Some Days You Just Gotta....SMILE.

What a day yesterday. It was a roller coaster of.....I don't know exactly what to call it. I started my day cleaning out my "cupboard of crap". Everyone has one. It is the "catch-all" cupboard that you place all the items you don't know where else to put them and then shove the door closed, so they don't fall out. I try to clean it out during the month of January, so I don't end up on one of those shows like "Clean House", where you have to pole vault into your living room, because you can no linger see your carpet and Niecy Nash is holding up one of your beloved chatchkies and wants you to sell it at the yard sale, and rolling her eyes. But I digress. So, I was cleaning out my "c-o-c" lets call it, and my baby sister shows up to help my Mom clean out her "b-o-c" otherwise known as her "basement of crap". (Apparently when you age, a cupboard just doesn't suffice.)

She comes down the stairs and tells me she has had an epiphany and has figured out she has 3 sisters who love her and she would like to spend more time with the people who love her and have a better quality of life. It was really sweet and we had a moment. Then, off she goes to the "b-o-c". I kept cleaning my "c-o-c" when I suddenly realized I was going to be late for the gym. UGH~ when does that become fun? I changed my clothes and ran out of the door into the Arctic tundra. It was a freaken' WHITE OUT! (Not kidding) But, I am a woman on a mission, so I tread on. I get to the gym and low and behold, it is a surprise weigh in day. YEAH!! I hate weigh in days. I am never prepared. But, I lost 6 lbs. WHEW HEW!! Never saw that coming. To celebrate this momentous occasion, I get to go on a lovely machine straight out of the dark ages, called a "Hack Squat" machine. She tells me to hop on it and asks me if I remember how to use it. Now, I know I have a short term memory problem, but I am pretty sure I've never used this machine before in my life. So, I tell her I don't remember, because I don't want to look like a moron, and she gives me a little "refresher". I get in it and she releases the pins, and I start sinking to the ground. I just started laughing so hard, because I was getting a visual of myself and she had to rescue me. But, we figured out the problem and I finally did it correctly. After my torture session, I mean workout, she put me on the floor to stretch me out. Oh my holy crap! I asked her as she was doing things to my legs I'm quite sure weren't natural if she was doing this in case I ever joined the circus. She laughed and announced my hip flexor was really tight and I said it was probably was tight because I was never supposed to be able to kiss my knee while on my back! Anyhoo, it was a very interesting day. I can't wait until I can feel my legs again. I tread on.
