I really didnt want to go

 to the gym this morning.  I was moaning within that it is tooooo early to go workout.  Now I enjoy working out, so it isn't that.  I was just being lazy. But I kicked my butt into gear and grabbed an energy drink cause the body just wasn't waking up, and headed to the gym.  And I'm glad I did.  I had a good workout, and because the person after me cancelled, my trainer and I were able to chit chat for a bit before I told him that I really had to get home or hubby would be texting me "where are you>"  Which reminds me, I left my phone in the car and need to go out and get it.  Oh well.

Today will be another busy day and I have several things on my list I need to get done for work.  One work day down, three more to complete and then vacation.  That is what is keeping me going this week. I am so ready for 'rest days'.  Not thinking about meetings to schedule.

I got a surprise yesterday - a big surprise, actually.  I received a gift from my little sister - you know the one who told me she wasn't sending anything; didn't want anything to do with me.  Yeah, that one.  She does send some interesting and fun gifts.  The big one is a facial thingie.  Sorry - can't think what it is called.  She sent me one about 30 years ago - it was under the sink for a long time and I gave to a daughter in law who is all about makeup.... don't know if she uses it ornot.  But this one is a much nicer one .... will take on jailbreak getaway.  And maybe try it before then.  I jsut don't get into make up a whole lot.

What else did I get?  Some melted chocolate turtles... yeah, a short time in the refrig and they are ready to eat - or shall I say 'were' ready to eat. :-)  Also got a body scrub that the title is "make me a morning person".  Like that would happen.  It will take more than a scrub to make me a morning person.  What else... hmmm... also got a DVD called .. uh.. something flute.  Dont' remember title but she said it was good.  Also a pair of pajamas.  I love pajamas so was glad to get them.  I have her package almost ready to send out - probably as we go out of town.  And yes, I bought chocolate to put in her box as well. 

Our 41st anniversary is next week - which is why we go on 'vacation' at this time every year.  I did buy a card yesterday for hubby, which is something I don't always do.  I just can't ever find one that says what I want it to say.  For my own personal reasons.  I'm not sure what I'll give him this year... I think I may just pay for the extra half hour of training for him for one month- he will like that - he won't have to pay for it.  I was making him pay for the extra, so if I pay for it... it can be a gift.  Yeah, I think I may do that as there is absolutely nothing he - nor I - need.  Except chocolate.  I always need dark chocolate.

Hubby has caught a cold - at least I hope that is what it is.  With COVID in the past few years, I must admit that the thought has come to me, but I'm praying it's just a cold.  I mentioned it to the trainer this morning and he said colds and allergies were going around.  Going to kick up my Olive Leaf Extract capsules and Vitamin C... I certainly don't want to be sick while on vacation - althoughI would be able to rest a lot.  Hubby says he checked the weather (of course he did)..... and we may have rain the entire time we are there.

And you know what?  I don't care if it rains every day.  I just want to rest, and read, and relax.  And rain helps with that.  It would be perfect if the cabin has a fireplace - wouldn't that be cool - turn on the fireplace and curl up beside it with a good book and my blankie?  Oh yeah - perfect.  Plus a cup of hot tea perhaps.  I'm so ready.

And I have so much to do today - have a board meeting tomorrow at 1-2:30PM so need tp prepare for it too - yeah... got to take minutes.  My least favorite thing to do.  Especially when I'm tired.

My trainer and I were talking about many different things this morning.  I mentioned that when I'm struggling my favorite words are "Lord, Help!"  He told me that he about cracked up at one of his clients the other day.  When she was struggling with a weight she would say "call a friend, call a friend!"  LOL  That even made me laugh.  I prefer "Lord, help!"  cause He always does. :-)

Well, - it's almost 7AM and I need to get on the work computer - have a lot to do today.  Sorry I have just rambled once again.  Didn't sleep well last night - although I went to bed at 8PM becuase I was so tired; I was awake at 11PM and had trouble getting back to sleep.   And hubby was coughing some during the night - and so did I.  NO COLDS FOR VACATION!!

Hope you have an amazing day!

Blessings!
