It's Monday

...and it's the first Monday after New Year's.

I've already been to the gym (which has nothing to do with a "resolution," since I've been going for months, just not regularly). I got up early with every intention of doing a quick 30-minute workout to start my day off. Well, as it's the first Monday after New Year's, apparently everyone else had the same idea. Thankfully the front of my gym is all windows and I could see as I drove past that there was a line. A line. To get in. Yeah... so I'll go later tonight when hopefully everyone else is already in bed.

It's going to be one of those weeks. Today, I will hit the ground running. After 2 weeks of essentially holiday at work, plus forced furloughs, I wasn't able to get too much done. So I have to start crack-a-lackin today. I just realized that I have 12 hour Tuesdays. That's 12 hours of active work, so it will probably pan out to be like 14 hour Tuesdays. Well, it's just 10 weeks, right?

I have an incredible pinch in my neck. I was nice last night and let my dogs sleep with me since it was so chilly in the house. Note: Fireplaces, while pretty in theory, are nothing but a huge drain on your home's heat: all the hot air goes right up the flue, and all the cold air comes slowly seeping in. Ugh--I hate them. Anyway, because there's a hell of a draft coming in my fireplace, I felt bad so the dogs slept with me last night. It's amazing how much space two small dogs can take up on a queen size bed. Apparently I slept in positions that would make a Cirque du Soleil performer jealous, hence the incredible pinch in my neck.

Ok; enough puttering around. Breakfast complete, gym postponed, so I'm off to start my day.

Happy Monday!
