Disarray and Disorder

****

Recovery is realizing that the fullness of life awaits
you, and that the difficult struggle will turn into the
divine path.

It's late and I'm tired, but that's no good reason to not
write. It's not my diary's fault that I've been playing
with my myspace for the past 2 hours and didn't get around
to writing until now. Is it?

When I woke up this morning, I thought today was going to
be a crappy day. I woke up so late that Kiki missed
therapy. I had a hard time getting to sleep, although I
was tired and I feel bad that Kiki missed therapy, but I'm
still glad I managed to get in a few good hours of sleep,
or my day would have been crappy.

The house was in a state of disarray and disorder when I
got up this morning and that alone made me feel out of
sorts. Lately, I've been really good about keeping the
place neat, but last night I didn't do my 30 minute tidy-
up, which I regretted. Since I was running late, I took
the 30 minutes to clean up and that made me feel better
about the situation. I left the house feeling good about
myself because I knew it would be nice when I got home. I
made sure I did my tidy-up tonight.

After dropping off the girls, it appeared that it would be
smooth sailing getting to work, but out of nowhere a wall
of traffic appeared before me where there usually is none.
SR 16 goes from one end of Kitsap county to the other and
except for a bottle neck heading into Gorst, it's usually
clear. Not this morning. Construction and a rear end
collision had things backed up for miles. So, I had to
call into work to let them know I was going to be late.
Thankfully, Tiffany was understanding. I hadn't been the
only one surprised by the delay. Everyone coming from Port
Orchard and Bremerton had been late. So, I felt better
about that.

Work went by really quickly. We had steady business most
of the day and I divided my time between the cashwrap and
the fitting room. Switching roles in the middle of a shift
always makes the day go by faster. I looked at my watch
and it was past 4pm, the time I was supposed to get off.
Sweet.

Because I got off late, I didn't have as much time at the
gym as I like, so I did most of my workout at the gym,
then after I picked up the girls we went to the Family
Fitness Center so I could get in 300 more calories. I feel
compelled to burn 1000 calories a day. No matter what.
I've still got a little OCD left in me!

I have a funny story to tell about the gym! I was on the
high incline treadmill, which is in a line of about 10
other treadmills and 2 elliptical trainers. I had an older
guy to my left and a girl to my right. On her right, was a
guy about our age. We're minding our own business, working
out, when all of a sudden there's this god-awful stench. I
mean, it was making me gag. I had to pretend I was wiping
sweat off my face, just so I could breath into my towel. I
looked at the girl to my right, she looked at me, the guy
next to her looked at both of us, then we all looked at
the old dude next to me. He acted like nothing happened,
so we knew it was him. We all started busting up laughing!
He looked at us like we were insane. But, seriously. How
can you rip one with such a foul stench and not bat an
eyelash? Some people. I would have at least said excuse
me. I mean, I've ripped one on the treadmill/elliptical
before, but NEVER anything like that. It was monumental.

So, that was my day in a nutshell. I haven't eaten in over
12 hours, so I'm going to grab a snack and head off to
bed. Maybe a light n' fit yogurt (40 delicious little
calories). Ciao!
