Just another monday

Workout: 53 minutes (cue music) ONE minute more than Friday but soooooo much harder. I was ready to quit after 10 minutes so the other 43 minutes were pure willpower. Sucks. I need to stop taking weekends off because Monday always bites. Plus the Y is crowded on Monday and I never get my favorite machines! /whine. Also did strength today and added some weight so I am happy with that.

Yesterday Ara and I went to the hospital with A's Mom to visit the new baby. I am not sure how to spell his name but it sounds like Luciano. He was tiny and cried the whole time but I held him and he smelled just like Ara did when she was born. There is something about that smell that makes me ache a little. Ara is almost 3 and I am so excited about how she is growing up but a little part of me is feels sad about leaving babyhood behind.

I feel sooo tired tonight, I just got Ara in bed and it's only 9pm but I could go to sleep right now. I think this fatigue played a factor in my workout struggle this morning. If I want to have a better workout tomorrow morning I think I should maybe get some rest. Let's hope no giant disgusting beetles attack me tonight. My foot will never feel clean again.

Worst Fear

It's 2:40am and I just found one of these giant hideous bugs in the worst way. I went to the bathroom but didn't bother to turn on the light... when I went over to the sink to wash my hands I stepped on something spiny and pokey and a little crunchy. At first I dismissed it as one of Ara's toys but after a second of thinking that it might be something else I turned on the light to see my worst nightmare scuttling a little dazedly across the floor.

Let me repeat that I stepped on this with my bare feet. So I am totally freaking out for 2 reasons. One, this prehistoric looking freak of a bug touched my feet. Two, I stepped on it and other than being a little dazed it looks to be perfectly fine.

I mean this thing was HUGE, it had to have been like 5 inches long and it had attitude too like it thought it could take me out. I put on shoes, opened the front door, cleared a path, then used the broom to sweep it out. Instead of running from my broom it turned and attacked! I'm glad I didn't know it could fly because then I might have just cried and shook in fear in the corner all night.

My foot feels contaminated and I am too freaked out to sleep now!
