In his book Today Matters John Maxwell told the story of a boy called Alexander, Alexander went to bed with chewing gum in his mouth unfortunately he woke up in the morning and the gum was in his hair so he was late for school, he lost his homework, he fell over he hurt himself, the point is his day went from bad to worse. While I would not say that my day went from bad to worse, it did go from good to awry. I did wake up in the most positive of moods, I had a plan, which started a bit late, but started nonetheless, I had planned to go for a walk that's part of my new routine, i was going to come back and do some work, also mapped out, I was going to make some phone calls write a blog post et cetera and then I was going to go for an insanity exercise! So where did it go awry?
As I left my house this morning, I noticed a note stuck the side of my car, it said, and I quote “ nearside tyre flat, Bob x” hmm I thought? Had peek, and true enough it was flat. Not good, but still upbeat, I left it and went on my walk. On my return after coffee, I took the car to the garage, I was there for a while, wrote some notes. etc. when I left, it was well past lunchtime, and I went in my local shop, to buy some bread, and when I got to the counter I did not have my wallet, the one with my bank card in it at any rate. So after my purchase, I had to confirm that I had left it at the garage, all in all after lunch, went out to get to get the wallet, and but by the time I got back the best part of the day had gone. I had plans to go to an insanity class, so after a 40 minute power nap, ( don’t laugh, I was that tired!) off I went.
So, I knew Insanity was hard, after all I spent many a sleepless morning watching the infomercials on the tv. But Oh my Gosh, I was really not prepared.. up and down, squats, lunges, squat thrusts. Oh I was dripping with sweat.. lol.. I kept thinking that oh my how am i going to do teakwondo tomorrow? As hard as it was, I only missed one set for the love of God, I just could not do it. My legs are killing me ( nothing new there) , my abs are in shock and I can’t wait until next week. Hopefully for those of you who believe in astrology, this mercury retrograde can't end soon enough!
