This weeks days off have actually amounted to days off. I have been able to relax and get things done while doing nothing. Sounds contradictory doesn't it? I guess the best way to explain it is that I had nothing I was obligated to be to or do on either Monday or today so my time was my own.
This morning I did have a session with my personal torturer (more on that later) but after that nothing I had to be to. It was nice to work on getting things in my room as they should be. feeling a bit more like it is my space and closer to being a comfortable peaceful place for me. Hopefully soon I can rescue my computer and get it set up in my room so I can do this whenever I want.
Last night a I had bit of a problem with reflux and probably shouldn't have done the workout this morning but didn't want to miss it. What it did was make me have a hard time being outside so I didn't go to cub scouts tonight we were doing outside activities and with the heat I just knew it would be fool hardy for me to go.
I played adventure quest a bit today. It really is addicting!
I started reading "Dracula" this week. I had been trying to read "Wuthering Heights" but could not do it. I don't know that i ever will be able to I just plain do not like what have read of it. "Dracula" on the other hand I am loving. But then I have always had a thing for the count! Something so dangerous, romantic, and sensuous about him! He is the "perfect" man! ( yeah right!) he is romantic yet arrogant, aloof yet overbearing, a gentleman with manners but also demanding and forceful. Yup sounds like the "perfect" man! OK I jest. over bearing demanding forceful are not qualities of a perfect man at all. But Dracula has some sort of hold on my imagination and I just love him! So far "Dracula" is much better than "Wuthering Heights".
Life may not be perfect but it is good. I am having fun, enjoying new and old friendships, learning new things and maybe just maybe gaining some good habits to fight the addictions of working out and adventure quest with. And YES the addiction of working out needs to be fought to a degree. Nothing is good out of balance. So to let a good thing (working out) push out another good or better thing would be to be out of balance so there needs to be a counter balance an opposing addiction if you will. Which is one reason I am reading non fluff books-to exercise my mind.
Today my Personal torturer lived up to his name! I hate, loathe, love the abdominal work outs! I suck when it comes to the obliques need to work on strengthening those. Not to good with the others but better. I sometimes will sweat more doing the resistance training than I do with cardio more because of really working the larger muscle groups and focusing. Need to find my core ball and get it blown up so I can work on things at home...

Wow...way to go!balance is something I need to work on too...sounds like you're getting it down.
And in my opinion wuthering hieghts is on the "only on the clasics list because no one would read it other wise" list. It's a story of prue selfishness and I could barely stand to force myself through it.
Glad you are enjoying Dracula... you remind me of everyone's fasination with the phantom... it didn't help that he was played by gerard buttler but I always laughed at how easily we were all fasinated and drawn to the dark chacter instead of the "good kind" Raul. Anyway...maybe we all have a bit of the wild side in us...lol
HugZ and Hugz!
and ps...you are very much loved!
