105 degrees yesterday and it wasn't even a record for the day . .

. . . . . and almost as hot today! I didn't think we were supposed to have such a hot summer. Earlier we thought it was going to be a mild one. Boy, were we wrong. It is so hot you don't want to do anything . . . but after awhile, you just keep doing what you need to do . . . because life does go on. Yesterday, I was at a belly dance garage sale (trying to sell some of my old and/or used items) and we all were laughing about how hot we were . . . what are you going to do??

Good news is that despite the heat and those ppl at working (and their stupid meetings, lol), I've been keeping up with my exercise . . . if I don't have time to workout, then I at least have been walking. Today, I am leaving the house shortly for the fitness center. I didn't have any meetings scheduled when I shut down my work computer late Friday afternoon . . . so I am going to play ignorant and assume I have no meetings this morning. No one called to tell me I had any doc updates due either . . . soooooooooooooooo, off I go with the slightly skewed thought that I am OK with work . . . . and thinking I'll have to give an apology for not doing something that I didn't know about.

Sheeeeeeeeeeesh, i haven't even moved out the door and the sweat is trickling down my back!!!!!

6 Days in a row over 100 Degrees F . . it is HOT!

. . . but they think it will only be 99 degrees tomorrow, lol!

I've been trying to stay cool but it doesn't work too well when you are on a computer all day.

Regardless of the heat, I've been keeping up with my exercise program. Today I was only able to walk since those putzs at work scheduled an 8am meeting . . . I guess I should get up earlier, lol, but it is hard to motivate myself out at 6:30am when I barely get up by that time. The sleep problems have built some bad habits over the years. I can actually remember at one point that I would be up before 6am and at work by 7:30 . . . thankfully, I've been able to work from home a lot and I hope that will continue long enough for me to really get some new exercise routines built up.

Bummer, I want to say more but my mind is distracted by the fact that I am waiting on someone to send me a doc to update . . . and it is already 7:30pm. It needs to be finished for anothe 8am meeting tomorrow and not likely I will get to bed early enough to be up early enough to make it over to the fitness center for a longer workout on the weighted equipment.

This is the time where I tell myself to relax and not let it get to me. Can you see my big smile???? :-)
