and so i did. yesterday was an African hot day...and after a really busy/tough overnight shift, i came home to a very hot apartment. the cats were spread out as long as their limbs could reach. so, i dusted the ole air conditioner and set it up in the kitchen window, mostly because it was the easiest place to put without breaking my back and where nosy kitties wouldn't mess with it. it really should go in one of the livingroom windows but the cats love sitting at those windows and i hate having to block one of them.

i took three short showers yesterday. after every one, i felt i needed another one because it was so sticky hot. ran a couple of errands and then headed to the gym. while in the gym, i looked out the window and saw that the sky was getting very dark... i finished my short stint on the cardio machine and bolted out of there because i knew i'd get stuck outside in the middle of a bad thunderstorm, with no umbrella and 10 blocks to walk. sure enough, halfway home, it began to pour...

i made it home without too much damage and finished the workout with 240 crunches. made dinner, ate, fed cats, and settled in to watch....wait for it... wait for it... TV. that lasted all of 10 min. what trash.

decided to watch a few dvds i'd checked out from the library, but promptly fell asleep.

so went yesterday.

today, i head for a quick workout and then to meet a former co-worker who is moving out of the country. we'll catch up, have a nice lunch and hopefully keep in touch.

i'm feeling fitter, but manoman, it's really tough getting back to shape. age and work is making it tough. overnight shifts are not normal. you shouldn't be eating a bowl full of pasta at 2 am...but alas, that's what happens. everything is backwards.

anyhow. the rainstorm (complete with lightening and thunder) brought with it cooler weather. it'll be in the 70's today.

yee ha!

ciao!

ps. how many of you are playing around with that cool google tribute to Les Paul? i know i am...
