Gym Yarn


What a difference a few hours can make.  I went to the gym this morning and it was pretty quiet.  Only a few of the regulars and we are a wee bit tired so we just hunker down and do our workouts.  There is a woman in the morning that looks like someone I used to work with but she looks so different when not in a suit so I'm not sure its her.  One day I'll have to just walk up and say hi and see what happens.

Now, I just got back from the gym and oh the horror...at least on my part.  See the picture above?  Well, picture a man with a harness around his leg and through his crotch and his personal trainer was squatted behind him just like the guy above.  I didn't take in the whole picture when I first saw it and thought what the heck has the gym come to.  I have no idea what they were attempting but I have to say "dude, that looks so uncomfortable".

On my final Friday note, are leggings appropriate for casual Friday?  I'm sure you all know my opinion but I thought I'd throw it out to the masses.  I love my Lululemon's but they are definitely not office attire.

Do birds yawn?

That is my question of the day.  I saw a seagull standing on the Rideau Canal wall this morning and it looked like he was yawning.  Now I'm curious. I forgot to show you the shoes I wore yesterday.  It was a fabulous shoe day.  After an initial crack (and even I was a tad worried for a moment) my foot settled into the shoe and was quite happy for the entire day.  We won't discuss how it felt last night....that's a secret between me and my Advil. Like the shoes say "my feet looked fabulous". Today's shoes are a favourite from our last Pointe Clair shopping adventure. You just have to love living in Canada.  The weather was so different this morning than it was yesterday.  Yesterday I was sweating 15 minutes into my ride to work and this morning it felt like there were icicles on my fingers.  Lovely for biking though.  So many pretty sights to see this morning as well.  Seeing the hot air balloon in the sunrise was so pret...

Stabbed, electrocuted and stimulated. How many of you can say you've had that kind of Friday?

Image
Started my day on Friday with some acupuncture, electrocution (they put a wet sponge inside the suction cups just like when they used to electrocute prisoners!) and then muscle stimulation on my foot.   I have to say that it was pretty happy after it was all done although the first needle in my toe was painful.   Hopefully a few weeks of this and my foot will be much happier than it has been in the last few months.   After a super busy work week it was great to babysit my little friends Charlie and Eddie last night. They are such good kids and it is always a pleasure to be with them. On the way home from Richmond at 10:30 p.m. I saw a lone tractor plowing a field with its huge lights on. Seems like kind of a lonely job but I suppose if you crank up the tunes you could have a little party while doing it. No booze though or you’d have very crooked rows of crops. Back at work today but hopefully it won’t be too long a day. Race weekend here in Ottaw...

Hospital to home comfort

Image
I was pretty leary about only having freezing before they cut into my foot and because the needle was so huge but it wasn't too bad. Certainly not as bad as the cortisone shot I had a few months ago. I was even pushed into OR by the doctor.  I told him I'm sure that's something he wasn't expecting to be doing at this stage in life. He has a pretty good sense of humor.  There was some pretty good music playing in the OR which makes it a tad less scary. So we are all set to go after they cover me with a couple of blankets and sheets and wrap my foot in many towels (if thats to soak up the blood...yerks!)  So much laundry for one foot.  Then he says with sharp instrument in hand "we are going to test you now".  What??? Stab me and see if I scream?? Well, there were no screams so that's a good start.   There was a lot of pushing and digging or at least that's what it felt like from my end of the table.  I said I was waiting for the sound of th...
