Hump Day (I'm all out of titles)

My back is improving, but is still problematic.  It's a bummer, but I seem to be able to do most of my workouts.  That's good news.  And it should be mended by our long flight to Italy.

The year we went to Spain, we also went to Hawaii.  Long ass flights back-to-back.  This year is the same.  It's not fun, but no choice in the matter lol.  Sitting for so long hurts.  If only we'd fly 1st-class!  I want to be that fancy!  But who can really complain (obviously me)?!?

Hubby noticed the blonder look.  Yea - it's real!  And darn these nails.  Gone on Saturday.  While I don't love them, it's good to know an option exists that won't chip or peel -- you never know when that comes in handy.  I just need to have them VERY short -- lesson learned.

My workouts yesterday went well.  I did some intervals first, then total body lift in class.  I needed help picking up the bar (my back) but otherwise was able to do it all.  I'm going to do a few more intervals today.  My legs feel rested.  Cardio back in my life works.

Today is my pedicure followed by some shopping.  This could go either way.  When I "need" clothes, I often have a problem finding them.  I need a few blouses and maybe one more skirt.  I'm just hitting one store today, then tomorrow will be more (if needed).  Come on shopping karma ...

Party planning is coming along nicely.  All I need to do at this point is order the cake.  I'm toying with cupcakes so we can do a variety and cookies because I love cookies lol.  They are known for their decorations -- Steelers themed for the hubby.  With graduation season, ordering needs to be early.  I have the shop picked out but I need to stop by and talk with them.  I want to do it this week before we leave.  I didn't realize hubby has NEVER had a birthday party.  Well, it's about damn time!

My funky mood is lifting.  I'm refocusing on the little things that made my day brighter.  It makes a difference and I didn't realize how much.  That's Jim Rohn's message. (Plus empty nest is reviving ME.)

Today's intention is to BE NICE.  I have a couple of pokey things aggravating me, but I need to be a nice person.  The temptation is to be verbally aggressive in response to these situations.  Rude answered with rude.  But ... to quote our former First Lady ... when they go low, I go high.  Now if I said my intention today was to be HIGH, that might be misunderstood lol.

Later gators.
