It's a dog eat dog world ...

and I'm wearing milk bone underwear ...  thanks Norm from Cheers.

BUT

Praise be to all that is good ... we're closer to Sunday!!

Here's some riveting scoop:

My lift workout was a duplicate of Tuesday.  She rarely repeats - odd, but it was a good total body workout.  Endurance strength is HARD.  By the end of the lunge-squat series, I wondered if my legs might explode.  Really.  Legs SCREAMING to stop.  But I like my new bum so I grunted and groaned and finished.  (Not really -- while I can't help making the OMG face, but I don't make noise --- same in the bedroom.  TMI without warning - sorry.)

Doors getting painted first thing this morning -- open for about 4 hours to dry -- dog nightmare -- and broken AC off.  This change in time makes a run workout rough to fit in, but I'll make it work.  Some things don't get sacrificed easily.  It's a quick workout.

I took a well deserved cooking break and ordered dinner from a local restaurant.  We know the owners and I know the roasted chicken and sweet potatoes fits W30 (thanks to checking with my friend).  Best part -- no dishes.

Speaking of cooking:  I told hubby I know what I want for Christmas -- and then proceeded to buy it 10 minutes later.  Oh well.  Let's call it a pre-Christmas gift.  It's actually a gift that keeps on giving ... Instant Pot.  I follow W30 Instagram accounts and they preach this pressure cooker.  I think this will be a good time saver for me.  Some of the cooking sites I use have Instant Pot recipes so I'll try more than just the basics.  Spaghetti squash in 7 minutes!?!  Enough said.  Sold!

My mood is gradually climbing the closer we get to Sunday.  Freedom!  House back to normal.  My sweet old man happy and my other old man happy too.  Paint my nails.  Read.  SLEEP.  Watch Game of Thrones.  Leave my shoes safely at floor level 😌

Just a side note should anyone think I'm "dumping" a bad dog off with another family.  She is a sweetheart.  Her new family will give her a beautiful situation with a big, safe backyard to run in, doggie door to go out whenever she wants, two doggie siblings who LOVE to play with her, family who is patient and understands she needs time to trust.  She is wonderful.  Her new family is wonderful.  She's not a good fit for my people though.  She deserves a family that fits HER.  This one does.  That's the point of fostering.

I best get at it this morning.  Food prep to happen before no AC and dogs tethered to me.  A quick run - I haven't decided what "kind" of intervals yet - something to zone out and sweat works.

Today is the toughest day left.  I'm fighting the good fight.  I know EVERYONE will be happy when puppy-contractor-W30 channel gets turned off - God knows I will!
