You know the type of day...unmotivated, dearly needing to be but just can't muster up the focus. Ugh. Just brewed a pot of Dunkin Donuts coffee - yes it is 11 a.m. but I skipped it this morning and while this isn't the reason I'm sluggish, it can't hurt.
So, I'm donating blood once per week for my Hemochromatosis. After four sessions I think it is catching up to me. Honestly, I felt pretty good physically prior to giving blood. Workouts were good, I had energy and my mood was markedly better. Nothing has changed in my world outside of blood letting once per week. I really dislike being a whiner but I caught myself last night whining about not feeling good. I felt so blah I was in bed by 8:30 I think.
I have another appointment tomorrow and then 4 more before leaving for Vegas/Utah/Arizona for 7 days (Yeah!) I'll miss two donation appointments and I'll be very curious to see if I rebound any in that time. I'm even more curious to learn how I'll be feeling between now and the time Lynnell and I leave.
Okay, now for a brighter note - spent the day with Lynnell and her girls (Tici and Deza) yesterday. We did a little retail therapy. Shoes for Deza, Lynnell (3) and me (2). I think we single-handely helped Merrell's monthly bottom line. LOVE their shoes! I even picked up a shirt there for the trip (okay, it was a gift from Lynnell.) Oh and the shirt I got her from White House/Black Market (??) looked amazing on her. Red is certainly her color. When she hesitated at spending what the price tag said, I popped right up and said that looks to good on you to not get it. Anyway, it was a good day followed up with PF Changs for dinner. Yum.
Columbia Sportwear has some fun looking tent-pole backpacks. Lynnell picked up one for our trip to Utah. I'll be very curious on how it works.
Work is busy, my staff is buzzing around at the screen print shop. A set-back on Hevi-Shot is a learning experience for me and the staff. We'll have it up and running by end of week I'm sure. This is one project where the larger press would come in very handy!
Okay, 1.5 cups of coffee down and while I may have a tad more zip, I still have no motivation. I sure hope I'm not coming down with a bug (doubt it but what do I know right?!?!)
Lynnell is home and I'll leave pretty soon for home to hang out with her. Her "go-live" this month has tired her out pretty good and kept her fairly pre-occupied. I would love nothing more than to sweep her off to someplace sunny, with a beach and a fruity drink for a couple of days...however, warm will have to wait for Vegas/Utah/Arizona.
I am really looking forward to Arches. I'm sure I'll take a ton of pictures! And being there with Lynnell on her Birthday will be wonderful.
Til next time...
p.s. My friend Cory just hit me with this article about former Winterhawks coach Brent Peterson. Time to get my butt in gear and pick up the pace! Great article and thanks Cory...perfect timing.
