Ms Elizabeth's Journal, 19 January 2021

Do you ever feel like your world is filled with squirrels? I used to refer to work as whack a mole but now I think all my moles turned into tiny speedy squirrels. I was half tempted to look at a co-worker today who had turned into 10 squirrels and tell them how cute I thought they were. We aren't in the office so chucking something at their head wasn't an option.

I got 3 months of apple fit+ for free so I thought I would try that for workouts. The only problems are I left my watch at Mike's house so I don't have that little ring on my wrist saying "good job!" because I'm like a child and I like my gold star or ring in this case. I was all set to workout watch or no watch this morning and I have been overrun by the madness at work. If the squirrels weren't enough the squirrels are requesting meetings with their boss and my boss to discuss me doing my job. Um.. I did my job. I did it over a week ago. It's not my fault you didn't follow up on the request you made. It's not my job to hold your hand. This has ballooned into me completing a new report and destroying my entire to do list for the day. Because it's upper management who wants the answers asap my workout is delayed. I'm venting while I run a file. I love my job.. I really love my job.. I swear I love my job.

As soon as things settle down I will checkout the apple fit workouts. I need to start strength training. I need to figure out some decent body weight workouts to follow a few days a week on top of the treadmill fun. Any suggestions? If I wasn't also trying not to spend money I would hire one of the trainers to make me a routine but well.. I'm cheap and I haven't been to the gym because its 45 minutes away and I never know if or when it will be open.

Yay Muesdays are fun!
