I think that I lost Monday's entry, or maybe it was Sunday's. Either way, dammit.
After I'd uploaded yesterday, Karen called, she was over at Matt's having supper along with everyone else, and she invited me over. For a change, I felt like being sociable, so I went, and I did have a good time. Got to bed late last night and slept like a log. Well, kinda like a log... I woke up in the middle of the night freezing, I couldn't seem to get underneath the covers... 'cause I'd kicked them off of the bed. Once I got that figgered out, I was OK. This morning... this morning was a different story. I didn't much want to get up, and I really didn't much want to go to work. But I did. In fact, I went to see the doctor at 08:15. The knee doc, but not really, he's on vacation, so I was going to see one of his partners. But that didn't really work out, it was only the first time today that I would feel like a fool. You see, my appointment is for *tomorrow*! So anyways, I went on to work. I was the runner today, and my knee did hold up pretty good for the first part of the day anyway, but towards the end it was complaining a lot. Got off a little after 17:00, did I mention that we were short and busy? Karen and I had an appointment to go to the "Y" and see a trainer The girls name is Mary, cute little thing, full of energy and with her mind going faster than her mouth could ever go, she was a natural straight man for me. I did resist quite a bit, most of the time. So Mary did an interview and printed out our scheme. Only the printer was out of toner, so we'll have to do it again next time that we go in, probably tomorrow. Anyway, they have lotsa neat machines there, and I think that I will enjoy it once I can get into it. We had about ten or so machines in our program, actually Karen has a coupla more than me, 'cause Mary didn't want me to do certain things without a doctor's release. I need to call the doc tomorrow and have them fax a release over there, there really isn't anything that I can't do, except for walking and running and stuff like that which would hurt my legs. So, Karen and I are both enthusiastic. So much so that we decided to celebrate by going to the Outback. I had the steak and potato and Karen had a salad. I love their steaks! After that, we went across the street to Target and I bought some exercise clothes and a bag. Karen thinks that my bag is ugly, but I don't, else I wouldn't have bought it. I'll take a picture of it some day and let the world judge.... Anyway, I was tired when I got off work, and I'm still tired, but I have the cure for that... eight hour of sleep comin' up!
at 18:00, and we just barely got there on time.
