Rough Week

So, my last post mentioned how I was writing late. Well, that was a bad idea. The next morning I forgot to set my alarm and I woke up at 4:55. I did one of those half eye open and shut things a couple times, thought it was Sunday for a second, and then finally realized I slept in! I am supposed to open the club by at the latest 5:25, usually I open at 5:15. And I have a 35 minute drive to work! I jumped out of bed, called my coworker whom I knew would be at work before me to ask him to open. He tells me its okay, but that he has a client at 5:30. Fark! Well, long story short, I made it to work 5:35. No makeup, hair undone, no breakfast to boot. Thankfully the morning is slow so I could get ready for the day at work, and I keep a stock of oatmeal at work so could eat. Made it through alright, but Thursday I didn't fair so well. I was dead tired all day as was my coworker who had bad allergies. I came home directly after work (there was no way to do a workout and get caught up in traffic; I almost fall asleep at the wheel.) I hit the couch and was out like a light for four hours! And then was in bed at 9:30.

The result of all this: I have to make a change. I know, I know-- again?!! Well, I have no choice. So, I will be moving again, back into the city. Another move. Ugh.

Hopefully this will mean more sleep and less money spent on gas. With my workouts and this competition coming up that will require some money shelled out, I need as much time, money and focus as I can get.

Today was a better day and I had energy (thanks to all the sleep) so made up yesterday's workout and did giant sets with arms.

P.S. Never underestimate the healing power of sleep. I think a lot of colds, soreness, headaches, etc could all be solved with a good night's sleep, and repetition of them. :)
