Space Out

I don’t know where to begin with today. I just had one of those not-very-motivated-to-do-much-today kind of days. After the last few days that I had, I justified that I deserved a day to kind of putz around and just take care of little stuff. Most of the morning I just sat at my desk and I just sorta spaced out. “Space out?” you might ask. “I just stare at my desk; but it looks like I'm working. I do that for probably another hour after lunch, too.”

Anyone? Anyone?

Actually, after lunch, I sat down with Spencer and got him caught up on the dozen or so projects that all popped up after he left for the conference. Mike also gave him a brief on the piece of the pie that he’s involved in. That took almost an hour. Then I sat and thought about what I could do for the rest of the afternoon. I was kind of sleepy, so I told Mike that I was going to take a nap. I think that Mike thought I was going to go back to my apartment, but I just leaned back in my chair and slept for about an hour. And when I woke up, I felt like a million bucks. I did get some stuff done after that, but it was most ly just ‘token work’. Like work to justify my existence.

A few days ago (Monday) I picked up a Snickers bar and I kept it on my shelves. I knew it would be dangerous to keep around. And I actually picked it up and held it in my hand a few times. But not today. I ate that bee-yotch and it was good. Mike walked in on me with it and gave me stern look and told me that I was going to have to pay for that this afternoon. Woop-de-doo. It was 280 colories and that's about 25 minutes at mid speed on the elliptical. I think Mike was ticked off, because he's a bigger snacker than I am. And since I ate some candy, so that means that his will-power will decrease by 50%. I'll figured I’d him eating something later in the afternoon. And he would blame it on me.

I was almost right. When Mike came back from dinner, I asked him what he had for dinner and he said that he had mozzarella sticks, onion rings, and tuna fish. Then he blamed my Snickers bar. Ha haha!

After work today I went to the gym and worked off my Snicker’s bar. I haven’t mentioned my pedometer lately, but I use it almost all the time. I’ve only forgotten it one time lately. I’m going to try to post my spreadsheet on this entry now.

The first attempt was not good. I hope this one works better.

If not, I'll fix it tomorrow. Good night.
