Thursday!

Keeping my finger's crossed that I will be able to attend the Retiree's Cigar Group this afternoon!  I am looking forward to it.  Unfortunately, with my new schedule, my attendance is assured (as assured as it can be) for today and for next Thursday.  After that, I regrettably will be much more sporadic.  That has me concerned because it is a wonderful experience for me and I have grown to look forward to it greatly.  With how it stands now, I may only be able to attend once a month for the next few months.  I am trying to figure out other options, but I am not sure what they may be.  

• Yesterday, I ran on the Planet Fitness treadmill and did my upper body workout.  My arms and chest are indeed sore this morning, but that is to be expected and a good thing.  I am going to go again today.  I am now officially recording my upper body weight training in a book I made with the four potential areas I may lift weights at (PF, the U, the pool, and some minor lifting at home using old equipment my youngest son has left behind) so I have no excuse to not do this and no excuse to not KNOW where I am at in my attempted improvements.  
• I ran today at the local track, which opened back up this morning at 6:00am.  I am glad it is back and there are no planned closures for months now (only heavy snow may shut it down).  

The image above is not me, but the craggy fellow does represent how I felt this morning being a bit more sore than usual.  But, again, that is a good thing.  It will allow me to grow.

Contentment Score = 6... I am feeling just like plugging along trying to prepare for the next semester.  I am also working on getting Christmas Decorations put away and the house cleaned and back up to snuff from the holiday activities and increased mess from messy folks.

Pipe Craving Score = 4... With this being a "RCG" day (Retiree's Cigar Group), although I have a yearning for a pipe, the substitution of the RCG... with its camaraderie has me feeling that yearning less than I otherwise would... since I have something really enjoyable to look forward to.
