Life Keeps Going By

I am so busy with work, and just enjoying the heck out of it. I feel sorry for people who don’t have a passion for what they do, OR, their passion is mis-guided (like several politicians who hold tele-townhalls to meet with their constituents – I think these are the ones in it for the entitlement programs)).

My son just bought his first house, but is awaiting the stimulus “first home rebate” check from IRS.  Cash for Clunkers have dealers complaining they are not getting paid in a timely manner (government says problem is in paperwork not being filled out correctly – sounds true -> when has government paperwork EVER been easy to navigate?)

Do you realize I exercise and watch what I eat, but at 55, it is very difficult to keep a waistline?  It is the most depressing thing.  Right now, I’m walking to the gym – 2.5 miles, and then weight train and stretch for 50 minutes, then walk another half mile home.  I still don’t lose weight, and sometimes slide UP a half a pound.  Currently, while still fitting in my clothes, I am  up 5 pounds, and everything is becoming uncomfortable.

Must have been that single slice of pizza I had two nights ago, along with some wine.  EMBA Team came over, and it was just great to see everyone and enjoy them for themselves – NOT for the current assignment deliverables.

I had a 90 minute massage tonight.  It was wonderful.  Not in the touchy feel-ly side of things, because it was rather painful due to lactic acid buildup from all my weight training.  But she really got in there and worked the muscles good. I have been delinquent in getting these, and it is definitely time to return to regularly scheduled massages.
