thunder

So, I stayed up sooo late last night. I started my blog after midnight, and didn't actually turn the light out to sleep until 1 am. Then, wouldn't you know it, there was a rain storm complete with thunder and lightning. The kitty woke me up at 4, by sitting on top of me. She might have been frightened by the thunder. After that, I had a really hard time going back to sleep. Must have dozed off a little bit, but finally gave up at 6 and got up.

So, precious little sleep.

The kitty also must feel a bit neglected with our busy week, because last night she reverted to some bad kitten ways. My last roll of toilet paper is now chewed and clawed. Shredded but usable.

It would have been very tempting to just forget exercise and stay in bed. However, Mr. (who I asked to help keep me motivated for this "six days shalt thou exercise") reminded me gently that I had an exercise goal.

So, up and sweating to a full Zumba workout before 7 am.

 Most of our time today went to hosting our guest and attending meetings with our colleagues. Good times, but I feel the pressure looming of that paper for my on-line class, other meetings, and e-mail catch-up. :-P

I was able, however, to grab a few moments here and there. I think I have now finished that paper (hoping Mr. will read it through and give me his feedback) and posted my final 2 responses to the class discussions. Encouraging.

We still weren't home much of the day, which the kitty isn't used to. She actually came and curled up on me tonight, which is rare. Except, of course, at 4 in the morning! Doh!

But now, really. I absolutely MUST get to bed. Didn't really have a lot of time for anything deep or reflective today. Simply keeping moving was a major accomplishment for me today!
