Goal: <\/strong>New morning fitness regime<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Action Plan:<\/strong> Wake up at 5 a.m. everyday, do some pushups and then go for a run when it\u2019s still cool outside and my polyester running shorts are less likely to spontaneously combust. (That sure is getting expensive!)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Day 1 <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

5:00 \u2013 Alarm goes off. Check to see if it is phone or fire\nalarm. It\u2019s phone \u2026 hello snooze button! Lay head back down for just a minute \u2026\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

7:42 \u2013 Wo! Going to be late to work \u2026 start New Morning\nFitness Regime tomorrow. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Day 2<\/strong> (Note: Started taking care of brother\u2019s dog today while he is on vacation. Good timing.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

5:00 \u2013 Alarm goes off. Wait a minute \u2026 that\u2019s not an alarm.\nThat\u2019s some \u2026 stinky, hot dog breath \u2026 IN MY FACE! \u201cOH MY GOSH ELLA! You\nshouldn\u2019t be in here. Why are you standing on the bed? Wait a minute \u2026 it\u2019s only\n4:33! Get out!\u201d Lay head back down for just a minute \u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Real 5:00 \u2013 Alarm goes off. Check to see if it is phone or\nfire alarm. It\u2019s phone \u2026 hello snooze but– \u2026 \u201cOH MY GOSH, ELLA! WHY ARE YOU\nBACK IN HERE!?! GET OFF THE BED!!!\u201d \u2026 start New Morning Fitness Regime\ntomorrow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Day 3<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

5:00 \u2013 Alarm goes off. Check to see if it is phone or fire\nalarm. It\u2019s phone \u2026 hello snooze \u2026 Dangit! Last-night-fitness-Brian disabled\nit. At least no dog. OK, get up, get dressed, drink a glass of water, go to\nbathroom, floss teeth (running and gingivitis do not go together) and then \u2026\nTRIP OVER DOG OUTSIDE BEDROOM DOOR! \u201cOH MY GOSH, ELLA. WHY ARE YOU SLEEPING\nRIGHT THERE?!?\u201d Possible sprained ankle, but don\u2019t think the cut on forehead\nfrom hitting the wall will require stitches. Dog appears fine, aside from\nstinky, hot dog breath. What does she eat?!? Get ice for ankle \u2026 start New\nMorning Fitness Regime tomorrow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Day 4 <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

5:00 \u2013 Alarm goes off. Check to see if it is phone or fire\nalarm. It\u2019s phone \u2026 forget snooze \u2026 nighttime-Brian is too smart for us. Get\ndressed, forget water, bladder can wait, to heck with gingivitis, slowly \u2026 open\n\u2026 door \u2026 and \u2026 TIP-TOE \u2026 over \u2026 big \u2026 sleeping \u2026 dog. That\u2019s odd \u2026 no dog.\nMaybe she\u2019s getting into a routine. Or maybe she\u2019s \u2026 SLEEPING AT THE HEAD OF\nTHE STAIRS!!!! Tumble, tumble, tumble. Quick body check: Elbow definitely\ndislocated, some kind of bone sticking out of leg, can only see out of left eye,\nworld now appears to be purple. And smells like stinky, hot dog breath!!! \u201cOH\nMY GOSH ELLA, GET OUT OF MY FACE SO I CAN DIE WITH DIGNITY!!!\u201d \u2026 start New\nMorning Fitness Regime tomorrow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Day 5<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

5:00 \u2013 Alarm goes off. Can\u2019t reach it with my arm in the\nsling and the IV bag stand in the way. Only good thing is\nnighttime-fitness-Brian couldn\u2019t disable the snooze button. So, I\u2019ll just lay\nhere in peace and listen to the alarm and think about my lucky \u2026 \u201cOH MY GOSH,\nELLA! HOW DID YOU GET BACK IN HERE?!? I THOUGHT WE GAVE YOU TO THE HUMANE\nSOCIETY? GET OFF THE BED!!!\u201d \u2026 start New Morning Fitness Regime next year \u2026 or\nmaybe not at all. I can afford to replace those spontaneously-combusting\nrunning shorts. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
