Pilates

Man, do I suck at Pilates. I don't do it often enough to get any good it. I don't do it often enough to improve any, so I hate doing it. I just do it often enough to remind myself, "This hurts and I'm not any good at it."

Do you have an exercise like that, that you keep trying to do, but no matter how many times you try it, you think, "I know that people get something out of this, but I just don't see it yet."

Running is like that for me, too. I have never gotten past the "I loathe this" stage of running.

"Accomplished" today

Went to church, bringing along Delia's Girl Scout cookies that needed to be distributed. Got them all distributed (less boxes underfoot in the kitchen, thank heavens).

Came home, ate lunch, short call with kijjohnson.

Take Delia to Space Camp meeting. Sit through the parents' meeting.

Go upstairs to Anodyne coffeeshop, start reading cousin's novel manuscript that she wants critiqued. Read and take notes for two and a half hours.

Pick up Delia from Space Camp meeting and take her home.

Fold laundry. Start new load.

Clean up office a little. Do Pilates workout.

Read newspaper, including want ads.

Eat broccoli and low fat hollendaise sauce for dinner.

Ask Delia if her homework is done. She says yes. I ask to see it. She starts crying hysterically. Seems that she has not done three two weeks worth of spelling. Calm her down. I help her clean up a place to do it (the dining room table) and sit there clipping coupons to keep her there and on task. When finished with that, work more on reviewing cousin's manuscript.

Not accomplished today:

Did not conference with kiramartin about coordinating summer plans for our kids.

I fought entropy, but the house is still a mess. It is one against three, four if you count the house itself. Not fair odds at all.

No, I am not asking for advice.
