So.Tired. Didn't get home until 10:30 last night. :( I want to quit this but I can't do it to her. She would be devastated. When her business slows down over the winter I will talk to her about an exit strategy. I thought I could hang in there until she transitioned into semi-retirement, but four or five years seems so far away right now.

I really really wanted to run this morning, but I needed to sleep. Oh well. It isn't the end of the world. Tomorrow morning (after a FULL 8 hou...

Didn't God rest on the 7th day?

Wow. Busy day. I love work days that are sooo busy that you are surprised to look at the clock and it says 4:59 PM. Sweet.

I weighed in this evening at the gym. I am still up over last week, but I do tend to weigh more in the evenings. The scale went down since Tuesday so there is hope of misplacing that 3.38 lbs this week. I suppose, truth be told, there is always hope. :$

I felt confident going into the gym this evening that I would get my 50 minutes in at 4.3 MPH. I was do...
