Gotta Get Back in the Saddle

Since the move I have not been on the elliptical. With the kids home I don't exactly have the freedom to leave the house at midnight to go run the track at the high school and my exercise has dropped just a skosh. I am on my feet all day and that sure beats sitting at a desk - I tend not to fall asleep while standing up, that is always good. I was standing in line at the DMV in Vegas - it was the one out on West Flamingo. Anyhow, there was a guy a few people in front of me that kept falling asleep whilst standing. His head would start to droop some then the knees would start to bend and pretty soon he was sagging everywhere. Just when you thought he was going to go down he would pop awake and stand straight up again. When you are waiting around in those lines all day falling asleep isn't that big of a surprise. It was pretty much the standing and squatting and popping up suddenly that I found so memorable. I've fallen asleep just about everywhere but don't know that I have ever done it standing in line, like that anyway.

So yeah, I gotta find a nut so I can repair the elliptical and get it set up again. I am searching all over the place trying to find it. I had it sitting in a specific spot and it disappeared. I don't know if someone threw it away or if it just got knocked off where I had it. I keep looking in places I have looked previously hoping it shows up. It is beginning to look like I am going to have to come up with another option.

Anyhow, I have been missing my daily exercise and need to get that going again. Working around food doesn't exactly help the diet but it can easily be controlled. I just want to get back in the saddle, control things well and keep things going physically. Did do soccer practice tonight and got a little running in but not enough. I may get even more active in the practice and do a lot more running there. I will say this - I am absolutely terrible with the girls names. I have no idea how I am going to get that down. Actually it is coming.

Well, another full day on the schedule tomorrow. I got a call last night from someone in the Stake and have been asked to come in and meet with the Stake Presidency tomorrow evening. I don't want to automatically call it in fear that it will come true. I will simply hope for something other than Elders Quorum. Whatever, I will do it anyway.
