Running..What Running?

I sit here watching the clock slowly click by and I'm trying to think of ways to rationalize not running today. I'm tired: not a very good reason. I'm lazy:excellent reason! Unfortunately I will hate myself later for such nonsense but I just can't seem to get myself up and out of the door. This past week did bring a nice cooked meal on Saturday. I made lasagna which is one of Mike's favorite. I'm trying to think if I cooked any other night and I really cannot remember. I think our eating habits have gone to pot. Last night's dinner was Cadbury easter eggs and Cheetos. I can see red flashing lights but I just don't have the time/energy/inclination to change anything right now. The good news is that we are trying to still curb the eating out, which is very hard and is resulting in Cheeto dinners. Why I buy the Cheetos in the first place I don't know. Last week we ate out at Swing Thai and Red Robin. Not excellent selections by any means but at least it was only twice. We did sacrifice our Sunday Einstein's this week given that the stupid lasagna is so fattening. Damn, what a shame. March's grocery bill was a mere $232 which is a sure indication that we are not cooking enough. The dining out expense did not change from usual so I think we are currently grazing on my heavily stocked kitchen which is a good thing.

Work: What a mess. The stress is starting to be overwhelming. I cannot even begin to describe the crap that is involved day in and day out. Client is under contract on a house, sees another house online, wants the other house, client is a lawyer and wants to terminate the contract and is willing to sue seller. On and on. Client lives in California and doesn't understand the market. Doesn't take my advice and due to lowball offer and poor negotiations looses the house and now I'm to blame. On and on. The stress, and probably bad diet, has led to some health issues that led to the Doctor on Friday. The details are very gross but lets just say a trip to the loo had me crying hysterically on the phone with Mike. Thankfully it's just a common ailment that results from stress. Excellent. With Mom's history the incident had me primed for a minor breakdown. After our Friday date day got depleted with work and Doctor I tried to take Saturday off by not scheduling an Open House. The result was work but no prospecting which kills me too. Sunday's Open House was cancelled due to putting in a contract for lawyer client. Great. I'll try not to stress.

Poker. Frustrating, Frustrating, Frustrating. Record was in the money 5 for 13 tournaments. It was so frustrating because I came in 4th 3 times! GRRR. I kept trying to move up by playing 2 more tourneys with no luck. My record was 4-6, then it was 5-6, then it was 5-7, then it was 5-8 and then I just gave up. I need to figure out how to convert the 4th places into 3rd places and all will be good. Luck was definitely out this week so I guess this is more an indication of what's in store for me. Dammit! The playing time is very easy. It' s not hard to do 4 tournaments in about 3.5 hours or so. Last night I addressed envelopes and played and it was just dandy. I can fit in all the tourneys I need in about 2 nights which is how it worked out this week.
