80 Day WLC – Day 9

What is your favorite type of cardio?

My treadmill!  I either just walk on it at between 3 and 3.5 mph, or I’ll combine walking and jogging….walk for a few minutes, jog for a few minutes, rinse, lather, repeat.  I’m on the treadmill for 45 minutes to an hour.  I love the fact that it’s in front of the TV in my bedroom, but especially the fact that it has a hookup for my iPod and plays my music through speakers on the treadmill….it’s awesome!

Today was crazy at work!  Phones ringing off the hook, people walking in without appointments, and some crazy lady who called Sheryl (one of the other secretaries) a bitch, then called back, got me, and called me a bitch!  She was pissed because we couldn’t change her will.  She and her husband, who was a retired UAW worker (we provide legal services for UAW employees/retirees), came in a while ago and made out a will that left everything equally between his kids and her kids.  Well, hubby died not too long ago, so now she wants the will amended to cut his kids out of it, and leave everything to just her kids.  Sounds like a real peach, doesn’t she?  After she called Sheryl a bitch, Sheryl hung up on her.  When she called back and got me and called me a bitch, I hung up on her.  Dave, the managing attorney, said if she calls back again to put her on hold and he would talk to her.  Yep, she called back, I answered, put her on hold and told Dave to pick up.  He very nicely explained to her why we couldn’t change the will for her, and she proceeded to say to him "fuck you" and "your fucking service sucks" and all other sorts of nice things.  So Dave told her God bless you, and you have a nice day, and then he hung up on her! LOL!  I don’t understand people who act like that.  Makes me just sit and shake my head.  But Sheryl and Dave had to make sure to make a note on the electronic file just in case she calls the national office and tries to make trouble for them.

I’m feeling guilty.  I have an appointment for testing on Thursday for a job with AAA.  Well, I couldn’t just come out and tell my current employer that, so I said I had a doctor’s appointment.  I hate lying, and I feel like a real jerk for doing it…..I just didn’t know what else to do.  So I called my mom and told her, and she said well, do this…after your testing, go by your doctor’s office, say hi, make an appointment if necessary or confirm the date of your next appointment, and voila!  You didn’t lie!  LOL!  Gotta love my mom….she’s a smart woman.

Hubby is talking about getting a dog within the next couple of months.  I’m going back and forth between loving the idea and not being so crazy about it.  The big thing is I hate picking up dog crap….and since we live in an apartment community, picking up after your dog is a must.  YUK!!  Dogs are also a lot more responsibility than cats are, but hubby doesn’t like cats.  So we’ll see what happens.  I would probably love having a dog….if hubby will pick up the dog crap…lol!

I hope you’ve all had a lovely and productive Monday!  Much love….xoxo
