Won't this pretty picture distract you from my cranky behavior?
Deeps picked me up at the train station and I was a little cranky. I'm not sure what the source of cranky is, but I have a suspicion that it's because I'm very, very sore.
See - yesterday I go this bright idea to go to the gym for a good workout. I arrived early enough to make it to the 15 minute abs class. A colleague was at the gym as well and I suggested we go to the class together. Because – you know… 15 minutes, how hard could that be?
Oh my.
About two minutes into the class I realized I’d made a terrible, terrible mistake.
And whenever I can move my neck and head again, I’ll probably return to the class. I don’t know anything else like exercise that can make you feel so awful and still seem like a good idea later.
Anyway, I’m incredibly stiff and cranky. A week off from the gym for a cold didn’t help things at all.
As we drove home I was listening to Marketplace because I’m fascinated by stuff I don’t understand (finance) and Kai Ryssdal’s voice is very soothing. But then one of the reporters was doing a story that started to annoy me.
Me: Why does he say five grand and up to five times that?
Deeps: You mean instead of five to 25 grand?
Me: Why beat around the bush? Just say five to 25. What an *@@&^%#!
Deeps: That’s harsh.
Me: (muttering) Total *=!+ move.
Deeps: So it’s going to be like that is it?
Me: I guess so.

I love gym-related soreness! Well, not when I throw my back out (gah), but the overall muscle soreness. It just makes me think I worked really hard and, in turn, that makes me feel nice and skinny.
