Such a Long Day

I never thought this day would come to an end. I was up at 6am to take Chuck to work so I could have the car. The weather was nasty. The temp was 15 with a wind chill of -5. We had light snow, but the wind made it almost blizzard-like at times. I prayed for the whole 30 mile round trip. Back at home, the dog and I decided we needed more sleep so we slept in the recliner for a couple more hours. I knew I had to get moving because I had to be to the Church by 1pm for a funeral luncheon for one of the church members. I went to take a shower and heard a drip.... drip.... drip.... coming from under the bathroom sink. Not good. Come to find out, the leak was on top of the sink and the backside of the counter flooded causing a leak between the counter top and the wall. So I shut the water off from below the sink and called Chuck at work to tell him the news. We have been wanting to replace the cheap faucets in our bathrooms so we saw this as a sign that the time is now. Anyway, I finally got my shower, had some lunch, and wrote out some checks for bills. I got to the church about 12:30pm to help set up the fellowship hall. There was so much work to be done! The other ladies (my Mom and Sister-in-Law included) already had a jump start on the work. I don't think I sat down except for a short time during the service and the a few minutes to eat after the family had eaten. I was short on time because I had to pick up Chuck from work and get home to my poor pup who doesn't like to be alone. I was so tired and sore when I left the church. I haven't done that much work on my feet in a long time. I used to work in a restaurant but I quit working in 1999 when my arthritis got real bad. I was sure I would not be able to work out when I got home. After dinner, I made myself turn on the Wii and put in my Biggest Loser workout and off I went. All I have to say is.... OUCH! Bob put me through the ringer! It was just a light workout, but I dread that Downward Facing Dog. I did my best and got through it, but now I think I'm confined to my recliner for the rest of the evening. Hopefully it eases by tomorrow. Laundry beckons me (my least favorite chore). I am also hoping to add some pictures to my blog tomorrow if time allows.
