Day 324, 323, 322, 321

I don't really remember Wednesday or Thursday. I know I went to work. Oh, Wednesday night I had to wait up for my daughter to come home from rehearsal and then I tried to stay up long enough to see my husband who had been on a business trip for the past three days. He called me from the airport around 11:30 pm. It turned out that Interstate 10 was shut down so he had to come up the Pasadena Freeway which had all but one lane closed. I have this weird sense of how long it takes to get from one place to another in L.A. so I woke up at midnight when he wasn't home and started to think he'd been in an accident. I would have just called him but then I'm thinking he might be driving on the freeway and me calling him might distract him and cause him to get in an accident. So I just laid in bed for the next 20 minutes thinking of all the really bad stuff that might have happened and what I would do if this turned out to be the case until he pulled up in the drive way.

When my husband is away I have to take on a variety of little chores that he usually takes care of before I get up. Not a big deal but chores that cannot be ignored, like feeding the dogs and cats. My husband gets up before dawn every day and the cats (we have three) want to eat as soon as he gets up. When he's away they come and get me up by meowing at the door. Now, if I were a morning person, I probably wouldn't be writing this blog because I'd be up in the morning exercising (which by the way I did do on Wednesday morning. Thursday and Friday were lost) and most of my problems would be over. For those of you that have been living under a rock, exercise is the magic to health and happiness. See this article from the Mayo Clinic if you need any convincing http://www.mayoclinic.com/health/exercise/HQ01676. But knowing is not the problem, right?

Thursday was along day because I had to stay late to take care of logistics for a dinner going on at work that night. On Friday I had planned to take two of the students who work for me out to lunch because they are graduating next week. We went to Olvera Street http://www.olvera-street.com/ in downtown Los Angeles. I knew that I would not make a smart choice for lunch so I just didn't eat anything else that day. In the evening I went to see my daughter's play. When I got home I waited for her to come home around midnight and well now its Saturday.

I'll be up tonight waiting.
