Challenge 17: Roller Skate with the Dog

January 29, 2010

It was harder to get up this morning than it has been. I set my alarm for 8:30 so I would have enough time to walk the dog and drink tea before my 10am coaching call, but when the alarm went off, I just couldn't do it. It was cold in the house this morning. I opted to stay in bed til 9:15. I woke up out of a deep sleep, and groggily got out of bed. The puppy, anxiously awaiting his walk, paced back and forth, and sat (like a good dog) on my feet to signify that he was being so good that he should go out. "Not right now puppy. I promise after my call I will take you out."

I just got off the phone with my client. Sample session. She is going to think about whether or not she wants to hire me. I think YES! It's gloomy out. Certainly not as sunny and beautiful as yesterday, but at least not rainy. I am happy to report that yesterday was filled, hour by hour, with my to-do list, and damn did it feel good to be so busy and get it all done. I'm so glad I decided not to beat myself up about not getting it all done the day before because I was really able to go for it yesterday. AND, I threw in a couple more things I had been wanting/needing to do. Also, knuckles still un-cracked. It's HARDDDDDD! And even though I really really wanted to just give em' a good crack last night (you guys would never know), I didn't. So that has been feeling like a good challenge.

Today, I pick up Miles from school around 2 and have some errands to run before that. I'm thinking that my challenge for today should involve the dog, since he didn't get his usual morning walk this morning. So today, I am going to break out my brand new roller skates and skate down the street with my pup. EEEEK!! I'm scared. Haven't skated in ages and certainly haven't skated on uneven ground, but what they hay! I'm just gonna go for it and see how it goes. Wish me luck!
