Where is my money maker? WHERE?
I am so tired this morning.
Last night at 10 I felt like I'd hit a brick wall, so I went directly to bed, and now my legs still hurt, my head is fuzzy and I am exhausted.
If I am coming down with anything, I know I will get better shortly because we are halving the amount of my steroid immunosuppressant, starting today. Unfortunately, one of the side effects of a steroid taper is fatigue and nausea...last time I also experienced cramping in my joints. So...I will not feel sick due to sickness, I will feel sick due to temporary cortisol deficiency. Which will be worse? Hmm.
I'm pretty sure my legs hurt from my belly dancing yesterday---I realized during the stretching portion of the video that it was not going to go well for me. Even though I stretch and work out regularly, belly dancing is all in the legs...you use the balls of your feet to shift your weight, which works your legs and subsequently your hips. It uses different muscle groups than traditional workouts, which are not fluid and graceful and seldom do much isolating and jiggling very quickly. Part of the problem is that I am about 30 pounds skinnier than the girls on the tape. (Substantial women---if you are looking for an exercise routine that will make you feel sexy and not out of shape, I recommend belly dancing! Having a belly is actually helpful.) I do not have hips so much as I have bony coat hanger like structures on either side of my outer thighs...if I want to jiggle I have to really put some effort into it. Where they can click-boom, I need to SHOVE-boom. NOT sexy. A good workout, but totally not sexy at this point. I also learned that I don't need huge breasts to do the upper body stuff, I just need a really kick-ass push up bra. I'm not sure where mine is. I think Jerome carried it off last time she took a nap in the laundry basket. Damn cat.
Now I will go spend the day trying to catch up with whatever files my boss spread all over my desk while I was gone yesterday, and tonight we are having my grandma over for her birthday. I think it will be fun, although I hope no one objects to me hosting in pajamas.

You might have to dance for me for a few moments when I see you next. And congrats on the 'roid lessening!
No, I do not even dance for Garv. I make him lock himself in the office with the dog while I painfully shuffle across the floor with the curtains drawn.
You are a smart, vital woman, Stepho. I think your husband would be nothing but supportive if you let him watch you.
On an entirely different note, do you think women should be offered free firearms safety training courses and vouchers for handguns?

But, I'm Joe C!
