Happy Again
So my entry yesterday was kind of morose. In fact since about Sunday morning I had been feeling crappy and almost depressed. I really hate flying out on Sundays, it makes the day really short and I feel like I am constantly missing out on stuff. On Sunday for example we went to Fort Collins (which is where Matt's family lives) and I felt like I had to leave the minute I got there. In addition to that I have such a good time hanging out with Matt that it makes me really sad when I have to leave. So of course that is kind of a vicious cycle because then on Sundays I am sad and have a crappy time and I am not fun to be around. It is so bad!
So yesterday when I found out that this coming Monday, which is Columbus Day, is a holiday for our client, I was SO HAPPY. I had a flight out Sunday night which I was dreading but because of the holiday, I changed it to Monday night! This is great for so many reasons. Because I'm leaving Monday night now, I was able to get an appointment with my physical therapist on Monday. Unless the Broncos have a bye or are playing on Monday night (something I should check), I will actually be able to watch an entire Broncos game. And I will have a happy Sunday because I will have a whole day to have fun, hang out with Matt, and NOT get on a plane! Oh I am so happy.
Since I am not running, last night I went to a yoga class which was fine. I may be able to swing one more day of my introductory one week yoga membership out here which would be cool, so I'll try to go again Wednesday night. This morning I began using my trial membership to the New York Sports Club in town. That place is really nice, all the cardio equipment has LCD screens where you can watch TV, listen to CD's, and maybe some other stuff. I did the elliptical trainer for 65 minutes with 5 minutes in the middle at a fairly high level of effort. Then I briefly lifted weights and took a short steam. I will probably join unless it is over $100 a month so that I can work out and possibly even stay in decent shape while I'm injured. Also during the winter it might just be a nice place to belong for treadmill running when it's really cold and for lifting weights, which is something that I hate but will do if I'm at a gym.
Tonight I will be heading into Manhattan which should be a fun adventure. So things are looking up!

I _hope_ NYSC is less than $100 a month, but who knows... I think it was $80+ when I was a member back in 2000. It's so nice living in the boonies now!
I'm glad to hear that you're feeling better. Enjoy the holiday!
