Life on the Road

Why didn’t something get done?

Is that a REASON, or an EXCUSE?  Where is the dividing line - and does it even matter?

Philosophical diversion for the day. 

For example, I’m trying to get more exercise. 

The weather here is so fickle that I don’t dare plan on going out - one day it’s 85 and so humid you’d pass out out there, the next day it’s thunderstorms and tornadoes.

Wolf found the boxes of VHS tapes in the storage stuff, and I dug out my good old “Denise Austin Pregnancy Plus Workout” tape.  I even went through it Tuesday morning - at 5 am!

Yesterday morning, Jewel woke up at 5 am.  She wouldn’t go back to sleep, and basically wouldn’t get out of my lap…  What do you do with that?

This morning I woke up with a fierce headache that’s threatening to turn into a migraine.  Definately not something that cries out to be bounced and jostled around.

So I’m 1 for 3 days with working out since I got the tape out and decided to do it.  And while every other day is really a perfectly acceptable and realistic goal, I had certainly planned to go through that workout yesterday and today…

Those are really good reasons not to have worked out on a particular day. 

But isn’t there always a good reason? 

Isn’t it sometimes still just an excuse?
