Day 5: R&R

     Although I had a lot on my agenda for today, I took a casual approach.  If I'm taking the day off to get organized and destress so I don't bring bad joo-joo from one job to the next, I might as well make the most of it.  I slept in till 0800 and didn't get out of bed until 0900.  It was nice to be able to slowly wake up, not worry about being anywhere or how to avoid your doctor's wrath.  I watched the last episode of GoT season 1 (season two comes out soon!!) and cuddled with my puppy.  I made myself a nice breakfast and read the recent Bragg Newspaper.  Then I cleaned the kitchen, I did dishes, wiped the counters, swept and mopped the floor and I even cleaned the table top!  I tidied up the bedroom and office.  I also touched up the paint around the fireplace!  All I have to do to finish up the fireplace is pick up a small thing of white paint to touch up the trim and it will be finished!  After being so productive I wanted to have some fun, so I hopped on SWTOR for an hour.  Around 12:00 I started getting ready for the gym, no better time to work on my fitness goals then my fun day.  I arrived around 13:00 and didn't leave until 15:00!! I defintely lost track of time.    
     For cardio I ran as planned, I was surprised by my endurance, I didn't feel as overworked as I normally do when running.  I lifted legs, back and a few arm exercises just to maintain their definition.  When that was done I took a quick rinse in the provided showers and relaxed in the whirlpool for 20 minutes!  There was a familiar face in the sauna, someone I've seen at the gym before, but couldn't place her anywhere else.  Turns out she is a bartender and Jumpers, a local bar/pool house near post.  Now I remember seeing her there when Mitchell, Cody and I went back in August when I first moved down to Fayetteville.  That was one of my first small town "hey I know you" moments I've had here.
     On my way home I stopped by Walmart and bought a few groceries and a spatula!!  Its hard to cook most things if you don't have one!  I broke our plastic spatula when making breakfast last week and hadn't gotten the chance to replace it.  With said spatula I made a yummy asiago tortellini dinner!  Speaking of food, I'm convinced my puppy is getting fat, which is probably just his fluffy fur, but I still think he needs to run around outside more.  When I finished my dinner I ran about in the back yard with him until he was so tired he practically fell asleep on porch.
   I hopped back on to SWTOR and leveled my BH to 15.  I stole my own ship so now I can do space battles and travel to distant lands!!  During my SWTOR time Mitchell called!!  It was so good to get to talk to him, even if it was only for 7 minutes.  I've been really spoiled getting to text him, but there are only so many things you can convey through text and I was missing his voice something fierce.   After we finished our conversation I went back to playing SWTOR.  Now I'm looking at studying Pediatric Nursing a bit to prep for my first day of a new job!  I'm nervous but mostly excited!  I know there is a lot I need to learn to be my best in this specialty but I know my coworkers will be patient and helpful, AMAZING!

SWTOR Set up!
