No Workout Today :-(
Well, I got 8 1/2 hour of sleep but not on purpose. R. woke me up at 6:32, at which point I started freaking out because I was supposed to be at work at 5:45. Being late is such a huge stressor to me. When I called the office, my government counterpart - such a sweetie - totally assuaged my panicky mood. I stopped rushing and took my time to get ready and play with our cat Ophelia, who greets me in the bathroom first thing in the morning for her daily tail pulling. Yes, tail pulling. She's a weird one who masochistically likes to have her tail pulled hard and never ceases to come back for more. Please don't call the SPCA on me.
Anyhow, since I got to work late, I wasn't able to lift and bike like I had planned. I'm kind of bummed, but I'll try to make it up over the weekend, if there's time. We have plans to meet friends for a Latin-flavored New Years dinner at Cafe Atlantico in DC. Depending on my mood, we may stick around for the dancing afterward or head back to the suburbs for game night with our friends M. and A. and their newly adopted Chinese baby (our goddaughter). I have to say that she was our best Christmas present this year, when they asked us to be her godparents. She is such an adorable, well-behaved and fun baby...and she sleeps through the night. I hope that when we have kids that they're as well adjusted from birth.
Cheers to everyone! Have a safe and Happy New Year!!
