Run Run Run

Mondays have a way of working themselves out. You always have so much scheduled for Mondays that just getting through them seems like the greatest task. I actually got to work by 9 in the morning and saw that I was set to attend about 4 hours of meetings today. I also had two interview calls I had to make.

One of the interviewees was very fun to talk to. In fact during the interview there was loud music cranked up and he had to yell at his roommates to turn it down several times during the interview. I was just laughing to myself each time this happened. I thought it was kind of funny since most people are really stiff during the interview and this guy was really really cool. He took the whole thing really casually and actually asked me questions about why I liked my job. He seemed like a person who put quality of life really high up there and so I ended up describing to him the view from my office room. He sounded like a very outdoorsy kind of guy. This was the only respite from my Monday rush.

I continued on after talking to him to my next meeting which I was late for. I had already sent an email informing that I was going to be late from the interview. After getting done with the set of meetings I came back to my room to think for a second. I seemed like I was going to all these meetings that I didn’t have any particular mid set on what I was going to do today. Well, it was almost time to go home after I was done. While I was thinking about that another person came in and asked for help to try to figure something out. This took almost an hour by which I time I said my excuses and left work. I went straight home and go my gym clothes on and went on to the gym. The nutritionist that I had an appointment with went on and on about what we needed to accomplish in the next month. The trainer then showed my group of what things we were going to be doing in the next month. After about 2 hours of introductions to what we were planning on doing, we finally left without doing anything at all. But since I didn’t nap in the evening I felt like I was going to fall any moment and nap on the floor. That was the amount of energy that I had left.

I drove home. Picked up some food on the way. Sat and ate my dinner, tuna salad with bread, while I watched what I had recorded from Sunday evening. Then I realized that my fishes were not being very good eaters and that a lot of food had been left over. This was causing the water to be really foul. So I decided that I had to change the water. By the time I was done with that, I had no more energy left in me. I just sat there looking at the fishes swim by. Looking at the fishes swim always takes me to a “calm nothingness”. I am not worrying about anything; I have no thoughts, other than when my fish would give birth next. It’s just a simply pleasure of watching the fishes swim. Then my shoulder hurts and I decided that I should probably go to bed. I check email for the last time and then put some music on. I am listening to some Latin music, but after a while it stops and I am still thinking about nothing particular. I can't remember now what it was, but I think it had something to do with how much I needed to workout more in order to stay in shape.
