Beautiful colors in the sunset last night!

David took pity on me last night and let me stay home with the monchers, not that I got to bed any earlier for whatever the reason but I did get to relax a bit.  Zac wouldnt take his cough syrup so I made him sleep in his own bed :)   and that meant I slept great!!!!  Ok, not great but better than I have all week!

Got up slowly at 4:30 with wishes of staying in bed but as I have said on many many occasions, one must not give themselves an excuse to NOT workout because than there will always be a ready excuse to not workout!

Given my big struggle with form and squats I decided to do various other versions of them to keep them in rotation without having the battle of form!  Today I did them on the smith with my feet out in front of me.  I hated them but hated them in a way that meant that they were probably good for me to do :)

The cable crossover machine was being used so I decided to try something different and opted for some incline sit ups.  They were different.  I tried doing the lying leg raises which felt great for the abs but made my lower back spasm something horrible!  Tried it for 5 reps and then gave up on them and went back to the incline situps.

 

Things went well and smoothly this morning with surgeries and walkins and such.  It was after one before we were done but everything turned out good so I will not complain.   I really could have gone for a nap but no so such luck.  Thank goodness tomorrow is saturday and with any luck I can sleep in and take a nap!

The afternoon was double booked but has turned out to not be so bad and I am thankful for that.  We have had clients bring us an endless supply of very yummy stuff and I really need them to stop :)

A very cute little bouquet from the Veterans!

Zac is kind of feeling better.  The flu part is gone but now he has this dreadful cough :(   But he did get some awesome little gifts from a christian comic book author that I supported via kickstarter.    He will also be in the next comic book as a character!

No big plans, or small plans, for the weekend.  Rest, rest and more rest!!  I might take a run to Tucson to pick up a little french bulldog pup.  Yes, I know, I dont need another dog but one of my race horse clients cant pay his bill and needs me to do work for him during the horse races and so his frenchies had babies and I get one so that I can work on his horses :)   Heck, if one has 5 dogs, whats one more?
