Well, there's been a few instances of "do it now, because you never know," in my life... so that is very influencing. Also, I have a couple of friends who are work a holics and I see what it does to their relationships. I know my limits! My DH is lucky in that he has a very good job where he can be flexible... once he was established there as a good executive, he pretty much does what he wants, if he can. I was always stressed and busy when I was in my thirties and forties, with my job, kids, teaching at the gym. At one point, I was teaching high school, teaching 7 aerobics classes a week, teaching 1st grade religious school on Sunday, and on the board of the JCC. No wonder I weighed 92 pounds and was always sick with asthma... I am much healthier now.

My thirties and forties were similar, although I went in the opposite direction weight wise. Too busy to workout or eat right, on-call 24/7, never ending stress, I ended up with awful joint issues and wicked allergies (popped up all of a sudden). Four years ago (at age 46) I just stopped, all of it; quit my job and moved over to a civil service job where I work 37.5 hours a week, and now I can go to the gym and eat much, much better! I'm thinking my fifties will be my best years ever.

After Hurricane Katrina, some of the animals at the local zoo (Audubon Zoo) were out of sorts because they didn't have any visitors. The National Guard troops that were camped in the adjacent park were encouraged to visit, do their PT runs through the zoo, which helped lift the spirits of both humans and animals.

Went and test rode an old Schwinn Breeze today after work. It's a 1969 or 1970 model that rode beautifully! Needs a little clean up of the chrome, but that Sturmey-Archer hub ticks along like it's new.

It's just POURING today... and I am soooo tired from my OR rotation. I geel really good about it, though. I got to 'man' the machines for a couple cases (with a lot of guidance) and the techs said they were impressed with my progress. That's a pretty big deal considering who was giving me the props.
Finished out my day fishing stones out of someone's kidney. It was one of those things that's really strange and surreal. They actually glistened and shimmered like cut glass or polished amber. I said "Wow, it's like we're panning for gold!" to my tech. She laughed and said "Nephronuggets!" We had a good giggle.
