A lot of water...A lot of air!

It's Monday. It's raining. It's cold. yay. Time for me to get up early and head to the pool for water aerobics. I did not want to go. And when my ride was late, I talked myself out of canceling about 5 times! It went like this:
I want to stay home.
But what would you do?
Go back to bed.
But you said you'd start getting up earlier to keep your new sleep schedule.
But it's raining and cold out.
You'll get wet in the pool anyway.
But I don't feel like it.
The apartment is empty. Do you really want to stay there?
no...
Then go to the pool!
So I went. It felt wonderful to be back in the water. I stretched a lot for about 15 minutes before class began and then I jumped into class with everything I had. Came out and didn't feel quite as tight as I have been, so that was good. My knees are a little rubbery and they do hurt, but it's been a lot worse than this. It's a plus, for sure.
Came home and headed for the coffee! So hungry and so in need of caffeine! I had just toasted my English muffin and had the peanut butter ready when there was a knock on the door. I never get a knock on the door! Who is it? Maintenance! We're here to install your air conditioner!
YAY!
Took them less than 30 minutes to get it installed and working. They are coming back in about an hour to fill in all around the unit with plexiglass so that little bugs can't get through anything and so I can keep it up all winter. And it looks so nice! So if summer weather ever really does arrive, I can smile and breathe.
Not bad for a Monday. I've had rougher ones, for sure. How's your Monday going?

I'm glad you went to the pool, and very happy the air conditioner finally got taken care of.
My Monday got off to a great start. In the pool by 5 AM. Then a morning nap when I got home. The workout in the pool always seems to do that to me. I'll be sitting here doing my prayer time, and my eyes are closing. So now a couple hours later, I'm here and doing my notifications. It's a good day.

Yes, the pool is knocking me out, too, but I had to stay awake while the a/c was being installed and now I have to get dinner, so I guess I'll be putting toothpicks in until bedtime! How on earth do you get to the pool by 5am? You are amazing!

Sounds a great Monday already.
Glad they finally showed up for the air conditioner Claudia.
And I know you feel better for getting out of the apartment and swimming. Yay

A man came over to me just prior to class starting, and he was talking to me about how I like the class. I told him how I almost canceled out and he said that it's so hard for all of us to get motivated to get there and do the work, but how great it was that I'd done it. He helped me pat myself on the back for continuing to push ahead with my health. And now that I know I can keep cool this summer, I'm very much relieved!

My Monday is quiet and coming to an end. We had a thunderstorm this afternoon. Sometimes it really feels better to get motivated when you want to just stay in bed.
