In Honor of Ruby...Day One Almost Failure


Ok, I did not get to bed until around midnight last night so when the alarm went off at 5:30am for me to start my exercise program, I hit snooze until 6am. I couldn't help it, I was sooooooo tired.


I got up and got ready and knowing today is trash day I had to carry out about 4 bags. I thought if I get out there by 6:40am it will be ok because they normally don't come until between 7am-7:30am. Imagine my surprise when taking my daily pills and I hear him round the corner. I bolt out the door...punch the garage door open, grab all 4 bags in my arms and go dashing outside in my dress shoes. The bastard had already passed my house! So here I go...down our big hill and down the street chasing after him. I had no other choice! With the holidays coming up the trash had to go and setting it out at night is just not an option because the animals get in it and spread it all over the neighborhood. I had to run 2 blocks in my nice shoes, in the cold to finally catch him. I was out of breath and pretty sure I was about to have heart failure. I managed to wheeze, "You came early today." He said, "Yep." He must not have strange women chase down his truck very often...I go walking back up the street, then up the hill and hop in my car to head to work.


Ruby, whether I liked it or not I did get my exercise in today!
