DAY 71 OF 365: JUST ANOTHER MANIC MONDAY

So today was one of those days that no matter what I did, I just couldn’t catch up. From the moment my alarm went off this morning to the second I walked in the door tonight, I never stopped moving. My workout this morning was great. I am starting to get used to waking up early and hitting the gym before work. Now don’t get me wrong, I don’t pop out of bed like a jack in the box when my alarm goes off. No sir, it is a fight to get myself out of my warm comfortable bed. But little by little, I am starting to get better at those early morning rises. The workout this morning was upper body concentrating on biceps, triceps and shoulders. A lot of free weights and strength training. We also did some work on the core and abs before calling it a session and heading into the office.
I had to hurry back to the office to prepare for the Law and Order: Special Victims Unit production meeting that I had for Episode 22. Hard to believe that there are only 2 episodes left before we wrap season 12. But time flies. From that meeting I ran back to the office to work on The Big C and The Rememberer. I am pretty sure that there was a moment that I fell asleep sitting upward staring at my computer. I bet that if you tapped me I would have fallen over. But, my phone rang and I snapped out of it.
The best part of the day is when I was finally able to sit down and enjoy my leftover healthy Sloppy Joes that I made last night. I took organic ground turkey, and browned it. I sautéed some fresh tomatoes down to a nice paste and added that to the browned ground turkey along with diced green peppers, onions and celery. Added some water and let it simmer for 20 minutes. Brought back memories of having Sloppy Joes as a kid. Comfort food at it’s best. I was hoping to try some other recipes this past weekend, but time got away from me. So hopefully this weekend I will have a chance to try them out.
I will leave you with this funny story. So as you know I had my new alarm system installed in my condo. I set it last night when I got home from my friends Bill and Ruxy’s house and I must have passed out on the couch. I was exhausted from a long day and after a couple of hours my cell phone ringing startled me. So I groggily woke up and answered the phone. Then I decided to take out the trash before heading to bed. Forgetting that I had set the alarm, I opened the door and BAM, the alarm goes off. I was out of it and started to freak out. This alarm is loud and I was tired and it was late and I was holding a bag of trash in a t-shirt and shorts. Quite the site. God help my neighbors if they witnessed this. But good to know the alarm works.  Well off to bed. Another busy day tomorrow.
