Second Monday down, 5 to go... We are now on the down time Tuesday. My butt hurts... Nothing else, just my butt... Clarify... The sides of my butt hurt... *sigh*...

We had a wonderful tornado drill Monday. I have to say I am very grateful I don't work on the 11th floor. The drill sounded just as I got on the phone to our sister company to discuss a claim. So I manage to get out of my chair, and head down the stairs for the drill. This wasn't just down to the 2nd floor, this was all the way down to the lobby. Well, not exactly the lobby... I mean I wouldn't want to be in the lobby if a tornado struck. Hell, I wouldn't want to be in the AREA if a tornado struck. I'd rather be in Buffalo, NY. I've never experienced even a tornado drill growing up there. I know lake effect. I know snow... Tornadoes are a different sort of crap.

Anywho... I waited for Ms. Peppy to go down stairs. From the 7th, to the 6th, to the 5th we go. Slowly... very slowly. I can do slow. I swear Ms. Peppy would have sprinted down the stairs because she had that much energy. I believe, correct me if I'm wrong, the only reason she didn't do this was that there were people in front of her. I don't know... I'm just sayin'.

By the time we got back upstairs (by use of elevator... *grin*) it was time to go to class. Geez, louise!!! Ok.. I grabbed my stuff and over to Ms. Peppy's desk... She's not there. Uh huh... She so wanted to step out on an errand... Uh huh... I'm thinking if she misses class, I'm really going to blog about her. So, I headed down... alone... by myself... she's gonna get it. I got to the locker room and started changing and who should appear... yeah, her... she made it and now I can't blog about her... Yeah, watch me.

I guess I waited too long in the locker room because when we came out, everyone was gone. Apparently, they went up to 6 and down again. Damn, missed the stairs... Oh, well... I went down them earlier. That should count for something. It just made me on time for doing heel lifts at the wall and then 200 lunges... UGH! I'm sweating already...

We were to get mats and free weights today. Ok.. I can handle that. We started out with arm work... I'm not so sure anymore... I just know my arms flail all over the place. Then went on to leg stuff... Grrrr... kick out to the front, balance on one leg, and raise your arm. Not at the same time, but still... I'm lucky I have somewhat balance on TWO feet. One foot is a new trick for this old squirrel (yeah, I know the phrase says dog... but I'm not a dog, I'm a squirrel. Neah, so there)..

Sweat, sweat, sweat.. I'm glad I brought a towel today.. Even Ms. Peppy was having a bit of difficulty... HA, That should kill some of that pep... *grin*... Ms. Perky wasn't letting up on the class either... Two days off, I was feeling better... Of course. A personal motivation for Ms. Perky to work out is her upcoming wedding, I'm sure. Oh, hell yeah she wants to look great! Who wouldn't! She does already, but then she's really into this pain thing. No, not her pain, the pain of others. She works us hard. She thinks it's a cake walk. I really don't think she sweats... Ever...

After doing lunges with the weights and without, down on the mat, then up, then lunges, arm stuff with the weights, then down on the mat, with crunches, then lifting the legs and doing crunches, then twirling on your head, and... and... I'm just going to crawl into a corner and die. The fans in the studio are all on... I think two ceiling fans and two regular fans.. All on high... I'm wishing they were all pointed at me.

We finally do stretches... Ahhhh.. I can do those! And I liked it!! Uh... Clarify... I liked the stretching...

Then you relax for a day and forget what the day brought!

Wednesday’s class.... WAS CANCELED!!! WOO HOOO!! Oops, Sorry Ms. Perky... (shhhhh - wooo hooo...)...

More Friday...
