Week 5c, Excuses?

Friday should have been Day 3, except for 2 things. One is that I got a flu shot on Friday, and I think the needle hit something it shouldn't have hit. I generally don't complain about needles. I've traveled overseas enough for work that I don't think vaccinations are that big a deal. But after this shot, I had this shooting pain that went from my shoulder right down to my elbow. Excuse number 2 for Friday is that the after work hours were packed. Get home, figure out where the kids are (school was closed), get the kids changed, get rid of the kids, get changed, and get out to dinner with my wife and some friends for our anniversary.

Well, what about Saturday? Between Matt's allergy shot, two (yes, two, 2, dos, ii) Boy Scout events, a football game, a quick run to go geocaching to get my 300th find, picking up a friend of Matt's to get some quick dinner, and a haunted hayride, I had about 30 minutes of downtime, and decided not to do push-ups. Yep, that's right. I just didn't darn well feel like it.

Today, I just plain feel like garbage. There's a cold running around, both kids are sneezing, and I think I'm fighting it.

So I'm just going to start Week 5d tomorrow evening. And then I'll prepare for next weekend's excuses. Camping Friday through Sunday with the Boy Scouts.
