I had every intention of working out yesterday morning, honest. I'm actually feeling much better. I've got a voice now, even if it is Jessica Rabbit's. My morning started off the way it usually does, made coffee, prepared breakfast and lunches, got dressed and let Shorty out.
I had just given the boys their first wake up call and went to blow my nose. As soon as I had done so my right ear popped and the room suddenly started to tilt. My mind knew that the room wasn't tilting but my body needed some convincing. So I immediately grabbed for a wall to steady myself.
It was the most strange and disconcerting feeling EVER. It was kind of like the
Casa de Magnetica at Six Flags. Luckily I was in the guest/boy's bathroom at the time, because I promptly threw up. Funny how that happens when your equilibrium is all jacked-up.
My right ear ached and I was so incredibly queasy. Nope, the workout was not an option, nor was going into work. I had drove Kohai to school since it was raining and barely made it through that ordeal, there was no way I could make it to work. So I stayed home with a heating pad, my favorite blanket and covered in pugs. I was only thinking of the lives I would save, including my own, by staying off the roads.
This morning, however, was a different story. Completely different. I was feeling great and could actually breathe through both nostrils, which is always a plus in my book. I was shrugging into my fleece jacket as I told the Hubs I was heading out. I could hear his admonishment to take it easy as I walked out the door.
It was a little chilly with all the rain we had last night so I zipped my jacket up. I was running a tad late and as I walked to the glass door of the gym, I could see that the warm up had started.
I hurriedly walked closer to the door and started to take my jacket off. Have you ever had that feeling like you've forgotten something and you just couldn't figure out what? I had that feeling. It became stronger as I took my jacket off and I felt the chill in the air.
I looked down and realized what it was I had forgotten, my bra. Yes, I forgot to put on my sports bra! How could I have forgotten that?! I couldn't workout with out my bra. I obviously needed it for support, but I also needed it to cover up the fact that I could have cut glass with my nipples! Did I mention it was a little chilly out?
I put my jacket back on and headed to the car. There wasn't any time to go home and get my bra and be back for any semblance of a workout. With a sigh I started the car and decided to fill it up and get some tea at the nearest QT.
I didn't realize how thrown I was by the whole forgetting-to-put-a-bra-on-thing until I began to walk out the door without paying for my tea. I think they would have forgave me since I do give them a lot of business. It was only a $1.19.
I pull into the driveway and make my way to the door. I could see the look of concern on the Hubs face as he looked out of the bedroom window as I walked up. As soon as I opened the door I was greeted with a concerned husband and wound-up pugs.
I told him I was fine and the reason why I was home early was that I had forgotten something very essential to my workout. He looked puzzled so I unzipped my jacket to show him. Ah, the Hubs immediately understood what it was I had forgotten. Dejectedly I told him I'd make the evening workout and started to head toward the shower.
As he left for work he gave me a kiss on the forehead, one of those looks that Desi would give Lucy after one of her adorable hair-brained schemes had gone awry, and said "You're so cute." I smiled as he walked out the door and then I thought, with or without a bra?
