Workout Quota for the day: Complete!

Long story (my favourite kind!!): I took Da Doll to Assunta to visit my dad. He checked himself in yesterday, and since her school's a short distance away from the hospital, I decided to just swing by lah.

Dad looks a bit frail, but I think that's the emetic.

Anyway, after dropping Da Doll off, I sent my car to the mechanic for a servicing. You know, standard oil change, battery check, brakes and stuff. I hope to get the car back by today, so I can drop it off for tyre balancing/alignment tomorrow. I've gotta catch my cousin's wedding this weekend, so the car's gotta be in good shape. Friday I'll send it for a wash :) Hehe.

My car is going to look better than me, I can tell you that.

Anyway, the mechanic is an old friend of my dad's, and he offered to send me home. I told him it was okay, that I'd take the cab back. I walked up to the main road, and decided: Heck with it. I might as well forget about going to the gym today, and just consider the walk home my cardio.

My mechanic is maybe about 3km away from my home. No big, as the crow flies. Too bad I ain't got wings, mutha!!! So yeah, I decided to hoof it. Stuck to the treeline. I'm not really insane, just maybe a bit whacked. It's really hot out, ya know? But the sky was nice and cloudy, not all that hazy (fairly clear, in fact!) and a lovely breeze kept me company all the way.

But oi. Walking about at 12:30 in the afternoon is still hot work lah. I think I got discouraged halfway through my journey, so I swung by the Maju Curry House for an isotonic. From there (the old MPPJ pool), the going was easier lah.

It occured to me that the difference between a walk on my crossramp and the one I just took is temperature control. And entertainment. Sure wish I had my iPod with me *sighs wistfully*...

Anyway, I'm home now and I've got two beautiful blisters blooming on the pads of my feet. The home stretch was tree-free, so am still a little light-headed. Chat friends will attest to my more-inane-than-usual chatter I think. I need a nice cold glass of water, vitagen, and 40 minutes horizontal.

Can't though. Student's here, contractors have arrived. Poop.
