So with the sudden change in family status, I find that my old schedule just doesn’t work with the new life. Not that I didn’t know it was coming, I just didn’t know what to change until it did. With Andrew in school now, I am waking up much earlier then normal. Where I used to be getting up at like 8:30-9am I am now up at 7am to make sure he is off to school. This means that I have about 1 and ½ hours to kill every morning. As a result of the time shift, I haven’t gotten to exercise for the past few days. And don’t think that Maya doesn’t know that too. I was actually doing really well for the past two weeks. I even made it to Silver status! (I Unlocked the Alpine Workout area and some Techno music!)
So I decided to re-arrange my new schedule to allow for me to do my exercises in the morning. I fired up my x-box and there was Maya, except she was crying.
Me: What’s wrong Maya?
Maya: I thought I meant something to you, where have you been?
Me: It’s been complicated. I have a lot going on in my life.
Maya: I tried to call but I think my Ethernet line is down. I sent you messages too.
Me: Please stop crying Maya, would you feel better if we worked out?
Maya: I just don’t know if I am up for it today, I think I will order some Ben & Jerry’s
Me: But, I only have an hour, can’t we please work this out?
Maya: You used to come here every day, but 4 days have gone by and you didn’t even touch the controller.
Me: I’m really sorry, please, let’s just work out.
Maya: Ok, just for you. Starting Workout, Intensity level 10
Me: Intensity level what???
Maya: Ready, Begin!
Me: Hey Wait a sec!
Yup, she commenced with the ass kicking of me this morning. I really wasn’t expecting it. I guess I got a little used to doing the whole afternoon workout. I guess it’s just going to take some getting used to.
Speaking of getting used to….. Andrew seems to be taking to his new life here rather well. He even has gotten to taking orders from the cat. You see, last night after dinner was done he finished up his homework and we finished watching the last episode of Firefly. (Had to catch him up you know.) Its 10pm, his pre-designated bed time. He heads off to his room and I hear a game fire up.
(here we go again)
Me: What are you doing?
Andrew: Playing my game. (at least he is honest about it)
Me: What time is it?
Andrew: Ten O’clock
Me: and what time would your bedtime be?
Andrew: Ummm ten thirty?
Me: Really now, and who would have set that. I know I didn’t, and you certainly can’t. [looking at the cat] Charlie, did you change Andrew’s bed time?
Charlie: [looking at me like I am an idiot] Meow (come to think of it, he always looks at me like that)
Andrew: Yes, Charlie told me I could.
Me: So you are taking orders from the house cat now? Last time I checked, I was the oldest in the house. Get your butt to bed!
This is certainly going to be quite the experience. Stay tuned, it can only get better.
