Excuses

Please excuse Karen from writing a long, insightful entry tonight, or from posting a bunch of pretty pictures.  Her poor blog is already overloaded with too many photos for dial-up comfort, and her poor body and brain are suffering from overindulgence (in blogging and photography, mostly) and neglect.

Please excuse Karen from the cardio portion of her workout tonight, or even the long dogwalk she promised to do instead.  When she got home, Stargate SG-1 was on tv, and she didn't manage to tear herself away until Galactica came on.  Now it's too late - John doesn't like it when Karen and Tuffy go out after 10 PM, because the barking dogs wake up the neighborhood.  She'll walk the dog tomorrow, honest!

Besides, Karen really couldn't do that third set of leg presses, or move the bars back to a locked position.  Her feet were really hurting for some reason, but that wasn't why she couldn't do it. Thanks for helping her get free of the leg curl machine, where she was trapped for the second time this week, unable to work the release mechanism with her legs pressing against the pads.

Please also excuse Karen from having to use her security card to get back into the building after lunch.  She is aware that she left it behind on her desk upstairs two days in a row, and promises to have it with her at lunchtime on Monday.  Thanks for letting her back into the building, and onto the second floor.  Twice.

Karen absolutely promises to get more than 4 1/3 hours of sleep tonight, and to do better in the week ahead.

Sincerely yours,

Karen's Brain

Update: Went to bed at 3 AM, got up at 4 PM!
