It is one of those tuesday mornings after my long weekend where I just DO NOT want to get out of bed, get my stuff together and get to the gym. Every excuse in the book is running through my head, but (asides the one deal breaker, not finding my flip flops) I will persevere and work out for an hour. Even if I go to work in a not so chipper mood, I'm always happy about tracking by 6. Okay, maybe 6:30, it gives me time to warmed up.

On Friday I spent most of the day in court for two of my clients. It is a world of difference from mock trial, that is for darn sure. First of all nobody dresses up, even the attorneys, one was wearing red patten leather platform shoes. I almost had a heart attack. The clients were even worse. A sweat suit to court???? Its also just downright scary in there. My first client got yelled at and almost taken away. I had to wait hours upon hours for the second one to get seen. Thank goodness I brought snacks and a book or else I would have been crawling up the walls. I saw someone have their kids taken away too, that was sad. Overall it made me thankful for a couple of things, one that I Never got into trouble in high school and two, that I didn't go to law school. I'm much happier working "in the trenches" doing hands on work, trying to keep these kids away from lawyers.

That evening Patrick and I decided to go on a date. Being that we are the absolute cheap skates that we are, we went to Blaze on Thayer because we had gift cards. This is the second time we went and I was completely unimpressed with it the first time around. The service was awful and the food was...ehhh. This time? the service was awful and the fajitas, I could have made better at home. But we had a nice date night and at least it is finally warm enough to walk down to Thayer instead of drive.

Sunday I went up to Boston to help Michelle move some stuff out of her dorm for the summer. She's going to be done with classes in a couple of weeks! Its absurd how early she gets out for the year. I finally got my Wooly Monster back. She has had it since at least October because I brought it up to her one day when she was sick. It might be too warm to really need it, but its nice to have it back. I love it and I don't care what anybody says about it. I'm going to keep it forever.
