Today turned out to be so different than I planned. I mentioned how pooped I was. Well, I ended up doing everything I could to make up for it, apparently.

It started off with my not waking up until quarter to nine this morning. That is really late for me. I tend not to be the kind of person who sleeps late. When I finally woke up, the bed was empty with Ray, Belle, and Jolie having already headed downstairs to get their day started.

Once I was up, I went downstairs and did my bike ride. I did my usual reading of the paper. The annoying thing I am finding is that for some reason Meet the Press is running an hour earlier than usual. I am not sure if it is because of the temporary moderator's demands, but I prefer it when it is on at 10am.

I went upstairs to do my weight training before settling down with the crossword puzzles for the day. While doing that, I started watching a little TV ... well, actually DVDs. I ended up doing a marathong of Queer As Folk.

I sorta got into it because one of the girls Ray works with borrowed them and it got me wanting to watch them again. Anyway, I planned to just watch them long enough to finish the puzzles.

That was sort of a must because I had a few things I really needed to get done today. I had planned to write a press release for my campaign and I wanted to work a little bit on the class I am teaching in the fall, but that did not happen.

I want to blame the nasty headache I ended up getting. I think it sort of partially explains the whole tiredness thing because I really think I am getting a sinus infection. I haven't gotten one in a while so I can't really complain. I tend to get them pretty regularaly in response to my allergies.

Anyway, I ended up spending the whole day relaxing on the couch with the pups sleeping around me as I watched TV rather than being at all productive. The good news is I feel a lot more rested!
