Day 7 had arrived-
could we say terrific Tuesday, unfortunately not, as the world is well aware
,women go through a very special cycle every month and this can and will affect
your mood. Cravings galore and can even bring severe pain to some, I am the
fucking latter. So my aunty with her Red Merc is currently visiting, because of
this my day did not start well, being sleep deprived because of pain is never
fun.
Traffic on the way
to work was exceptionally slow, so by the time I reached the office my BS
tolerance meter was already cranked to max volume, just to get there and not
have any parking. Why did this send me barrelling over the edge, well simply
put, when you pay for something you expect it! We pay for additional parking at
the Protea Hotel and over the course of the last 3 months I’ve been living in
Cape Town, they have had several conferences. Each time they have a conference,
they don’t compensate for additional parking allowances and NEVER EVER ensure
that their paying regular customers are taken care of!
In the words of
Peter Griffin(Family Guy) “ You know what really grinds my gears…” Well this
shit is what grinds my gears. After a 15min battle with the parking security I
finally managed to squeeze Betty(My Car – Why Betty? Well she’s Black is a
beast has survived 7 Oppi’s and I love Ram Jam’s Black Betty – Bam ba lam) into
a spot – no not a parking spot just parked in such a way that the conference
goers could get out.
Sufficed to say I
was not a happy bunny when I finally got into the office and started my work
day. The day itself was very busy and to crown this madness we have some
internal politics that’s been ongoing and was starting to negatively impact my
personal relationship with a close friend. This is not something I wish on
anyone and all I can say is that communication is always key. If ever you think
something may be misinterpreted or taken personally. Just speak up and clear
the air.
The day was so
HEKATE that I didn’t even feel hungry so unfortunately I didn’t have my regular
snacking and meals.
I did however go to
gym, arriving at the gym a tad late as I had waited patiently for a colleague
to come and collect their car keys – who never did. The pool was full of kids
doing their lesson, the arbitrary wait ensued. I finally got a lane and was
off, 80 laps in total. I also tried something different and incorporated
a little body board into my laps doing 10 laps legs only – boy oh boy did my
ass feel the burn! Another 10 laps were spent doing arms only and you can
definitely feel a difference in effort levels when not using both arms and
legs. Tomorrow I know I’ll be stiff. Thankfully it’s going to be a break from
swimming and I’ll be trying Pilates for the 1st time.
I couldn’t be in less
of a mood for cooking so I opted for Stir Fry, quick, healthy and delicious.
Please note people that I purely did the veg first because I was waiting on my
meat to defrost. Typically you would start with the meat first.
