If I do it now...

If I do this now, I can go to the gym and come back and relax without feeling like there's something left to do this evening. If I do it now, I can come back and throw in the Netflix movie that I got yesterday and just chill out on the couch for the rest of the evening. If I do it now, perhaps this pile of laundry on my bed will actually get tended to and the other pile on the floor in my hallway will actually get laundered. The "this" that I refer to here is my daily blog entry. It's that time of day where I go on and on about something or nothing at all, as I so often do.

Today was one of those days where I probably should have gone right to the gym before doing anything else. I would have faint hopes of dipping over to Club One at lunch time or maybe even in the early afternoon, but it was not to be today. Had I done that, I might really be chillin' right now. But then again, maybe I wouldn't have. I helped a customer from Chile for 8 hours straight and then another guy from Australia started to chime in around 5pm. That's what happens when you have a timezone difference. No one shares your motivation for lunch breaks or close of business when their day starts 3 hours or 17 hours ahead of yours. I didn't make as much progress as I would've liked to, but at least there's a plan for tomorrow.

I'm slightly distracted as I write, listening to Nolan Ryan speak on his Rangers and watching Derek Jeter punch one into right-center for an RBI double after fouling off the previous 4 pitches. If I don't hurry up, my stomach will become a serious distraction. I had a bowl of oatmeal and an egg salad sandwich today, but I could surely eat again right now. Hopefully, I'll have just enough in the tank to get through a fairly decent workout. I'm thinking that baked chicken, some rice and some steamed brocolli will be on the menu tonight. I'd like to do something more spectacular, but I neither have the ingredients nor the patience to do much beyond that tonight.

I'm kind of excited. I'll actually get to watch Casino Royale in its entirety tonight. Keep your fingers crossed for me. Okay, wait. One last thought before I round up my gym clothes. Ruby Tuesday has a commercial (i know, i know...) that talks about how they mistakenly blew up some other restaurant in Mt. Holly, Ohio. Is that that for real, or just an attempt to garner some publicity by making me Google or YouTube that? They'd probably really like it if I went to their website to check it out. There's not much danger of me doing that. There's probably not even such a place as Mt. Holly, Ohio. Until tomorrow...
