Being the boss......

Well, I'll tell you, my life sure is different now. Work is different for me. Today I started working at 5 am. Yep, I was still laying in bed. I got up and did some more work (but I still wrote in my journal - some things are scared, you know?). Then I just went to the office. So....I left at 1! I didn't even ASK - I just told. There is a trade off, I guess. I might be needed early, but I'm the master of my own time. Don't get me wrong, I don't want to work at 5! But I knew this was coming this morning so I wasn't totally surprised.

Anyway, I came home and ran after work! And it was hard, let me tell you! There is a reason I like running in the morning. I don't have as much time to make excuses about why I couldn't possibly run. Today I was pretty sure it was going to rain (it didn't). I thought I might have a headache (I didn't). I thought I was too hungry (I wasn't). I thought I was too lazy (I wasn't!).

So I did it!

Too funny! We can always find an excuse if we want one bad enough but have to just forget that and get on the road. I have to run in the morning. Have to! If it goes to later in the day it don't get done!

Writing in your journal is "scared?" I'm still chuckling about that!

I'm glad you came home early if you started at 5 am! I learned that lesson years ago and try always to take comp time when necessary. And I don't apologize for it either.

Dang!!! I can't even blame auto correct for that! Yes.....everyone should be SCARED to break into that time!

Yeah, excuses are easy. That's why running makes me so proud of myself, if you know what I mean. And I think you do.

This is a lesson I'm just learning now. But I'm taking it to heart.
