MMM SLEEP IN!

I thought that I would share a typical 4-day break of mine. For those people out there who don’t know I work 4 days on 4 days off. Yeah it’s a hard life at times but working 12 hr days does have its shortcomings as well. Anyways I will start with Monday.

Monday was the first day of my 4-day break so sleeping in was on the agenda and during winter that is heaven! But someone let the dogs in and not having closed my door properly I was awakened by Shiraz (Raz for short) who decided to jump on a sensitive part of the body. A painful start to the day! Being my intended "slack day" I nonetheless did my washing and watched several DVD’s. For memory I watched X-files, Buffy and some basketball. Pretty casual day and the only way to beat Mondayitis!

Tuesday, now this was the first day back at the gym for some time and I must say I did go hard. It was legs and Biceps exercises and those areas definitely got a hammering, including my bank account with the amount of bills I have received and still am (no big nights out for some time). Anyways once again recovery was spent watching more DVD’s and doing some reading.

Wednesday, well this was pretty much the same as Tuesday BUT now I got to exercise my chest and my triceps. Once again the old DVD player got a damn good workout in between ironing (anyone that loves ironing and wants to do mine, please feel free).

Thursday, last day of my break (bugger) and also the day where I felt like a speed hump after the previous 2 days, more ironing and some food shopping. Thursday is also Salsa night at The Deen so I was looking forward to that. I once again ventured to level C and this time we had a new instructor and didn’t have to swap partners every 10 seconds, which was great.

I partnered up with Liz and we had fun trying to master the moves while making fun of all the drunk old guys trying to learn the basics, if only I had camera with me at the time!

In conclusion a pretty average break, nothing to exciting (by my standards) but it sure beat being at work!
