Shot!

Today was the first day that I regret having made the decision to move my office back to my home. I had an 11:30 conference call.Susan had a dog scheduled for grooming at the same time. As my call started so did the cacophony that often accompanies a grooming customer out of the house. My 3 dogs started barking the minute I got on the phone and did not stop until the house guest left an hour and a half later.Then there was the whirring of the clippers followed by the running water of the bath immediately followed by the insidious noise of the dryer . If that was not enough to try the patience of a saint, our African grey decided she needed to start screaming as well..Barking, howling ,screeching, blowing.....it was maddening!
By the time our 4 legged friend left,I was completely beside myself.My concentration level had been tested and my energy drained.I suppose if the other aspects of my life were less stressful, I may have tolerated this irritation a little better. On top of my already fragile state of being, my nerves were just not up to the challenges that today had in store for me.
By 1 p.m. ,I had lost my focus. It then took me another 3 hours to regroup enough to salvage what could have become a complete waste of a day.
By the time 5 o'clock rolled around, I was completely drained. That would normally be okay were it not for the fact that I had a 6 p.m. training session.Of course today was the day that my new trainer,Mario,thought it was time to shake things up.
Since my very first workout with a trainer, I have never quit during a session. In fact,more times than not, my trainers have been pleasantly surprised with my stamina and ability to take all that they could dish out.Today I came close.By the time I was done,I could barely talk,walk and literally staggered out to my car. I had a stop to make at Home Depot before heading home. My legs were shaking and I was fairly unsteady as I walked the aisles.I plopped back in the car (of course I was driving my son's which sits as low as a race car) and made my way home. I put some apples in the oven for baking before sitting down to clean up emails and write to you. 
And now.....I am done...finished ...kaput!
I am shot. So if you don't mind, I will just call it quits for tonight and hopefully get enough rest to start again tomorrow.....when I head back to the gym at 5:30 in the morning!
