Adina’s Cute & Perky Blog!

So we made it through the storm this weekend.  Trees were down all around us, debris everywhere, and wind like I have never seen.  But my people were safe, and that is all that matters.

We did have about 36 hours without electricity.  It’s funny how life changes in an instant.

You start thinking of thing you can do to fill your time, only you can’t do any of them.

Like, “Oh I know, I’ll get caught up on my E-mail.”  Can’t do that!

Or…”This would be a good time to get caught up on those movies I’ve been meaning to watch.”  And the Rocket Scientist within me reminds me that I can’t!

But the funniest thing we all kept doing was flicking the switches.  All day long, any time a room was entered or exited a switch was flicked.  When I went to bed, and the house was completely void of all light, I flicked off that switch as I climbed into the bed.

But of course, that’s because it’s a rote skill.  I don’t have to think about it, I just do it.

And I have learned to make living a healthy lifestyle this way.

Every night, I do the things necessary to ensure that going to the gym is just going to happen.

It’s like flicking a switch, y’all.  It’s that simple.

I pack my cooler.

I make my shakes.

I lay out my gym clothes.

And when the next day comes, it’s as simple as flicking a switch!

I eat from my cooler.  SWITCH!

I dress from my gym gag.  SWITCH!

I post my Blog.  SWITCH!

It’s as simple as that.  I don’t even have to think about it anymore.  I put all of those things in my rote memory, and I just do them.

But even when the lights went out, I still lived the lifestyle!  I read Muscular Development and handwrote my Blog by the light of the kerosene lamp.  It may have been dark, but by golly that switch still lit for me!
