What happened to our road show business?

Whomp, the sub prime mortgage mess hits, and all our private equity guys disappear. Does that mean the financing dried up? I haven't seen any analysts lately, either. The analysts come out to give the big financial institutions the scoop on whatever their sector is; say software, metals, whatever people are invested in. Our business sucks, maybe partly due to crappy winter weather. Maybe the first thing to go, to cut costs, is the car service.

Just did today's exercise:
Yoga
Mini-trampoline
Treadmill

One more cup of tea for the road

Ugh, one of the NOT perks of my job is leaving the house at in insane hour on Monday mornings. I keep the Cadillac at home Monday through Friday. But on the weekends I bring my own car home. Vinnie kindly gives me starting trips near my house, which is 30 miles from the freaking office where I have to pick up the Cadillac. He always forgets that I don't have the car at home on Mondays. I have a 6:30 pickup today. Which is bad enough, but I have to leave my house at 4:30 for a ride 10 minutes from my house because I have to go get the( %*#)_@ car. Grumble done.

It's 3:15 in the morning. One more cup of tea. Then one hour of working out. Fifteen minutes to shower and do my hair. Today's workout will be: 10 minutes mini-trampoline. 20 minutes treadmill. 30 minutes aerobic ball workout. My leg and back are much better. I saw a sports medicine doctor. After two months of two to three times a week at the chiropractor doing nothing at all to help, the sports medicine doctor gave me Prednisone. After 6 days on the medication I have no more pain. I feel great. Counting my blessings today. I am thrilled that I have the good health and ability to pound my workouts. Yes, in counting my blessings, I am grateful to the universe that my life is so full of goodness.
