Sluggish Today

Felt great yesterday, was VERY active and now, whomp...tired and sluggish.  Yet, I found myself chair dancing today while at work.  I still am in a good mood, but just subdued.  I had trouble getting moving, was going to heat up pasta for Helen for lunch, but I felt so tired, I had them make peanut butter and jelly.  I promised Helen, I'd make sure she has pasta tomorrow; guess it is early to bed for me tonight. 

Of course, it doesn't help that I am reading a good book (actually 6 good books).  I was able to purchase the first 6 of the Samantha Moon mysteries by J.R. Rain, for $2.99 and all 6 downloaded onto my nook as one 2250 page book.  I can't put them down!  I am on page 640 since Saturday evening.  It is an easy read, well written characters, and some secrets yet to be revealed. 

I wanted to also relay an experience I had with the Striiv company.  Striiv is the company that made my pedometer with the video game and donations to charity.  I have dropped my Striiv and it has been very durable; I guess dropping it down a flight of stairs, screen first, exceeds the Striiv's durability.  Everything works except the touch screen.  Everything, including the lock, relies on the touch screen.  Mourning the loss of my Striiv, I tried to look online and see what is out there about this problem, there was nothing.  Next step, to call the Striiv customer service line.  Not only was there someone there on a Sunday, she was polite and very helpful.  I explained to her my oops and that everything works except the touch screen.  Striiv is sending out a replacement pedometer today and I just need to send mine back. 

I was extremely impressed!!  Usually Kat is the one who is hard on electronics, this time, it was my clumsy that got the best of my Striiv.  I LOVE my Striiv!  I can't expound on the pedometer enough.  I love the stats that it keeps, the trophies and challenges that it offers, and the build my island game.  It keeps me going; in fact my 1.5 hr walk yesterday was driven by trying to get 10,000 steps and earn new trophies.  I actually walked over 15,000 steps yesterday.  It felt amazing! 

The only down side to a new Striiv is that I have to start all over again to meet my trophies and build my island, but that's ok, just more incentive to do it right this time :)

Took today off of walking, so I am ready to go at it again tomorrow.  Early to bed, good rest, and more dancing in the kitchen!
