I'm sitting here looking out of the window watching the wind whipping my "I love you black and gold" flag on its pole and thinking of how glad I was that I decided to go to the gym and get gas yesterday after all.
Especially the gas part. I knew I needed gas in the van and if I had been smart, I would have gotten it on the way home from the hospital, David had to go in for some tests, but nature was screaming and I was hungry since I hadn't eaten breakfast, so I said that I would get it later when we went to the gym.
Later came and after I took a nap because I didn't sleep well the night before, very seldom do if I know I have to get up early and was up around 5:30am, I really wasn't in the mood to go to the gym being that it was getting late. I thought that maybe we would just go to the gym today and I would get gas then. But then I started feeling guilty about putting it off; I did kept putting it off last week and we ended up only going twice. I also remembered that it was supposed to rain today, the temperature was going to drop and it was going to be windy. Three conditions I hate standing out there pumping gas in. My gas tank also spits back at me which makes it even worse. So, I sucked it up, put on my big girl panties and decided that although it was later than the time we usually go to the gym, later was better than not at all. Plus the sun was out, so that made getting gas not so bad. As it turned out, my gas tank even cooperated somewhat and although it threatened, the gas stayed in the tank. It also was nice that the price came down another six cents.
So today, I have a full tank of gas, a rare thing with my van because of the tank issue, but we also made it to the gym and I felt so much better after having a good workout.
So the moral of the story is this, don't put off putting gas in your car today because tomorrow the weather may be worse and you'll be stuck doing it then. And if the gym is part of the package, you'll be glad that you didn't put that off either.
