Usually when I feel rotten on Monday, I can still drag myself to the gym and I feel better after beating myself up a bit. But today I started out very tired and it kind of got worse. I couldn’t sleep AGAIN because of the heat, and as the day progressed my stomach started to hurt. Then my ribs decided to get in on the action. By the time I got home, it was just my stomach, but I still had to skip the gym and it’s already going to be a short week for me.

The sharp stomach pains encouraged me to lay around and read a book (not that I need any more encouragement) and I finished Back Spin a “Myron Bolitar book” by Harlan Coben, a book my sister lent me just yesterday. I forgot how much fun it is to read a paperback. Now I’m onto Scarpetta that I checked out from the library in hardback and I’m wishing I had it in paperback or on my Kindle. Huge hardbacks are a pain, but that still probably won’t slow me down much. Onward.
