changing the rules

besides my resolution/rule to run 4-5 times per week, I've made some other rules for my time off. One of the most important is to always wake up by 10 on a weekday. I want to get a good night's sleep, but not be a TOTAL worthless lazy bum! (I save that for the weekends)

Today, I broke that rule.

Of course, all that means is that I need to revise my rules!!

Rose's Revised Rules of Voluntary Unemployment

1. Wake up by 10am every week day
2. Run >3 miles 4-5 times per week
3. Do >45 minutes of yoga 1-2 times per week
4. Say "yes" to as many social invitations as possible
5. Rules 1,2 may be broken in case of extreme weather (nor'easter, hurricane)
6. Rules 1,2,3,4 may be broken in case of extreme sickness (fever >100F, other heavy illness)

Rule 6 is the new one today. I was so sick I slept until 12:15... then again from 2-5:30. I only woke up at 5:30 because I had signed up for a wine-tasting class with Thom and Kelsey, and I thought that by that time in the day rule 4 overrulled rule 6. Plus wine is DELICIOUS.

The wine actually made me feel a lot better... now I know how to get rid of fevers! I'm practically a doctor now.
