I know it's coming to the end of yet another work week when members show up early for training, not because they want to train early but because they want to sleep.
A lack of sleep plagued Hulk's today.
2 Hulkies slept on the sandbags.
2 Hulkies slept on one of our massive tires.
2 Hulkie slept on our front couch.
1 Hulkie fell asleep on our office couch.
1 Hulkie slept in our office chair.
With today being both the end of a hot week and the end of exam week for many of our Hulkies, energy levels were expected to be low but this was really low. Coffee machine to the rescue!!! Made an overdose of coffee for our Hulkies to lean on for a second wind. Even I found myself sneaking to the bedroom to catch a nap and then needing an espresso -- I'm a one-cup-a-day kind of girl so a straight shot of espresso is serious stuff. Woke up 20 minutes later, totally dazed and confused. It wasn't an adequate power nap, it was a total crash. Initally I had fallen asleep on one of the front couches but when one of my mini Hulkies took it upon herself to climb up on my back and then lay down on me, I figured I'd have to sneak back to the bedroom.
Ending the day on such an exhausted note means I won the argument between Snickers with regard to closing the club next Friday to do renovations. I love my job and it's not that I need a day away from it, that's totally not it, but like everyone else I do need a mental break from my job. A day to just disconnect and do absolutely nothing -- mentally and physically. It's impossible to totally take a break from my work, after all pillow talk between Snickers and I often is work-related -- the other night's pillow talk was about bathroom renovations, how's that for sexy bedtime talk?! In mid sentence, when we were talking about bathroom renovations, I stopped him and said "I'm laying here buck naked and you want to talk about putting a door on the storage cabinet, really?" He giggled and added, "but you're always naked". [For the record here, I am not.] That was the end of the storage cabinet door chat but it was also the end of the evening for us. We giggled, he kissed my nose, I pulled his ear, and then we pretty much feel to sleep because of pure exhaustion.
Anyways, totally straying away from where I was going with that...
So ya, this upcoming Friday we'll be closing Hulk's for the day but it'll hardly be a day off for Snickers and I. It'll be a day of busy renovations. After work tonight we sat down to talk about such renovations. For the most part there's a lot of smaller renovations that we want to do that I'm sure most members won't even notice and we've got some bigger renovations too to do. We put in about 9 hours on the floor in the boxing training area, a renovation we did this past Sunday/Monday that was pretty huge but that no one really noticed. We've got some new equipment coming as well as some machines. Whether members notice or not is irrelevant, I'll notice... as will our bank account. Correction, our bank account has already noticed, it noticed tonight when I wired three of our suppliers for the items we'll be getting delivered tomorrow.
