Cornered by Sandy

Sandy is currently making her way up the coast and has veered away from the DC/Baltimore area and toward New Jersey (insert your own joke here). The federal government is closed, WMATA is closed, universities are closed. Work was canceled for both today and tomorrow for me. I’m crossing my fingers for a power outage giving me Halloween too.

As much as I dislike my job and relish not being there, days like this make me stir crazy. I don’t like feeling cooped up but didn’t seem to be much point in going out with all the hoopla and various closings. If I’d known it wouldn’t suck until four I’d have taken in a movie. I also miss the physical stimulation of going to the gym. I don't have any cardio machines other than the stairs that came with the house.

To keep myself busy I’ve:

-done some hand wash

-put away clean laundry

-read comics

-put away the last of my purchases from Baltimore Comic Con

-watched Magic Mike with my mother (weird mother-daughter bonding moment BTW)

-emptied and reloaded the dishwasher

-worked on a HW assignment for a free on-line class I’m taking

-read

-watched episodes from Big Bang Theory from season 5 I missed the first go around

-played Bejeweled

I’m going to do some of the ab exercises I usually do at the gym. Anyone got an suggestions for physical and mental stimulation when I’m cooped up tomorrow?
