turpsMurphy was at the vets again this morning and was given a clean bill of health. He needs to finish his supplement course, but we can stop giving him the painkillers, which will make him happy. The noises he made on the way there were ridiculous though, so loud and protesting.
We were back in the house by 9:20, and that quick appointment is what I'm blaming for the fact we set out for Rosie's exercise only class far too early. We'd walked to the location and getting close saw the door to the hall was still closed, at which point I realised the class started at 11am, and it was only just before 10.
Because we had walked, I didn't really want to turn around and go home again, so we had a walk in the park and sat in the sunshine a bit. Then called in the library as James needed something printing. It's changed a lot since I'd last been in, and if it wasn't for the fact I'm buried in books that Pauline keeps giving me, I'd be tempted to start going again because so many tempting books.
Also, Rosie is a liar that lies. Last week she told us she couldn't include any floor exercises due to it being an all ability class, today I walked in to see floor mats and one of the stations included planks on the floor. But only if you could safely stand up from the floor on your own. As I can, I opted for the floor planks, and do not recommend.
Now I'm waiting to go for my blood test. That isn't until 7:30, and it's thrown me a bit having an appointment so late. Don't they know I'm usually in my pjs and ready to settle for the night at that time?

Murphy was the best boy.

I'm telling you, man, Rosie escaped from the mirror 'verse. *g*
They do blood tests that late?!! I'm ususally already in my PJs and ready to settle in, too!

It makes sense, she's getting more and more evil each week!
Apparently they do, and even later too, as there were still people coming in as I was leaving. I mean, the time meant it was a very fast appointment, but I still would have preferred to have gone much earlier.

I am quite accustomed to feeling like a wrung-out dishcloth on Tuesday mornings, though today's class was a bit frustrating because she ran a really fast sequence which I couldn't keep up with, and then a lie-on-the-floor, now sit up! sequence which I cannot do at all. Grump.

It was the usual Wednesday class today and the floor planks were back. Or you could do modified burpees, which I couldn't coordinate at all, so was planking again. There were also kettlebell swings, and man, my arms were feeling those at the end. I'm surprised I didn't face plant the floor, my arms were so wobbly while planking.

Hahahaha!! Devious, evil Rosie strikes again!! But what are floor planks??
Doing a blood test at half past seven in the evening?! Our health centre closes at five!
