DAY TWENTY-SIX (12/10/12)

1 - Wake Up @ 6:00am

     I did it!  I slapped the crap out of my alarm. "Get it off!!!!!"  Then turned to Rachel, who might have been dead she was sleeping so hard, and said, "Good morning!"  No reply.

2 - Scottish Shower

     Brushed teeth, worked out, took a cold shower.  I'm getting pretty good at this stuff.

3 - No Television

     Well...I was really starting to like today.  But then today had to go and suck balls.  One...it's really cold!  Two...so cold that the locks on my driver-side door froze.  I climbed in through the passenger side and managed to kick open the door, but the latch is still frozen.  I've tried everything I know (hot water, WD40, etc.) and nothing works.  Good news: I only need one arm to drive, thus I can hold my door shut.  Bad news:  It isn't going to be warm enough to thaw my door until Wednesdsay.

4 - Clean My Room

      Still loving the new configuration. 


5 - Write A Song Every Day

      I wrote today's song over lunch.  Or at least started it.  It's....weird.  I basically sat at the piano and used the first sequence of notes I randomly hit.  I worked them into some sort of melody and BAM!  Just kept playing it until it made sense.  I'll probably transpose it tonight in the key of G so I can easily mix in a banjo part or uke part.  Having fun with the keys!  Thanks again, Liz.  Here's the link: DAY 26 SONG


6 - 30 Minute Workout

Pretty good workout this morning before the whole day fell apart.  I can tell that certain exercises are getting easier as I'm building back those muscle groups.  I still look out-of-shape, but I feel really good.

Only FOUR more days to go.  I have recently been thinking about my next round of challenges and what I should do.  I'm not really sure what I'll be doing, but one lesson I have learned during this Challenge is that it's really hard to keep on track around the holidays.  I will probably wait 'til after New Years to start the next round.  Any thoughts or suggestions are welcome.
