DAY FIFTY NINE: Some Levity

As is usual, when we came home from my mom's house, we came home with stuff from my childhood.  This trip included a pull up bar (never used because I was too impatient to take the time to unscrew it to fit in the doorway) and some bows without arrows.

I was actually excited about both.  Shooting arrows is relaxing, and the pull up bar would be useful for the girls to work on gymnastics, we just had to make sure it was removed after use so no one walked into when they weren't paying attention.

The girls have made use of it already, setting up pillows on the floor and doing gymnastics moves.  So, I decided to try to use it for workout stuff, including reverse push ups and inverted sit ups (the ones where you hang by your legs).

After the first set, the backs of my legs hurt pretty bad.  So I, being the inventive guy I am, started using oven mitts for cushion.  This helps a lot.  The other hard part was the swinging back and forth created by the motion-fortunately, my fingertips touch the ground enough to stop the back and forth.

Near the end of my workout, I decided to get something out of the kitchen.  I can't remember what.  Whatever it was, I turned and walked through the kitchen door.  Well, actually, I didn't make it through the door, seeing as how my forehead just above my right eye caught the pull up bar dead on.  I think that's why I can't remember what I was looking for.

Thankfully, there is no swelling or black eye- and no headache.  Pretty sure that means no concussion.  I think.

Now, that's not how my day began.  It began with a phone call.  It seems I have a job interview tomorrow at 10:30at A&M Consolidated High School for an aide position in a Special Education class.  Now, I'm excited, but perplexed, as I didn't apply for any Special Ed positions. 

Then, this afternoon, while meeting with a friend, I got another interview at South Knoll Elementary for an aide position Thursday at 1:30.  Again, odd because I didn't apply for any Elementary positions- and the caller even noted that and asked if was even interested.  Here's hoping it is a PE aide position, so I can wear sweats to school.

But if it is, I'll have to be sure to watch out for pull up bars.
