Turn around

>> Tuesday, March 3, 2009

If you recall, last month, our car got wrecked, our tenants moved out of the house, we got new tenants moved in, we flew home, and Michael accepted a temporary job with Harlem Globetrotters.

Well, March is turning out to be a whirlwind as well!

MICHAEL GOT A NEW JOB TODAY!!!

Okay, okay, I know what you're thinking... didn't he just take a job with the globetrotters.

Yes.

But it's just for their East Coast tour which ends on March 31st. The same day that Michael interviewed for that job, he also interviewed for another, more stable, full-time gig at a physical therapy clinic.

When he went back for his 2nd interview at the clinic, he had already been offered and accepted the globetrotters gig so he informed them that his start day would be when he returned from tour. They didn't seem too excited, they really want someone who can start next week.

Because of that, we were worried they would choose someone else.

But, we were happily wrong. They called and offered him the job today!!! They even offered him a sign-on bonus if he would start next week but no amount of money would lead Michael to back out of a commitment and I respect him for that.

So he's going to finish the tour and start at the clinic the next day.

It's about 15 miles away in Gilbert, AZ so I guess the wait to buy a new car is now over.

We don't have to rush necessarily, but Michael will need one when he returns so it looks like I know how I'm spending my weekends!!! =) We're still planning to buy a used car...

I had an awesome workout tonight. I kind of made it up once I started. I was torn between running and doing CrossFit so I did a little of both.

I ran 1 mile at 10:45/mile
then I did: 2 rounds of: 10 pull-ups, 20 push-ups, 30 sit-ups, 40 squats
I ran 1 mile at 9:45/mile
then I did 2 rounds of strengthening again
I ran 1 mile at 8:45/mile

I didn't time myself during the strengthening sections, but I kept my heart rate up and kept moving along. It was great.

Until tomorrow,
