#2230 miscellaneous Monday

• When I left work this afternoon, the thermometer in my car told me it was 104 degrees. That's freaking hot!! I did go to they gym this evening. It was nice and cool in there and even though I got sweaty during my workout, it was still cooler than being outside.

• The wellness program through my work started a fitness challenge today and I am determined to succeed. My goal is to get in 20 workouts during the challenge period which is July 29 through August something. I'm pretty sure I can do it; I will probably have to push myself on occasion. One workout down, 19 to go!

• This week I don't have any concerts at Red Butte. I was supposed to have one on July 30, John Prine, but he had to cancel/postpone the show for health reasons. I'm bummed out about it because I thought it would be cool to hear this icon. Hopefully he will feel better and be able to reschedule the date sometime this summer. I did pick up another show to make up for the lost hours, so that's cool. Next week I have three shows: Sunday, Wednesday and Friday. Actually the Sunday and Wednesday shows were both bonus pick-ups for me. Only the Friday show was on my original schedule. More on those shows next week!

• Want to hear what I've got planned for this week? Okay! Tomorrow is open although I am planning to go out in the evening for a walk. Hopefully MT will come with me. Wednesday I am going to take a Zumba class and maybe the yoga class that happens right after. I've been wanting to take some yoga classes. Thursday is book club night. We are reading Belonging: A German Reckons with History and Home  by Nora Krug and it is one of the most beautiful and unusual books we have ever read with this club. Click here to read a review of the book from the NY Times. I'll be interested to hear what the other readers make of it. After book club, I'm thinking about trying out a new class at the gym called BollyX. I think it could be really fun! On Friday MT and I are going to a party at Red Butte Garden. I'll tell you more about it afterwards. It will be good for us to get out and do something different. I'm looking forward to all of it!

• I don't remember if I mentioned it on Saturday, but Scooby has gone home. He was mostly fun to have around and I was also glad for him to go back with his people. 

• That's all I've got for now! Talk to you on Wednesday!
