**YAWN**

Long, long night last night. These days any night involving a thunderstorm promises to be long. You see my 13 year old lab mix is terrified of thunder. This means we duration of the storm will come complete with hyperventilating, and a stand up in bed, turn around, lay down and repeat at 10 second intervals all the while hyperventilating and trembling.

What does this have to do with loosing weight - nothing and everything really.

I am exhausted, drained, tired, sleepy, and of no physical use to anyone.

However, I will not allow this to sideline me. I will be in class, come hell or high water. Today from the looks of the skies both are possible.
