Wow, Fernwood Gyms work fast...

So, this morning I have my first session with the personal trainer, and last night I signed up and ended up doing my first... rotation? Series of exercises? Whatever the terminology is. *grins* But they're not letting me drag my feet and this is a good thing, since despite my rep as the ultra-active fit sporty ficcer, I've actually got a lazy streak a mile long. Especially in winter. Winter makes Rossis hibernate.

I'm taking my work gear in with me, since I start at 1pm today (finish at 10:30). Hopefully things will be a bit more calm today - the last two days have been insane, in that "answer phone, deal with inquiry, hang up phone, answer phone straight away again" kind of way. Plus the homicides - the axe murder in Warburton, a domestic violence-related suspicious death in Robinvale, and a strangulation where the alleged offender fled to Newcastle. Which means we've got police wandering all over the place getting in the way. Oh, but I did get to go into the homicide autopsy viewing room. They were still on the external exam, but hey, just like on TV.

It's sunny out there and I don't know if it's only a placebo effect this soon, but I've been sleeping much better and feeling less beset. Yay for St John's Wort, placebo effect or not. ;)

If it helps, that sounds like the same effect I get when taking St. John's Wort. If I take it in the morning, by the evening I tend to feel more in control and... well... positive, I suppose. I understand it gives your seratonin levels a boost.
