Rat in the roof!

This morning I bailed out on FRIM with Sonja and Julia as the cats had kept us up all night! I went back to sleep for a couple of hours before getting up and heading to the gym. I did a quick bit of cardio and then tackled the weight machines. I mastered the glute machine which I struggled with before. There is nothing natural about lying on your stomach and pushing your leg and the weights vertically up in the air! That being said I managed 3 sets this time. However, when it got to my shoulders, I couldn't even get through 2 sets :-( I am glad that I went even though I walked out of there with severe jelly legs that lasted for about an hour!

I picked Ross up on the way home and we had lunch together before I hit the bathroom for a LONG shower. I spent the afternoon watching contractors patch up things in the roof. I couldn't believe it when they cut a hole in the roof where there appeared to be a leak and what did they find... one very dead rat! It had decomposed so badly that its juices had leaked through the roof! Eeeuuuwwww!!!!

Wish I'd taken a photo of the rat but couldn't bring myself to get too close to it. Anyway, after that excitement, the contractors replastered the roof and painted it - not too well but at least there is no hole.

Ross came home and we cooked dinner together - deviled chicken legs with almond and spiced rice. It was pretty good! Now off to watch American Idol...
