Tattoos, Workouts and Another Trip To Denver

Why is it that when I'm exhausted, I can't fall asleep at night? Does that make sense to anyone? I'm a bit baffled by the concept... as a result, I've taken an Ambien and am waiting for it to kick in. In the meantime, I grace you with my presence (aka, a blog post). Two and a half weeks ago I had an appointment with Sarah de Azevedo at Oni Tattoo Gallery and got my new tattoo. I'd say it's my 2nd, but technically, it's my 3rd. (My back started out as just a sun... a couple of years later I added onto it... and yes, it's a tramp stamp!) Anyhoodle, this is my new one and I love it. It's all healed, and now I need to go back and have it touched up. The woman is amazing! (Don't mind the scar and sock line in the pic!)
I joined the gym last week and have been very diligent about going to workout. I made it twice last week (it would have been 4 times but I got that stupid stomach bug), and three times thus far this week. I was so damn tired today I was thinking about skipping my workout but went anyway. Instead of taking it easy, I punched it hard and kicked my ass! I'm sure I'll feel it tomorrow... but since tomorrow is a travel day, I'm taking the day off from the gym.
It occurs to me how little I've been blogging lately because I think I've failed to mention that I'm heading back to Denver to see my Cassi! Monkey's birthday is next month and I wanted to be there to celebrate with them, so I booked my tickets. That also happens to be SuperBowl weekend and Cassi's family are big Steelers fans, so I think it's gonna be a really fun weekend! I'm a pretty big Steelers fan as well, but not as die hard as they are! I'm so excited!

Hope y'all are having a great week!
