Inconsistent Week

It's been a bit unorganized this past week.  Aerial classes kept getting cancelled due to low sign up because of the Thanksgiving Holiday.  I would have gone to the YMCA on the days I couldn't to go to aerial class, but I only find out if class is going to get cancelled three hours prior to class start time.  Aerial classes are at night and the classes at the YMCA that I take are in the morning so I can't really plan to go to the YMCA instead since I don't know if aerial class will get cancelled until the end of the day.

On top of that, we had some home issues that needed to be sorted out over the weekend.  I turned on the heater in the morning and it set off the fire alarm and carbon monoxide alarm.  It smelled like something was burning so I turned the heater off.  The fire alarm kept going off every 20 minutes or so after we reset it so we had the fire department come out and investigate what was going on.  They think some lint probably got into the heater and burned up and suggested we clean out the unit and the filter.  Joe had to take the batteries out of all the smoke detectors and do a reset on all of them because they just wouldn't turn off.  We also called the gas company to come out to check for carbon monoxide (better safe than sorry with a baby in the house).  They didn't come until the end of the day.  The good news was that there was no leak but the bad news was he found a problem with our hot water tank.  The seal was not properly installed so he had to turn it off because it was a hazard.  He told us a plummer could turn it back on after fixing the seal.  Joe spent the entire next day trying to find a plummer who could come out.  It turned out that he had to order the proper part needed from the manufacturer before the plummer could do anything.  Thankfully they did overnight shipping but we had to wait another day without any hot water.  The day the part came, the plummer wasn't sure if he could make it that day because he was backed up all day at another job.  We ended up going to Joe's parents house to bathe the baby and take showers.  Finally the plummer came at the very end of the day.  It took him an hour to install the seal properly and said we'd have hot water again after about an hour.

So I really didn't meet my goal of working out four days a week this month but there were a lot of random things that came up that I couldn't really control (the aerial studio moving, the holiday, the house issues).  Joe mostly handled the stuff with the fire alarm and water heater but I had to be around to help out with the baby and wait for all the people to come by.  It's okay.  Next month is another month and I'll just keep trying my goals.  There's always set backs but you just do what you can.
