I didn't exercise today. I was just too discouraged. Eri thought the problem was my weight swings, but I'm ignoring those. I explained that the mess was just too much.

Every day I wake up at 6AM, clean my exercise area (about 10' x 5' in front of the TV), and do my workout. Today I woke up late (it is the weekend!), and the exercise area was full of the leftovers of Eri's attempt to organize some old mess. I was happy to see the organization attempt, but I just couldn't stand picking up all that stuff and putting it in a pile any more.

Worse yet, there were kid's toys all over the place. I find the mess very discouraging in general, sometimes even depressing. Today the kids weren't interested in cleaning any of it up, no matter what gentle persuasion I used; they figured they should be having fun on the weekends.

So I didn't exercise.

As a father, I don't want to lose my temper at my kids. Since it's Valentine's Day, I didn't want to be the Meanie of the House. I tried to let everything go, but I'm just suppressing it. Today was a very frustrating day.

And there's still stuff on the floor. I figure Eri's had plenty of time to put it away; if it gets disorganized tomorrow, I just can't help it.
