While I waited for my husband to finish pooping so that he could take our daughter from me in the shower, I figured it was the perfect time for me to catch up on the two missed nights of squats from my physical therapy exercises. I’ve had a handful of very hard nights when getting ready for bed recently, and so I’ve been aiming to get things done as fast as possible and to be lying in bed, ready to sleep, when I nurse my daughter for the last time before bed. In my haste and stress – because having a crying baby chasing me down or trying hard to grab and suck on the toilet really adds some stress to the routine – I have forgotten to do the squats before getting onto the bed. The other exercises are all things I can do once on the bed, so I manage to do all of those. But I have missed the squats twice, and then also forgotten to do them when she has finished nursing (It really takes her a while at bedtime.). So, I did them all on the shower, plus three extras for good luck. Then, I figured I’d do a third set of three extras, so that I’d have three sets of three extras, like a little blessing from God. And then I remembered that I still had to do the ones for tonight…
So, I did a total of 90 squats in the shower, plus the three bonus sets of three each. Super silly, but also super cool and fun in its way(!).
