The following text exchange with Lira happened on Friday at 3:29 pm:
Lira: "i don't think i'm going to be abe to make it in today. is there something i can do at home..."
Me: "What do you got going today?"
Lira: "...so i have a bunch of stuff to do around the house... and go to my grandma's condo and pack some stuff up. i also have to go and buy dog food and do laundry and go to the grocery store. the list goes on and on..."
Me: "There's a grocery store and dog food place right around the corner from the gym! See if you can block off some time for yourself tonight and come hit this workout"
Lira: "i'll do my best but i make no promises."
2 hours later...
Lira, I am impressed by your maturity there. Many kids (and adults) would have wilted under a to-do list like that but you did something that was not necessarily urgent but was definitely important to you and it turned out great. Keep up that habit.
Jay... I am impressed by your fitness. Punk.
