Weds

This morning, I did the first mile from John Abdo's Walkabdobics Inside Track/Metabolic Stimulator then the first mile from his FatBlaster. Used Fitstix for Inside Track but found Fatblaster intense enough without them. Much preferred everything about Fatblaster (its warmup, louder music and more creative moves using imagery). Then I did half of Kathy Smith's Kettlebell Fatburning workout which I am still liking an awful lot and finished with Classical Stretch.

Finally got a good night's sleep last night in spite of my disappointment in the oil company's owner's attitude. DH is taking over the negotiations from now on. On the plus side, the house heated much more evenly and quieter this morning :)

ETA: Got a phone call from the head of service of the oil company who let us know that our main 2 demands were met so negotiations are completed. Probably still overpaid and had unnecessary stress but at least, the house is quietly, quickly, and evenly heating so overall am satisfied. Thanks to an obvious blunder by the sales rep which was the first red flag of many, we saved $250 with a discount we would have otherwise missed as well as received free vents on all radiators that needed one and got a break on the repair job for the radiator with a leaky valve. Never did get a complete breakdown of material and labor like I would have preferred, still suspecting there were some other errors made in determining our cost but it was a reasonable compromise for both us and them. I was prepared to report them to the Better Business Bureau for false advertising if denied the $250 discount which we clearly qualified for. LOL DH found the flyer we got last summer offering the discount by accident because he was using it as scrap paper for the numbers of various racetracks when he called for race results. Otherwise, this flyer would have been tossed into the trash long ago! From now on, all correspondence from the oil company will be put into a folder in my possession.
