wine or exercise? you decide.

Wow. What a day yesterday. I have come to completely agree that one person's attitude is reflected in every other person they encounter in that day. Working in such a small group, it is hard to stay cheerful when stress trickles down the totem pole.

I would be at the bottom of the totem pole.

With the work load picking up and eventually exploding in November, I need a reliable way to vent my stress, because I, on the other hand, DON'T believe that by yelling at others, you will feel better. So I have come to a cross road - what is the better relaxer - wine or exercise?

Because I was a little heated last night by the time I got home from work, I decided not to indulge in my usual glasses of cab sav, but rather eat a reasonable dinner and go to bed early. I woke up (with the sound of the trash men) and went for a morning run. I must say that I already feel better. Something about pouring sweat that early in the morning, cleanses not only your body, but clears your mind.

However, this study is not over. The month of November will be the test, and by December 1st I will have a conclusion.

To be continued..
