Saturday: Day Off

So I cannot say that today was an intentional day off.  I decided to sleep late and sort of decided that I would go for a run in the afternoon, but I didn't, and then I thought about getting out the trainer, but I didn't  and then I thought I would at least get in a Gilad workout and I wimped out on that as well.  I have really devoted my ENTIRE day to needlepointing and watching Joan Rivers : A Piece of Work.  It isn't terrible to have a day like this, and it is freezing outside.

Now, Joan Rivers on the other hand, is INSANE.  The way she lives, how hard she works; all of it.  She works harder than anyone I have ever seen.  She has NEVER had a day like I had today.  She was working.  She was hocking jewelry on QVC, before hopping on a plane to do a show in Wisconsin, before  working until 2AM writing monologues in magic marker on her bathroom floor.

Her jokes are so dirty and so below the belt that she makes me super nervous.  Also, underneath it all, she is really rather grumpy and bitter.  She has, however, a lot to be both bitter and grumpy about.  She really sort of clawed her way to a spot on the Tonight Show, where she worked until Johnny Carson stopped speaking to her.  Her husband committed suicide and left her with a lot of debt, and she dug her heels in and pulled herself up by her bootstraps, and it is pretty impressive.

I would say that it was not all worth it, but her apartment in New York is STUNNING.  It is just beautiful, and it would kind of be worth the lifestyle.
