Midweek Check In
Happy Hump Day to you and yours! Anyone else having a case of the "short week feels longer than a regular week" yet or does that hit tomorrow? Unfortunately, Monday afternoon the tweens/teens found the pool not too far from the abode so we got to listen to the hootings of young, insecure males attempting to show off for both girls and their fellow brethren. I'm really hoping this is just some cousins visiting or something for the weekend because I know of only one teen boy here and he's a loner. Is pool season over yet? It always starts strong like this and then typically dies down within a month but what an irritating month it is until then. We did some more work out on the patio Monday. It was going to be the last sunny day before two days of forecasted rain...again. I made sure to get the new picket painted and hung to cover this delightful sight: When the picket was off, I could see how bad the support 2x4's looked on the fence. ...
It must be something with the time of year but I too am getting the itch to visit the old hometown. I wish my was as close as yours though, but then again that would be a bad thing because I would need to get my old favorite pizza and donuts much more than I can now.
ReplyDeleteWe'd need to make some room in the freezer for those but yeah, I could go for some deep dish! :-)
DeleteI'm definitely getting cabin fever. I so want to be out and about, but the weather just hasn't really cooperated. I'm hoping this weekend will give me a break and a chance to get out.
ReplyDeleteIf you get out, enjoy it for us! Looks like I'll be collecting more snow cone supplies!
DeleteIn NC, we've gotten 2-3 days of cold weather, followed by a peak of a day or two in the 70's, followed by another drop to freezing. Its so annoying because its like, the world gives you this beautiful sneak peek of whats to come, and just when you really enjoy walking around barefoot and opening the screen porch door up all day - they take it away. ARG!
ReplyDeleteAs to the survey, I dont know what is up with me lately. I've had some stress at home, which caused me to put back on the ten pounds i had lost 2 years ago and held steady at. (which is really frustrating). On top of that, I went back to school 2 years ago, and have hit the last semester which has really taken a toll on my schedule. The beginning it was either hybrid or online or at least only one seated class, but this semester is the first with two seated classes. So its working 5 days a week. from 7-4 or so, then class 2 nights a week from 530-9pm, it really has screwed up my schedule! Five more weeks of that crap and I'll be done and ready to get back into dedicating those hours to workout time.
Mother Nature is quite the tease, isn't she?
DeleteThat is quite the schedule! I hope things ease up at home for you and maybe you can find a way to get in even 10-15 minutes of exercise per day to help with the stress and the work on the weight when school is over. Take care of yourself! Stress is a buggah!
I definitely have hometown fever and can't wait for the weather to break -- desperately in need of some warmth and new adventures! This winter has been crazy. I don't know a soul who hasn't been affected by it, and we're all desperate for spring!
ReplyDeleteYeah it seems all parts of the country have been affected in one way or another. Hopefully the weather will quit with the tomfoolery and let us all get out and enjoy some sunshine a mild temps!
DeleteI'm anxious to be able to walk the dogs again at the parks. They've been to the dog park one time this year and the hubs just took them for a long walk down by the river last Friday, but that's it. I miss those outdoor walks! I'll be taking one walk at lunchtime during work and then again after work to a different park. If the dogs have already gone to the dog park that day, I'll walk by myself. If they haven't then I'll bring them with me and the hubs when he wants to. I don't mind those walks by myself though...love the peace and quiet and enjoy really taking the in scenery. Clears the old noggin out. =o)
ReplyDeleteYes, there's nothing nicer than being able to walk outside and be alone with your thoughts. Doggies or not. ;-)
