What I'm Reading This Week #20
Howdy do punkin' poos? I hope you had a delightful week of blissful productivity at work (aka hanging on by the frays of your well bitten fingernails whilst saying you need to win the lottery but never actually playing.) A birthday shout out to my grandma. You know, even though she would've been 86, and I know the probability is she would be gone now, it still doesn't stop me wondering how long she would've made it if dementia hadn't reared up. I could really use one of her hugs or her hands cupping my face with that ornery little grin saying I was her first grandbaby. Happy birthday grandma. I hope you and mom have a big euchre game going on tonight. We've been slowly integrating back into walking this week as the Mr could handle. Last night he was able to do two laps without having to stop to stretch so that is good news.

I did not look at the weather so the snow was a total surprise to me and I loved walking in it. So many people cringe with snow but you can't beat walking in a nice light snow, especially when the roads aren't covered so you don't have to worry about the roads being any worse than they are with rain for the most part. The added bonus was the smell of the fire nearby. Perfect way to spend an afternoon!
ReplyDeleteI love snow. We don't get a lot of it here so it's always a bit of a novelty which makes it even better - I never have time to get tired of it. I know a bunch of people that loathe it, but I don't really understand it - unless they are ranchers, then I totally get not wanting to deal with livestock in the snow. The boy and I both tested positive last Monday so we were home from school all week and still on isolation over the weekend. Even though it was a good reason and not a punishment, it felt like an adult grounding and I was so glad to get back to work yesterday. We were lucky that both of our symptoms were fairly mild and short lived. We've had quite a local spike and school has gone remote starting today and we return in person after Thanksgiving.
ReplyDeleteThat sounds like a perfect walk in the snow! I love days like that where the roads and paths are dry so you don't slip, but are surrounded by that quiet beauty. Weekend was typical with lots of errands, chores, work, and tons of computer stuff to do. We got some whipping snow but it didn't last more than a day, and then have had flurries on and off since. Temps go from 50 today to 30s tomorrow so it's kind of all over the place.
