Update

We had a nice time at Kharren's parents over Christmas. Jeremy met her parents and I did for a second time and we both met her twin sisters as well as their cats. We also met two more of their friends and had a nice relaxing few days. Hayde also managed to mostly behave too! I got some well needed, but not enough, sleep and we made a quick stop at the mall on our way back on Friday - Boxing Day of course. I think the whole contemporary idea of Boxing Day is the same as US Black Friday - shopping day. I can't say I miss all the crowds and cars at the mall by being in Petawawa - we just don't have the population for that!

Now, it's on to cleaning. I managed to get 3 weeks worth of laundry done and the litter boxes cleaned and aroma free, whew! There's still a lot to do, but I haven't had the motivation to get to the rest. Jeremy got me back on my workout schedule at the gym and I'm paying for it today with sore arms. I hate missing days, but it's well worth it. I took Hayde out for a run yesterday and today. I can't believe it's been over 3 weeks since we ran together (prior to her eating those socks!). I'm hoping my 2-1/2 week stay in a high altitude can help my running.

Otherwise, I couldn't believe the piles of snow when I got back!!! Plus, I'm sure some melted since it's been fairly warm. This afternoon, I noticed it was in the 40s! We've had rain, sleet and snow off and on since I've been back - more rain. The ground is one large ice rink! I managed to chip some of it away from the steps and driveway this afternoon when the power went out for a few hours. It's been incredibly windy! It tried knocking me over several times while I was outside this afternoon.

So, hopefully the rest of the week will be a bit more eventful and we get some motivation back. Jeremy's off until Friday so he'll have a one day week this coming week. Until next time.
