Sweet, Blessed Rain!
Dec. 27th, 2008 09:46 amWhich will probably lead to horrible, evil flooding. But IT'S NOT SNOW!! :D
I've honestly never been happier to see rain in my life. And the snow is really melting. We have considerably less of it now, although we still can't see the grass yet. Maybe by the end of the day...
Lance, Reece and I had a long lie-in this morning. We didn't even get up until after 9. That was nice. And Reece still isn't done...she's now snoozing on the couch next to me. She's getting lazier. I don't like that, and I think it's our fault, because she's adapting to our lifestyle. And I don't like being lazy myself either. I'm just so exhausted all the time that I don't feel inclined toward anything else.
We plan to get her into agility training early next year. Lance wants to be her primary trainer, but I think we should both get a lot of practice with it.
I'm not sure we'll get out today. We have cleaning to do around the house. I need to clean the kitchen and bathrooms. Lance said he would do floors. Laundry is in progress.
Next week starts theme days at work. Monday is crazy hat day, so I'll probably take Lance's musical light-up hat to work. Tuesday is ugly holiday sweater day. I don't have one. Wednesday is pajama day. I might actually wear pajamas to work, although it seems weird to do so.
I don't have many more days left to start thinking about my goals for next year. I've kind of changed how I do resolutions in that I don't make huge, unattainable goals for myself that require major lifestyle changes. I set realistic expectations now...things I can feel really good about accomplishing that don't require huge amounts of time and effort.
I'll be back on the weight loss train in January. I've gained weight since I started my job because I sit down all day and I no longer have time for the gym. It's just a matter of being committed to walking more during my lunch breaks and exercising more with Reece. And dusting off those old exercise DVD's and doing those, even though Reece thinks I'm trying to play and attacks me whenever I try to do one. And her agility training is part of that too, because it's also exercise for us. And obviously I need to eat better. I did it two years ago, and I can do it again. There wasn't a lot of willpower involved, because I know I don't have much of that.
Oh, started a new book last night. Sandra Worth's The King's Daughter: A Novel of the First Tudor Queen. It's a fictional account of Elizabeth of York. Not far enough into it to be hooked yet, but it has promise.
