Yes, I skipped week 11. It was not worth discussing and a week I would rather just forget all together. Let's just say I was in the mountains chopping down a Christmas tree with Rafe. For free. I prefer that image in my head.
Welcome to the Bah Humbug post. I'm cold. It makes me hurt, seriously. I have a very small threshold of tolerance for temperature changes and it hovers around 70 degrees for me to feel warm and toasty. It never made it out of the 40's on Monday and today when I left for work it was 31 degrees. Had to scrape ice off the windows. Couldn't turn on the heater because the car would go into cardiac arrest (ok that wasn't funny). Those of you who live in the freezing weather states, I salute you. *hurries to make a cup of hot cocoa to cradle in hands*
So let's see...what else is new. I started using light weights to give me some resistance when doing my shoulder exercises. If nothing else I will get toned while I strengthen. Will 2 lb. weights tone one's arms?
Got an amazing gift from my son. Wish I knew how to upload it properly. I would love to share it.
Oh! Put up a holiday playlist. Who knew Twisted Sister sang Christmas carols? Seriously you have to check it out!
I'll admit I am in a blue funk. Trying not to be. Life just blows chunks sometimes though. No Lessons Learned this week. But I will leave you with a blogthing or three. Cuz that's how I roll.
You Are Midtown |
 You love so many things, you don't fit into any one label. You're the type of person who goes to a fancy restaurant one night and a dive bar the next. You can fit in almost anywhere. You feel equally comfortable in old jeans and designer duds. You are unpretentious. You are neither a snob nor a hipster. You're just you. |
You Should Be a Film Writer |
 You don't just create compelling stories, you see them as clearly as a movie in your mind. You have a knack for details and dialogue. You can really make a character come to life. Chances are, you enjoy creating all types of stories. The joy is in the storytelling. And nothing would please you more than millions of people seeing your story on the big screen! |
Your Snow Test Says You're Independent |
 You feel like something good will happen to you in the next few months. You love to work, especially when work is creative. You have the makings of a successful artist. You are an independent, individualistic person. You thrive when you're doing your own thing. Your biggest worry in life is your family. You stay up at night thinking about them. When it comes time to relax, you always go the extra mile. You take relaxing as seriously as anything else in life. |
I love that shot of Rafe dragging in the Christmas tree.
ReplyDeleteLast week was your first week back, so it had to be extremely tough even if all the rest of the crap hadn't hit at the same time.
love your blogthings. I got pretty much the same results, except downtown instead of midtown. Expected that. I always swore I'd live in either the sticks or the city. Right...
Great playlist, great shot of Rafe. Life can blow, no argument here.
ReplyDelete*Checking temperature at 9AM Central time* It is -26 C here...talking about cold. Yes, stereotypes can be true, Canada can be cold, at least where I am at. Back East visiting my family, it was 15 C, what a difference. I am shivering here...*brrr*
Sorry you're feeling so crappy, Gayl! I hope things getting better. This time of year can definitely be filled with bah-humbug.
ReplyDeleteLOL at your tiny heater, OMG. That is just too much. You would freeze to death where I'm from with that little thing. xD
The shot of Rafe and the tree is awesome!
yeah the heater...whatever happened to buying a portable space heater....
ReplyDeleteThat TINY vent is supposed to heat your whole house? That is insane!
Beth, I love that shot too! Yes that week was chock full of crap. I scratched it off the calendar. I'm really not much of an uptown midtown or downtown girl myself. If I had my druthers I would live in a little house at the beach. And I do have a small space heater (emphasis on small) that warms my feet but it has been so damned cold...
ReplyDeleteDrew, I have no concept of Celsius except to know that is probably very very cold. I just can't tolerate cold unless I am bundled up...I would love to use the fireplace but the chimney has cracks and I would probably burn the house down. That would be bad...
ReplyDeleteMao, that little house heater works if I crank it up all the way and stand in front of it but then I can't pay the heating bill :/
ReplyDeleteThings will get better; they always do...thanks!
