Snow Day

Well, it's not an official Snow Day, but I did see snow when I woke up this morning. It was a pleasant surprise. Chase didn't have a problem with it at all. Penny, however, didn't cross it until the second time we went out this morning. Unfortunately, I couldn't get a picture of them together.



But now it's all gone and melted away. After I saw the snow I decided I didn't want to take the dogs on their walk. But once inside and settled on the couch with my breakfast (oatmeal and a banana) Chase started bugging me and Penny started pawing at me. Obviously they were not going to let me out of my resolution.


So I gave in and decided to take them on their walk. But I made it a short one. I had Josh drive the path we took yesterday, and it's exactly a mile from the apartment gate and back. After walking to the office to pay rent I realized my hips were honestly sore from the walk yesterday, so I made today's walk short. It's a good thing I did because my ankle began protesting toward the end of it. My ankle feels fine now that I'm home, but my hips are still aching. I'm sure that will pass.

First thing I did this morning was take care of the dishes in the sink from last night's dinner. We were going to have chicken and salad, but the chicken had gone bad. I was happy with just the salad since I bought red peppers and almonds to go in it. Josh was not completely satisfied however. He wanted a burger. Go figure. So I volunteered to go get him McDonald's. I was tempted to get something for myself while I was there, but I didn't. When I got home I gave Josh his dinner and then decided to dice up some left over ham for my salad. So I ate the rest of the salad and Josh enjoyed his McDonald's. We were content.

For lunch today, I had Spaghettio's. I know, it doesn't sound healthy, but the calorie count isn't bad, as long as it's my entire meal. Normally I have soda with my lunch, but I've been trying to stick to water and juice. I think I will only have soda (Coke or a Shirley Temple) is when we go out to eat. Even then I will probably not have one EVERY time we go out. More water!

I also got a package from NSC bookstore.

I guess this is what it means to be an English Major? I have to read all of these during the 16 weeks of the next semester. And I'm still missing at least one book for that stack. Looks like I won't be reading anything of MY choosing for a long time. :(

Well, I'm off to fold laundry.
