More Snow



I do love the snow.  I woke up and shoveled the driveway before work.  It didn't take long it was only an inch.  And I just finished snow blowing the two inches we got after work.  I still don't know if I like snow blowing.  It's loud.  Shovels are quiet.

I need quiet.  Snow is quiet.

I don't think there is enough quiet time in our American culture.  I have to plan for mine.  I used to get a full body massage once a month.  I think I started getting them nearly ten years ago!  I can't remember the last time I had one.  I'm sure it's been more than six months.

I like to soak in the tub, with bubbles, a book, and usually a glass of wine.  I can't remember the last time I did that either.

I like snow.  It's peaceful and quiet.

Mid Life ... Crisis or Not

Image
As I mentioned yesterday, perhaps I'm in a midlife crisis.  I've been reading several articles and blogs:  The Midlife Crisis ,  10 Signs , and  Is it Real?  to name a few.  So I've decided, I am in a crisis and it is in the middle of my life.  But I'm not going to buy anything elaborate --- except maybe that trip to Ireland I'm planning this year.  I've been overly stressed and overwhelmed. I've been worried about my health and well being and I do feel inadequate in both my family and professional life though and that bothers me.  Nothing really has changed except my perception.  At least that's what I keep telling myself.  It's all me and how I look at things. And then I don't believe myself --- which causes a crisis!  UGH!

Movie Night

Image
It's family movie night at our house.  We just finished watching Earth to ECHO , a movie none of us had seen before. I liked it.  It was Sandlot ish... about a group of childhood friends, solving a problem and becoming better friends because of it.  It also reminded me of the Close Encounters of the 3rd Kind, Flight of the Navigator , or  ET as the plot envolved children and space creatures or aliens. Next up is Big Hero 6 which we saw in the movie theatre and I wrote about in November.  I hope I can stay awake til the end. After that, they may watch The Book of Life but I'm sure I'll be asleep by then.  I love movie nightA

The Scooter

Well I'm back on the scooter I used for the two foot surgeries I had in 2016. It sure is better than the crutches! When I ring the bell I will think of the now retired librarian at our school who gave it to me five years ago. As I check my calorie tracker for today it states: 1694 calories food and 51 oz. water.
