Simple Happiness

I find that even the most boring day can be lifted with doing one simple chore.

If all minds instantly revert to their laziest place when left alone, my laziest place is tv. I'll watch it all day, episode after episode, and feel worse and worse at the completion of each one, but I just can't seem to stop watching. I tried to do the dishes to get myself away from the tv, but our house is set up just right for tv to be the chief entertainment for dish washers. (Note: we do not own the appliance that washes dishes. All dishes must be washed by hand.)

What was a girl to do?

My salvation!

It snowed. So the walk needed shoveling. And since I was all dressed up I might as well take care of the molding gourdes left on our patio, and since that was a stinky chore anyway I might as well clean my cow slushed boots.

I felt so good after that I went for a nice long walk.

I did have a moment of panic this weekend. I got on the scale for the first time in months and I had shot back above 200. Who does that after maintaining a steady low 190's for three years? I blame the extra muscle I gained last year. That with the usual holiday fluff pushed my weight up.

Please note that I am not upset about this...ok maybe a little, but the knowledge that the culprit is nothing more then densely packed protein fibers makes me feel a little better.

PS: I've decided that the ticker is too annoying to deal with. That or I may have forgotten my pin and don't feel like building a new one right now....oops.
