Why am I wearing a scarf and hat in the house?
I turned up the heat finally, but I just feel comfy in my scarf. Today was rough. Putting up Christmas lights all afternoon and morning in temperatures that never got above 38 degrees pretty much sucks. Steve and I definitely got into it and the spirit of the whole thing, but it was difficult at times. The thing is, we have this set of bushes in front of the house that are super thorny. Every time we tried to put lights on the thing it felt like we were taking the test of the Kwisatz Haderach. My hands hurt so bad trying to adorn that bush with lights, and I was wearing gloves! We ended up not putting any lights in it and now that it is dark, I really feel like it needs lights. *Sigh* Steve and I are going to have to figure something out. However, despite the headaches that it caused putting up Christmas lights has been something Steve and I have been looking forward to for a long time. Hopefully we have come up with a decent scheme, for now ;) I would say the whole thing is still a work in progress.
Thanksgiving was nice. The snow I could have done without in a lot of ways, but it was beautiful to see and fun to play in. It just sucks when you have places to go...like work. My whole work week has been bizarre. I feel like I need one more day off, despite only working every other day last week due to weather and holidays. I just feel kind of exhausted. I think I will feel better when my schedule gets back to normal. Getting back to the gym tomorrow is going to be tough.
Yeah, I have been hitting the gym again. I got to make an attempt to get back into shape. First was the weight gain of starting a sit down job, then the weight gain of moving to this rainy and dark environment. In total I have gained somewhere in the neighborhood of 50 lbs. in the last 4 years, and I am not very pleased about it. So Steve and I decided to join the gym about a month ago. Haven't been this last week because of the weather, but I am going to head back tomorrow.
Work has been going ok. It seems like just when things get under control, something happens to throw everything off balance. I guess it keeps me on my toes, but somedays I just want things to go as they should, you know? However, I am thankful to be working, that both Steve and I are working, and even when it is tough, it isn't as tough as it was this time last year. Loved being a "housewife" last year, but the pay...is not so good. :)
