Hello ladies -
I'm super busy at work today so this will be quick. Thankfully, I'm not nearly as sore as yesterday. Last night, I took a couple of the meds that I used to take for my back, and I fell asleep watching TV at 7:30 - which was fine with me...I was exhausted. I woke up at 4:30 feeling refreshed, so I got dressed and went into work. I knew I'd have a lot to get done today, since I didn't accomplish much work-wise yesterday.
Please ladies, think good thoughts for my DH. He is seeing the doctor about his hand infection today, and he has two interviews tomorrow and a second interview on Friday.
Shad - From what I've read, during the Great Depression here, the government put people out to work in a program called the WPA (I think). They also did infrastructure projects and even built the Hoover Dam. I, too, hope they come up with some good ideas to help pull us out of this recession/depression. Luckily I didn't have to get up on the roof to rake the snow off (as I'm really afraid of ladders). I just use this huge rake at the end of a long metal pole....fling it up on the roof about 6' in from the edge, stand back and pull all the snow down! Great upper body workout!
Ceejay - I hope your trainee learns quickly and takes good notes so he can be trusted to go solo eventually.
Annie - I hope training is going well! :hifive:
Carla - Sounds like a traveling nightmare! I hope you enjoy your dinner with Madcat tonight!
Mel - Sorry, but I do not want to hear about White Christmases or Let it Snow. Those songs, which I normally really like, are grating on my nerves and sore muscles right about now.
It is nice to work from home, but I don't get to very often. Which is probably good...it's easier to get distracted at home. Thanks for your concern regarding my lungs and exertion. I did okay yesterday...I wore a ski mask (a pretty red penguin fleece material so not a bank robber type). Wow! You're opening windows in the middle of December? Are you sure you're in Jersey?
Happy - I'm glad you made it home okay. Wet, slick roads and hydroplaning is really scary. Thanks for sending the Ben Gay....must be why I'm feeling better. I'll try and take a photo of our lawn decorations this week (one during the day and one at night). Of course, it's pretty snow-covered...so some stuff (including our penguin pathway lights) are completely buried. Glad to hear you won't have any weather issues for your trip. When are you heading up north and for how long? Sorry, you probably mentioned it, but the snow has fried/frozen my brain.
Ruth - Good for you for getting your shopping done. How nice to make charitable donations as gifts for those who have everything. So thoughtful of you to work so hard with the food bank and other charities! I hope you enjoy your cozy morning! I just love those this time of year!! What a beautiful photo of you and Disney!
I am doing something different for my lunch break today. My company's Wellness Center is sponsoring a strength training workshop today and next Wednesday over the lunch hour! Should be a lot of fun and even though I've done lots of strength training, I may even learn a few new moves or techniques to build the muscles, strengthen the bones and boost my metabolism.
Well, ladies, I've got to get back to work. Here's to a great day for all of us!
Love and big hugs,
