Bunnies, Snow and Exercise

7:50 am

                Well, between work snow and bunnies morning pages have taken a hit. And now that classes have started (yesterday) I just don’t know if I’ll be able to write at all. I got really spoiled this fall with class at 11. Now it is at 10 meaning I must catch the 9 am bus to get there in time. And really it is better to catch the 8:30 bus to get there early. But no class today, so I am not going in – plenty of snow. Oh and the other thing encroaching on my time is the running. I’ve really been very good about it. I’ve managed to exercise every day that I am at work, alternating between the treadmill, elliptical and now the stationary bike. And days that I wasn’t at work I made an effort to do something like a brisk walk. But now will come the crunch and it remains to be seen if I can keep it up once the grading becomes truly onerous. The good part is that I don’t feel like I have to rush home asap to be here for the girls. G is pretty self-reliant and I no longer even need to drive her places! So if I exercise after work and get home at 6:30 it is ok. Except that it means that getting supper done, plus bunnies is a killer and all doesn’t finish until late and I am exhausted. As ever, I must try to be as efficient as possible with things – definitely not my strength.

                I’ve been listening to some great audio while I run and do buns. I just finished 16 short stories by Chekhov, now I’m onto a book by Gogul. They also have an adaptation of Madame Bovary which I might try. The uploading is a bit tedious and takes time – there are lots of steps.

                I think today’s big focus (once bunnies are done) is going to have to be FINISHING that CSS Profile. Then I must get the FAFSA done. Ilse just sent out the tax forms to fill out, so I’d better jump on that. I sure wish there was something nice I could think about doing today, too. The trouble is that nothing appeals. Going out for a walk in the snow, spinning, knitting, none of it appeals. Sitting by the stove and watching the flames appeals. Oh I also must get all my stuff together for my trip to Temenos. I wish I knew where the backpack with the internal frame was, I think there is some sort of backpack in the garage and I can use that, it is just a short distance I must walk stuff in. I’ll bring some knitting, some reading, and my journal. And I’ll sit and watch the world of snow. 

Oh, and here's a photo of our thermometer the other day. And this was several hours after I had looked and it said -15.

All the buns made it through, I had the just-plucked one inside.
