"Snow day"

I'm home today because school was called off.  I'm not saying I'm upset by it.  After all, I just had a day off on Monday for Martin Luther King Jr. Day, so I could definitely have used another day of rest.  Short weeks always feel much longer than the long ones.  I'll take any day off I can get.  I love my job, but I love my days off even more!

Today I have been farily productive.  Ran 4 miles (yes, on the treadmill), did an hour of P90X, and ate lunch. Now what to do???  What to do...??  I suppose I won't be above getting back into my pajamas and finding a comfortable lounging spot on the couch for the rest of the afternoon.  It is quite frigid outside, so I can't imagine myself getting very fired up about making my way out of my toasty warm house.  I think wool socks, a wool sweater and a heating pad on my lap to keep me nice and warm sounds about right for the rest of the day.  I might even start a fire (in the fireplace, of course).

Oh, and a very sad/strange thing happened at my Weight Watchers meeting on Saturday. I walked in to find out that my meeting leader had died during the week of a massive stroke.  So very sad, as she was only 56 and a really incredible woman.  I was so shocked and saddened.  I've been doing extra well this week in honor of Judy.  It's a solemn reminder that we are just a breath.  Just a passing breeze in the night and one day it'll all be gone. 
And that makes me want to be active and healthy all the more.

Raise your glass and toast to good health and living life to it's fullest.  Cheers!
