Oh boy, the big question is, how is today any different from yesterday?  I work from home, I walk the dog, I cook the dinner.

What went well, work edition:  my attitude is a little better because I had a long talk with a coworker and I see the light at the end of the tunnel.  I set a meeting to do some cool stuff at work with someone I respect, I hope to remember to be grateful for that.  I’m glad I found out my coworker’s birthday was today so I wasn’t too crabby with her.

What went well at home:  I reached out to someone on craiglist about cross-country skis!  With a little luck and fifty bucks, I can make the skijoring idea a reality.  I found the stuffed peppers recipe that I loved, and my kitchen is still clean.  I have more clean jeans than dirty.  Dog got some extra play time tonight, but it left her all keyed up when I brought her back in and she bounded and bolted through the upstairs several rounds in a way she never has before – lol!

Someone said you can feel spring in the air as early as the second week in February.  Since it’s a melty 34º out, I’m going to say I do.

My life is remarkably boring these days.  In many ways, it’s exactly how I like it.  I have very low stress and every opportunity in the world to live a healthy lifestyle.  I was thinking earlier about how I should walk through the property next door to figure out the best way to the trails by cross-country skis.  I then realized how lucky I am to be in this location … skiing with my dog on lunch breaks, it doesn’t get much better than that!  I have miles of paved and dirt trails just a half a block away, and I would be foolish to give this up at this time.

I would like to add more people to my life.  I see my son, family, and friends a few times a week, but I need to find opportunities to meet new.
