Walking

After 2 months of snow & ice, I was able to go for a real walk – as in fast & some distance yesterday.  It’s amazing how quickly one gets out of shape.  I’ve been out every day photographing, but not really walking.  Now to do both since it’s supposed to be above freezing all week.  Step by step trying to find balance.  In the meantime, back to work today and it will be a day of meetings.

Banks & Wall Street

It’s been a week of news of the misuse of bail out funds, while two of said banks have tried to screw me over for no sensible reason. That, causing financial stress, coupled with the vague to be determined work stress, in the context of the winter that just doesn’t seem to want to end is getting to me so badly. Need to find some solutions, answers and warmth.

Vague

The meeting yesterday was full of vagueness and bs and work to do and time to wait before anything is clear.  I don’t know why people can’t just be upfront and clear when they want something.  Frigid weather, but I discovered another new place to photograph in my 10 minutes of free time yesterday.

Hibernation

Yesterday I heard about more problems and just ended up spending my Saturday inside, watched a movie, some tv, putzed around the house. It was very therapeutic and now today it will be warmer and I will crawl out of my cave into the great outdoors.

Expectations

This has been the winter of snow. I hear a forecast and then go to sleep with my cell phone next to my bed. I wake up all cozy & warm, dial the snow emergency number, hoping for a snow day. But over & over I hear that today is a normal day of operations. Then I’m sad. Maybe I should just accept the fact that we don’t have snow days and that I do have to leave my cozy & warm bed to leave earlier than usual to shovel.

Body

It’s amazing how much better I feel physically now that I have been taking photos every day and there is a new administration. Work is still work, home is still home, this winter stinks, but I’m not nearly as achy as I usually am.
