It’s so cold outside that some of us are forced to wear jackets indoors!
Others were lucky enough to be born in a nice, thick fur coat.
And still others resort to fleece jackets, slippers, hot tea, and a warm bowl of oats.
I was up and at ‘em so early – well, for me – and instead of plopping down on the couch and zoning out to recorded television, I worked. I set up a little station on the couch – water, teapot, oatmeal, book, pen, sticky notes, water, and puppies – and I got through nearly 100 pages of book editing before the Husband even got up. It felt so nice to be productive!
Then, I ate a peanut butter sandwich, pulled on my swimsuit, and hit the pool. When I arrived, I was a bit disappointed to realize a middle school swim meet was going on, but the pool staff had reserved a few lanes for passholders. Wahoo!
This meant, however, that I swam 1000 yards whilst surrounded by screaming parents and team mates. Every time I’d bring my face out of the water, I’d heard, “YEAHHHHHH! SWIM SWIM FASTER! GO GO GO!†Haha. I felt like I was in the competition! I overheard one girl yell to another, “Eat my bubbles!†and nearly choked on pool water.
Post-swim lunch:
Still on a Mexican kick… I had a corn tortilla with brown rice, refried beans, and salsa, plus a salad and orange.
Stay warm today!
nice water bottle.
