It's Monday, back to work today. I did work Friday, January 2, but it still seemed like a holiday and they let us out at 3:00. Today it's back to business as normal, and it's freezing out there. 3 below at O'Hare. I woke up in the middle of the night worrying about my cat colony! I'm sure they'll be fine, but I wish I knew for sure that the kennel heating pads are still working ok. I hate to take the roofs off the feral villas to check, because I don't want to freak out any cats that might be snoozing in them. I'll just have to hope for the best.
I had a wonderful, quiet weekend. I have always been a homebody, but the older I get the more I love to hang out at home. Yesterday I made taco soup and roasted a chicken. I did laundry and putzed around. Did a lot of relaxing in the lazyboy -- I should call it lazygirl. Watched the long-awaited first episode of Season 5 of Downtown Abbey. It started a little slow, but ended up being very good. I love that series!
I hate the thought of slogging through the snow to the train, but I really want to get my walking in this week. I may take the bus to the el on Wednesday morning, though. It is supposed to be 12 below zero in the morning. I am flirting with the idea of staying home if it's that cold! I'm a wuss.
My food intake has been just "OK", nothing stellar. I have realized that I can't be trusted around a block of cheese. I have a couple of recipes that I will be making that call for shredded cheese, and I know that hand-shredding a block of cheese tastes so much better. But I have already hacked off several hunks of the block of cheese to nibble on, it's probably about half gone. Sigh.
Because I am cold and rather depressed about winter right now, I will post a picture that makes me feel a bit warmer. Our granddaughter, Lily, and her kiddie pool. Ahhhhhhh I wish I could time travel right through January and into July.
