Look what I found!

Look what survived the snow and ice of the weekend! I took my camera with me out on my walk yesterday. I ended up taking about 10 minutes longer on my walk but I had fun seeking out little crocuses and irises. The tiny irises in the darker picture are just too cute. I’m impressed too – I expected the wee little flowers to be a lot worse for wear after weathering a long, icy, nasty storm. Apparently I should have more faith in the power of adorable early Spring flowers!
The snow is indeed melting again. Quite a bit disappeared yesterday and routed itself to our basement. (Go, go sump pump power! Go, go further procrastinating doing laundry!)
I went through with my plan and cancelled my gym membership. Of course, due to their clever terms of cancellation I end up having the membership through May anyway. Oh well. It doesn’t actually change anything at all! I will be free of my membership soon enough. If the weather gets really nasty this spring, I guess I could go to the gym, but the whole reason I’m cancelling is that I never did get in the groove of going to this gym. (It’s not convenient, close or otherwise conducive to handiness.)
I took today off walking though. I don’t want to over-do it in the beginning and I still feel pretty good today. Tomorrow I’ll be back out at lunchtime though. It’s a great way to break up the day and clear my head in general.
Okay, I also took today off from exercising because all of a sudden I was slammed with work. I got through most of what I needed to get done today but I still have a pretty serious to-do list for tomorrow. Oh, plus breaking the news to the business sponsor of my project that we’re delayed AGAIN due to the project we’re dependent on taking far longer than anticipated to get out the door. I think there was a lack of planning somewhere along the way though not on my part… we’ll see if the business sponsor is okay with the delay. It would not be unreasonable to send us back to the drawing board at this point. Of course, if she did that she’d have to send us back with more money. No one likes doing that! And we’d have already blown the budget if we’d gone with any of our other options. I think our current plan is great and will result in a great tool and build an awesome project management community. I just need the system to get migrated so I can get my ball rolling!
Now I’m clearly rambling because work isn’t all that interesting excepting the pace of it today. Despite feeling pretty good today I’m also feeling pretty tired this evening. I was “on” all day (a feature, given the aforementioned work) and now I seem to be crashing a bit. Perhaps an early dinner and silliness are in order.
Baseball season starts soon. Easter and Passover are both creeping up in appropriately slippered feet. (Easter in bunny slippers of course!) Only 2-3 months more to wait for the iPhone. Flowers survived the snow. Spring just might be on its way.
