Forsythia In the spirit of Spring, the weather has been wild this week. Today and yesterday have been very blustery days and chilly. I love it. I should get decent sunglasses. My eyes were watering from the wind and brightness at the beginning of my walk. Today maybe I’ll remember sunglasses.

So it’s been about a month since I started walking regularly. I’m walking for a half hour 5 times a week now and it’s a very good thing. I’m no longer getting that bizarre spacey feeling after every walk. I am having some really great other beneficial effects. I feel like I have muscles in my legs again! I can actually feel them when I’m walking now. My body has come to the realization, “Oh she’s actually going to stick to this. I guess we’d better get conditioned for it.” I’m still trying not to over-do it but my back (and its general malaise of aches and pains) appears to be doing better with the exercise. These are all big “well duh” items, I know, but they’re still exciting.

I went to bed reeeeeealy early last night, 9:30. I watched a bit of tv then rolled over and was asleep shortly after 11. This morning I could not get out of bed probably due to the wonderful warm quality of my blankets versus the chilly quality of the rest of the house. I’m very much looking forward to a relaxing weekend of sleeping in.
