Winter adjustments

It's been very cold the last two days so I've only made it 4 miles each day.  Yesterday I had a hard time warming back up so I (so tough) had to go sit in the hot tub for a while.  I tried to read my trashy novel in there but my hands kept freezing when they were out of the water too long.  Today starts the last week of work for me and I am very excited about it.  I really enjoy my weekends and am looking forward to having them all week long now.  I've been mapping out my day, am planning to walk later in the day when it is warmer in winter, and read first thing, then read again after walking.  I am taking classes this January in Medieval Europe and Wars of Religion, two of my favorite topics.  I have lots of books on this period so I am excited to be studying it in a formal sense.  Life is really good.

I have a hard time with the concept of turning the clock back and discovered that this year I was way off in my assumption of what time it would be light out again.  I was very surprised and happy to learn that it is light out by 6 am again so when I wake up in the morning I don't have to sit in the dark so long.  Oh, the trials of being an early riser! But I did decide it is simply too cold to walk this early and I am looking forward to walking after the sun warms things up a bit.  It will be an adjustment for the marshmallow too but I think she will get used to it alright.
