These past weeks...
Two weeks, and still a day late. =\
Things have been fairly ok lately. No real issues or crises at work, and with the US holiday today I was even able to take an extra day off (yay 4-day weekend!). I also got an email from the company last week recognizing my anniversary - 25 years - and letting me know about the years-of-service awards that I get to chose from. I'm getting the air fryer - we need a new one anyway, and free is free.
I'm still not back into a rhythm with a lot of things. Posting on time, obviously, but also chores and exercise. I did manage to get my outdoor furniture packed away before the cold set in. But a quick off-schedule check of the scale the other day reminded me just how easy it is to reverse the benefits of exercise by not keeping up with it. Reality check received clearly, and I'll be on the treadmill right after I'm done here. I don't think I'll reach the 30 lb mark by the end of the year like I had hoped, but I'll be close, and still very happy no matter where it ends up.
Curling has been up and down so far. Two weeks ago we won a well-played and competitive match, but last week we just couldn't seem to find any consistency and lost rather badly. This week is our bye week, so I'll be sparing for another team - I usually find that more fun, since I'm not focused on my own place in the standings.
Socially, things have been pretty good too. I'm still going to run club, although after this week I doubt I'll be running anymore (too cold). But I'll keep going during the winter for the hanging out part afterward - it's great getting out of the house once in a while. I've been able to have lunch with my good friend each week, which I very much enjoy. And last Friday, her BF texted me out of the blue and invited me out for a drink before curling. I'll admit, I was somewhat taken aback - he and I have never hung out together before, and my stupid, over-thinking brain was half-expecting there to be a motive for it. But it was just a drink and conversation, and a chill time, and it would be great to do it again.
So that's it for now. Time for a quick run, get cleaned up, and I'm heading out to watch the football game. To everyone in the US, Happy Thanksgiving. And to everyone, have a great week ahead and I'll see you next time. =]
