Weather

Weather has such a big impact on my moods. I often wonder how anyone else gets anything accomplished on gloomy days or when the days get shorter. Doesn't anyone else want to just hibernate all winter?

I'm not even in that much of a winter area these days. Although, the other morning it was 44 degrees and I had to go out in it. It was awful.

Today it's rainy and I'm pretty much done with being productive. I just want to lay around and do nothing. Thankfully my workout is done for the day, but unfortunately, my homework is not. Ugh.

Forget being a meteorologist, I want to be a groundhog.

Crawl out of my hole, look around, if I don't like what I see I'll just crawl back in until it's a more pleasant day. People can feed me and parade me around on tv. I like it.

This morning I found myself driving to the gym, staring through the darkness at the street lights and wondering how on earth I got myself there. I didn't want to go, but there I was, halfway to the gym with a green light in front of me. Amazing.

I warmed up on the stationary bike and then went over to the squat rack. I moved some things around so I could do step-ups. Then I switched to straight legged dead-lifts. Bah, I'm not going to do squats. I'm kinda over it.

Next thing I knew I was doing squats.

I normally do abs on upper body days, so I figured I was off the hook today.

You only ran yesterday. You didn't go to the gym and you didn't do abs. And you ate a ton of cookies at the seminar yesterday.

And then I was doing abs.

I've come to realize that I'm that girl that goes to seminars where they serve a couple snacks of chips, cookies, fruit, cheese and crackers....where everyone puts a couple little tid-bits on their plate.... and mine is full like I'm at an all-you- can-eat buffet. I sat down with my plate next to my friend.

"Dang!" she exclaimed.

Maybe I have a problem. Anyway, I was hungry. I was just coming out of calculus and my lunch was upstairs, and we had a guy from the National Weather Service giving a talk on the forecasting challenges in California. If his presentation from a couple weeks ago for the career panel seminar was any indication, we would not be getting out of there in the allotted hour. I needed food.

So in any case, today I'm pretty burned out on pretty much everything. After the gym I was moseying around the kitchen, making breakfast, thinking of maybe showering, maybe having some more coffee....I looked at the coffee pot and realized- holy crap I have class this morning! No time to shower. Eat and go.

We have a break in between a couple classes and I usually get some work done during that time. Not today. Not interested. Over it.

Today was laundry day. Almost at emergency rations here. Nope. Not happening either.

Sooooo much homework......nope.

Couch and a blankie it is. Goodness. I hope this disappears by finals.
