A Warming Trend

It won't be long and we'll be in the seventies F, and that will be excellent. The snow melted and the impact on the playa lakes has been minimal. We still need quite a lot of rain. It might be somewhat windy today. It will be dry, and it is partly cloudy. More sunshine would be appreciated but at least we have SOME sun. Some sun is better than no sun. I used to be a fan of cloudy days but that all changed years ago. 

Brief Cold SNAP

 Nothing like what we experienced a week ago. I got to the gym and I actually made gains, rather than losing ground. Probably because I worked out a lot with my free weights while I was stuck indoors.

I Had A Lot To Do

 There was a lot of catching up for me to do but I accomplished it all yesterday. I can start getting back to normal in terms of my daily routines and I'm no longer housebound, hemmed in by snow and ice and extreme cold. How I hate winter. 

While I was stuck in the house I exercised more than I normally would, and that was a good thing, at least. I did a lot of jogging indoors, for instance. There are two exercises I just can't do at home: hip adduction and hip abduction, with high resistance, up to 160 lbs.  And there's just no substitute for the gym machine I use for those exercises. 

The Snow Melts Slowly

 More sun today and warmer temps will help the process. I got the car out of the garage yesterday to get some things I ran low on during the siege and put a few miles on it to charge the battery-- cautious miles. I'll try more today, and yet more tomorrow. Winter sucks. 

I will be happy to return to my normal routines. Everything has been disrupted since last week, Friday. 

More Sun Still warming

 The sooner all the snow melts the better. What a lousy weekend. I need things getting back to normal. How I hate winter. The winters seem to be getting worse. The only bright spot is that we needed the precipitation. I wish it had been in the form of rain. Simple rain.
