Cr@p. I need to bake so I have lots of sweet gooey stuff to eat to make me forget there are 12 more weeks of winter....I have to have chocolate during the snowstorm.

Yeah, yeah, yeah....I know ALL about the blood sugar thing...sorry....this is how I survive the winter....eat sweet gooey stuff. Chocolate covered brocolli anyone? (Get my point?)

It would take motiviation to bake. I think I will just stick my head in the bag of semi sweet chocolate chips....mmmm

I have the worst case of inertia I have ever had. Maybe all I need is a kick in the pants, but, man, nothing seems to make me want to move....not even sweet gooey stuff.

Oh my lord....I can feel this front bearing down on our area....my joints are swelling up, and I feel like a fossil. It is worse than this map shows....ugh.

Yes, even though it is still sunny here, I can feel it coming!
Tomorrow we have 100% chance of precip.

Had to take an Aleve Liquigel today.... I almost went back to bed.

I did lie down for a bit, and did a CE lesson instead.

Eh, I got vertical and did some 'altitude training', for an hour, painting some interior trim that has been languishing with blue tape for 2 weeks now. I have learned to walk around the ladder, and it is getting time to get it out of the hallway one of these days. I remember when it took me a day to paint a room, not two weeks, and more tylenol and celebrex than I care to recall. (No, none of it helped, but I hoped for placebo effect.) What a bummer, I am short of breath!! I am so paaaaaathetically out of shape! I need a drill sargeant. "Yes sir, drill sargeant, sir!" Gosh, if I hired a coach I would have to pay him/her double! I am now twice as hard to move!

Out here in Montana Bitteroot Bill predicted that winter was over, he might be right! I would have to go back about 25 years to see a lean snow winter such as we are having here. I would guess it is hitting the other side of the country with a vengance. My wish for today is for you all to get a huge and lovely chinook wind, but not too fast for I don't wish flooding on any of you. Hang tight my friends.....it has to end sometime, the up side is less pain this winter for me, only twice have my bones and pain level told me something is about to change...I feel blessed!

The HIGH is moving off... and there are FOUR LOWS all over the weather map.

Hang on all you guys with pain issues! The next few days are going to hurt!

I love gooey chocolate desserts too. Couldn't go to sleep last night until I drank hot chocolate.

I am keeping cabin fever at bay (along with my seasonal depressive tendencies) with Vit D. Now that I have increased to 5000 IU daily, I feel so much better cognitively! I have not needed my light visor this winter at all!

Also I am doing my seedlings for the summer gardening plans I have this year, and many have sprouted already (perennials are going first). Today I am transplanting the first variety, which surprisingly sprouted after only 2 days! I expected 3 week wait on these and all of them are going faster than that.

I have portable grow lights that I use indoors. And a cool temp room for them.

Baltimore expecting 1" snow before 10pm tomite,
then 12"-18" by tomorrow afternoon. I've walked to work for 2 days
and shoveled cars, home and work areas in 2 days.
I'm sore and hurt all over. Woke up this a.m. and as I rose to get out of bed,
exclaimed '...ouch !, so sore !, oh, my back, my neck !!..."
Sidewalks are difficult to maneuver, side and cross streets are impossible.
Walking is a balancing act (and I don't have any sense of balance)
Falling is a given. I went down (gently..... kinda) 3 times,
getting here this a.m.
I'm pooped-out !
