Trudging Along

Trudge:

1. Walk slowly and with heavy steps, typically because of exhaustion or harsh conditions.

I feel like I am trudging through this week. And it's only Tuesday. I don't think it is because I am exhausted. And while it is supposed to snow another delightful round this afternoon/tomorrow I don't know that it is because the conditions are particularly harsh.

The trouble with trudging is that it's so easy to continue once you've started. If trudging is getting you where you need to be why would try much harder than that?

My parents were here this past weekend. It was fabulous. It was restful and relaxing. Cozy even. My dad even made me my favorite breakfast ever, the incomparable Jelly-Rollups. He was unimpressed with my frying pan and spatulas as it happens (frying pan too deep and spatula not the right kind) but they were wonderful. And even after they left my house smelled like Jelly-Rollups and that made everything okay. But when the smell dissipated that left me with real life once more and the trudging began.

But today is a good day. It is February 4. Which not only marks 8 years since Husband and I started dating but also the very day that Husband got his first cell phone. There are many things to be thankful for and I just need to put a little pep in my step to really enjoy.

So I am going to! I am going to ignore the fact I'll need to shovel in a few hours and I am going to just enjoy the afternoon. I am going to Tigger my way through this week--that means I am going to bounce. Probably more figuratively than literally but you never know.

It's a good week ending in THE OLYMPICS and a free delicious work dinner. That's pretty snazzy. (We are going to miss the opening ceremonies for the dinner and we don't have DVR but NBC is going to replay it starting at 12:10 AM so I'm just going to pajama party it in bed and watch it anyway!)
