The New Year

First, let me say without hesitation – 2019 sucked! Completely and totally.

There, I got that off my chest.

Now, about 2020. I’m open to it being better than 2019 was. However, I am not going to get all demanding and insistent. No need to jinx the New Year.

Instead, I’m going to resume my exercise routine, my meditation routine, and continue on with schooling.

Oh, and speaking of school. Somehow I managed to pull off a grade of B- for a class in which I figured was going to be a C- or a D. It was a BEE class (don’t ask me what BEE stands for I am not going to look it up at this time) and I’ve not had good experiences with them. My other class was an A-. It was an FSOS class (Family Social Sciences). The second one I have taken. I seem to do really good in those classes, despite the extensive writing they entail.

Horrible Weather

It is currently raining here in Duluth with 27 mph winds. So, that means despite the rain, the house is dry. As a result, my sinuses are pissed, i.e., causing a headache. And yet I will have to go out into this weather and clear the slush off the driveway before tomorrow’s freeze.

Incremental Marathon

Just Keep Running

It was one month ago today I last did any exercise. I finally stepped onto the treadmill today and did 20 minutes at 5 mph. My heart rate shows I lost conditioning. I didn’t exceed my max heart rate, but I passed aerobic well before 10 minutes of running and spent 14 minutes in the anaerobic range. It looks like I’ll be easing back into rigorous exercising.

Oh, and there will be no statistics today. I’ve got to get ready for work.

Post-Snownami pictures. Per the Duluth Airport, 20 inches fell.

About Education

Yeah, it’s been a while since I elucidated about my ongoing education. I have a critique paper due tonight for my Family Social Science class. I selected my study and read through it last night. Now I just have to write the essay itself. I also had a chapter to read in the text for the class. And a study on ACE (Adverse Childhood Experiences). I have gotten through both of them and did my discussion and response post. Writing the paper will be no problem.

Morning!

Nothing of import to pass on to my faithful readers. I’m just saying good morning. Oh, and finishing up my morning coffee. I guess that’s important.

If it’s not, what are you doing at my blog? Seriously. If coffee is not important to you don’t let the door hit you in the ass on your way out. Well, if blogs had doors.

And if you don’t have an ass – that’s just disconcerting.

Good Morning!

Actually, I’ve not got much to say. Mostly just finishing up my second cup of coffee. Then I’m off to Miller Hill Mall to drop of Tina for work. Oh, and I’m going for a spot of exercise at the Essentia Fitness Center.

You all best behave while I am out and about. No need to be bringing Western Civilization as we know it to an end.

Morning

It has dawned on me that only night people complain about switching back to Standard Daylight Time. Us morning people like having the sunrise shortly after we awake.

I am also aware that only morning people will read this as the dreaded night people are sleeping at the moment. Thankfully. The last thing us cheerful morning people need are cranky, ornery, night people spoiling a perfectly good sunrise with complaining.

Now, if you all will excuse me, I’m going to enjoy my morning coffee and await the sunrise.
