Well, hope everyone is managing the spreadsheet transition just fine..... :blushing:

We're getting the mother of all snowstorms today. I can't believe we're getting *MORE SNOW*. We're running out of places to put it all!!! I can no longer see out of my windows in my apartment! I'm starting to feel a little like Jack Nicholson in The Shining! :laugh::laugh:

I managed to get a 1.1 mile walk in at work this afternoon right as the rain was turning to snow and starting to get super slick. I managed to finish without doing a digger into the pavement in front of all the windows of the office. :laugh:

Yes...I am at the point of resigning myself to laughing at the weather. It's really not going to do any good whatsoever to complain or get mad about it. *shrug* It is what it is. Besides, it kinda takes me back to when I was a little kid and how much I loved winter and playing in the snow. I still like it quite a bit....and I still enjoy playing in it too. But it won't be much longer and I'm going to start yearning to throw a leg over my Harley and hit the road and then the snow must go. Right now, I just hope that happens before August. :laugh::laugh::laugh:

Hope you're all doing well. :flowerforyou:

Needed the sleep last night, so I decided to wait and post this morning. Added 5 miles yesterday. :bigsmile: :bigsmile: Looks like my short term goal is to get into the blue again :blushing: Oh Well :laugh:

February total 32.5 miles

Hi. I only have 3 miles to hit my February goal. I just had dental surgery Tuesday night and I am not supposed to exercise or "Move My @ss" for a few days. Please do not kick me out of this wonderful group.

Stacey

Stacey - Don't sweat it. We don't kick people out for that kind of stuff. Everyone needs time off from time to time. Life is full of crystal balls, rubber balls and nerf balls. How you juggle those makes all the difference in the world. Your health is a crystal ball and can't afford to be dropped. Exercise is a rubber ball and can on occasion be dropped. Just pick it back up when it bounces back. Some things in life are nerf balls like concert you wanted to go to. It would be nice if you could keep juggling them but it's no big deal if they fall and roll away. So, take care of that crystal ball and start up again when you can.

Thanks, It's been a rough couple of days. I am getting stir crazy around here. I loved the ball analogy. I have never heard it put in such a way. It did made me :happy: smile so I thank you for that.

DEAN, first of all, thank you so much for responding to Stacey! I saw her message earlier when I was updating but just didn't have time to respond right then so I really super appreciate it! And secondly, love the analogy! Haven't ever heard the "drop the ball" or "juggling" ever described quite like that! Most excellent. :drinker::drinker:

But yes, STACEY...please don't be concerned we might boot you. Not. Gonna. Happen. I'm THRILLED to hear you're enjoying this challenge and it's working for you! I love hearing when people find it beneficial!! :flowerforyou:
