A Late-ish Night

I think I caught a cold, I'm sneezing, sore throat, post-nasal drip. The usual.

This is why I don't go out in public. Too people-y out there, and you catch things. Or maybe it was the fact we had the windows open all night last night and this is an allergy reaction? Our heat kicked on at one point, I heard the blower and thought how's that possible. It isn't that cold yet? But it was. 

The dogs had both Doug and me up at 7-ish, Geoff fed them, Doug took them out. I put on pants and contemplated just getting back into bed. I didn't have a meeting until 11am, so no one would have missed me. But no. Time to make the donuts.

I kind of dragged ass all day and we had a Big Thing to do at 4:30pm. We did it. It didn't go perfectly, so we decided to regroup after an hour and check back in. Perfectly reasonable. I took Toffee for a walk to let things settle, and it was a good walk. We could have gone farther but a half hour is decent and I wanted to get back to do that regroup check in. 

Better than the usual "I only want to do this for 10 minutes" kind of walk. Doug had taken Dahlia the opposite direction about 10 minutes before we left. And then at about 9:30 I realized I needed about 1500 steps to finish the day. Even with the half hour walk. I took the dogs out, we walked around the yard a bunch of times. They wanted to come back in before I wanted to come back in. So I continued my walk. Up to the corner and back is a little over 800-ish steps. Sufficient to finish out the goal for the day. 

Go me.

It was cold today. Compared to this weekend when it was in the 80s both days, I think it was maybe a high of 55 today. It would have been nice if it was cooler on Saturday, I may have gone on the cherry blossom peeping walk that my friend Dennis coordinated. 

But I don't do well walking in the heat, or being in the heat. You've read this blog for a long time. You know that. 

And now I've got a cold or something. 

I was looking at some old pictures. This time last year was Guster in Boston and the year before that was Guster in Huntington NY. I have a picture of Karina Rykman and me, and I think my face looks incredibly different now. I don't think I weighed a lot much more then than now (2023) but. I see some change.

Also Karina is the greatest and you should listen to her music.

Blogger is being stupid and won't let me add a photo so I think I'll be lucky to just post. Maybe my computer is tired, like me.
