The Early Option

I woke up to go to the bathroom at about 6am. Then went to the guest room. Doug came downstairs about a half hour later to do the same, and he fed the dog. 

At 6:30am.

Like, 2 hours too early. 

So I came out of the bedroom and asked why he did that. "She asked for breakfast, so I fed her," he said. 

I went back to the guest room, he went back upstairs. 6am is my "too early to actually really be awake" hour. And Toffee came back to bed with me. 

I drank a pint of water, and woke up naturally at 7:30, thanks glass of water! An on purpose alarm clock. I knew my day was meetings up the wazoo, so I brewed the coffee, I got on the treadmill, I got that out of the way. 

And then was on my ass except for the hourly steps for the rest of the day. It's nice to pre-load the day with close to 4-5k steps! But at 10pm I was still under 10k (how'd that happen!) so I made up for it and walked around the house. 

Toffee had a serious case of the zoomies tonight. A giant dog like her with the zoomies is a lot of fun but also can be slightly dangerous! She pushed our mattress off the bed by running and jumping on it. She ran down the stairs and crashed at the bottom. She ran back up the stairs and it was like a herd of elephants. 

She's been so cooped up. I keep saying, maybe tomorrow will be a good day for a walk...

Speaking of tomorrow, I'm going to take some time in the afternoon to drive to the clinic for some blood work. I may take the whole afternoon off. 

sigh. 

Here's a picture of the amaryllis we got at Aldi the day before the blizzard. It smells so amazing. Digits, below!
