Happy Monday everyone... at least that's going to be my mantra today until I really feel it. I slept pretty well last night but woke up tired, so I'm already dragging. I'm grateful the management team is out of the office most of this week so we can just do our things in peace. I actually brought my knitting to work with me and may or may not just sit here and knit. Or I may or may not just sit here.
The ceremony Saturday turned out really nice. SIL's two requests were lots of flowers and the song Amazing Grace: the flowers were lovely with center pieces on all of the tables and the window ledges around the room plus a huge arrangement for the buffet table. Amazing Grace was played by a friend who does the bagpipes, but he was only able to play one verse as he got chocked up and lost his breath. There were around 75 people there, so that was a larger than expected turn out to the point where we ran out of chairs. Lots of funny stories were told, which was a really nice way to celebrate.
Sunday I did go out to my yarn store and did go for a short walk at the state park in the area. While there an eagle flew over head and was calling out, I'm not sure I've ever heard an eagle sing before. It wasn't enough of a walk to consider it exercise, just enough to feed the soul. As those that follow me on IG know, I got some sock yarn I absolutely love and some new needles that make working on the tooth-pick size 1's actually OK. I don' t know why, but I so want a sock drawer of hand knits, and feel like I am finally on my way.
Once again the month has flown by and I haven't accomplished my health goals. I'm going to make February simple... just walk, and walk, and walk. If I get out of the office before 4:30pm, the sun is still just barely up by the time I get home which makes walking in the evening more attractive. And I'm starting my office loops again, so I can back up to a minimum of 10,000 per day. Starting right now....
