White Monday

I woke a little earlier than usual today 1:30am. I did get 4 hours sleep and that is about the max I sleep at any time. After about 15 minutes of contemplating if I should go back to sleep I got up and here we are at the Station to start preparing the first blast of the day.

I expected to see some snow on the ground but its just starting to fall now at 2:30. I know there is a lot of you out there that are fed up with the totals you got already and are saying UNCLE. And for those fighting the ice my heart goes out to you. We have been in those bands before.

Power outages for days in this weather are not nice. I remember one year where the family went to my wife’s parents and I stayed home with the pet. We slept together in front of the fireplace. I miss not having a pet. They are great friends.

I just remembered I haven’t worn my old one piece snowsuit since I lost all this weight. It was difficult to get into before. I’m looking forward to sliding right into it and not struggling to get the zipper up.

Random Thoughts of the Early Morning

  • I love the quiet outside when its snowing. Especially in the middle of the night. I’ll be outside shortly.
  • The first snow cover is when winter is beautiful to me.
  • Doing extra stretching now to get the body ready for the days physical workout.
  • Time to charge the camera batteries and get some breakfast to charge myself.
