So many things lead to this point in time. Tonight/tomorrow we are expecting snow. Yes, snow in April. Not only are we expecting snow, but we are expecting accumulation of several inches. Last weekend we were outside spraying each other with the garden hose! Last weekend I rode my bike on the trail. Monday just past, it was in the 90s for the Boston Marathon. Tomorrow, parts of PA and NY are going to get over a foot of snow. I am thankful I spent most of last weekend outdoors. Just as my title says, savor the moment. Who knows what tomorrow will bring.
Exercise. Many of us take it for granted. Many of us don’t do it. We always say we will. But we never seem to start or if we do, we don’t continue. There is always tomorrow, or is there? My hip is continuing to get worse. I am still able to get about and I could still probably run or cycle but the payback pain isn’t worth it. We walked for 3 hours with the kids at the mall on Saturday. Today I struggled to walk around the supermarket. For those who keep saying they will start tomorrow, my advice to you is start today and enjoy every moment of it. I had hoped to train for my third marathon this summer and perhaps get a couple of short distance triathlons in. Now I am wondering if I will be spending my summer recovering from surgery. For those who can, savor the moment.
And how am I doing with the spring cleaning? I devoured a bottle of wine on Friday night. Not very pleased with myself for doing this but one slip up in about 3 weeks is pretty good. I fought the temptation to refill my Ambien prescription today. I have no reason to do this. I don’t seem to need it right now and it wreaks havoc with my short-term memory. It makes me sleep like a baby though! Migraines/headaches have been responding well to Zomig and nothing has escalated to the point of requiring intervention from a health care provider. This is good news. Perhaps I am finally outgrowing my migraines!
Tomorrow it is back into the battle zone at work, but I do actually practice what I preach. We had a fabulous weekend with the kids, even though the weather was miserable. Littlest one fell asleep before 10 PM tonight which is a miracle! Now I am going to savor some moments of responsibility-free time.
