snow daze

we have more floof and i am unable to be out in it and enjoying it because three days ago (or two, who knows), i did far too much romping and twisting and running around with the dogs in snowboots that i didn't bother closing up all the way (i'm calling them my snow flipflops). anyway, all of that resulted in me twisting my back to the point i was out of commission for two days. boo. 

i really need to work on my core. feh.

today is going to be a pivotal day: i feel MUCH better, but i still need to take it easy, otherwise i'll just be back in the same sitch as two days ago where i'm hobbling around feeling pathetic and sorry for myself. don't like, would not recommend.

word on the street is that someone is writing up an offer on cali house. i will believe it when i see it....and won't really believe our house will sell until escrow closes and we get dollars in the bank account. on the real estate front, i'm feeling pretty jaded. 

it will be so nice to get that weight off our shoulders — that way we can make room for new things to be on our shoulders, right?

i'm trying to embrace this winter as a time and place of quiet and gentleness. i KNOW it's not a good thing to be constantly go go go go until you get so physically and mentally exhausted that you need a long period of recovery to get back to a position where you are go go go go again. that was my life as a teacher and i never want to go back to that.
