It’s 57 degrees!!! I went out to run a couple errands this morning and couldn’t wait to get back to the house so we could eat and then take a walk. I was so sad to see a sandstorm coming off of the beach I walk along when I was driving…I don’t think I can go that route for fear that we would be whipped with sand. I haven’t been to visit my Nana yet this week so I actually think I’ll take the inside route and walk to her house instead. I have my windows open to let the fresh air in the house. It’s really hard to believe we are going to be getting ice, rain and snow in less than 48 hours from now.

Mike has been doing most of the morning walks with Bruce these days because of the weather and timing of things (Will needing to eat, etc.) but this morning he needed to get off to work so I took the sunrise stroll. It’s actually going to be a really nice day and it is already pretty pleasant out there. I am definitely going for another long walk today — I’ve already sent out text messages to see if anyone wants to join me! We are expecting a nasty winter storm this weekend so I am getting all the fresh air and exercise I can today and tomorrow. I was able to eat a quick bowl of cereal before I went out there – I really like that Kashi U, it held me over and the taste is good. Besides going for a walk today I am going to try to get some work done so that I don’t have to give up both weekend days to do that. Have a great Friday and weekend to follow!
