Getting Back on Schedule

This week is just dragging along. It is only Wednesday, but even yesterday felt like Thursday. I have started to go back to working out at the YMCA almost every day. The boy is getting better about being dropped off at their child care, he doesn't scream and cry, he walks right through the gate and stands by the workers there. He must be starting to make a connection with entering the building with having fun with coloring and in the mini gym, and the many other things they have for them to do.

My moods are better on the days I exercise, and this is why I try to go every day. I have been doing a lot of classes, like mat pilates and walking the treadmill or riding a bike. I am also getting back to do the weight lifting. I think it may be the yoga and pilates, but I am definitely getting some definition in my upper arms, when I flex, the muscle actually moves and becomes firmer.

The weather here has been pretty bad, very low temperatures and over the last couple days, we have quite a bit of snowfall. This hinders my desire to leave the house, and so I missed Monday. Before that, I had been every day between Wednesday and Sunday.

For Christmas, my MIL asked for table runners for each season/occasion, and I have bought some material to make them. I finished a Valentines Day and two identical Christmas runners two weeks ago with my mom. I really like both, and am tempted to keep them. On Christmas, she did receive some for winter, Christmas and Thanksgiving. Since I had already bought the material, I went ahead and made them. I will still give her one of the Christmas ones since she has a side table that could use one as well. I don't know who I will give the other to, I already have two and don't need any more, but of course I could replace the one that I don't care for as much. MIL's birthday is coming up in the beginning of March so I have some time to make a few more. I would like to get photos up on my websites, just haven't gotten around to doing it.

I had only a so-so birthday. I had wanted to go to a dueling piano bar on their birthday night (a Tuesday) but not many people were able to make it. I really wanted my sister to come, but she can't do things like that during the week. I told everyone that I would reschedule to later in January, but I don't think I will. I am also thinking of going to that adult arcade and bowling club, but I can't remember the name of it. I guess I am a little disappointed, and that will keep me from planning anything else. Besides that, my sister probably won't go to the piano bar even if she is available and has a sitter, she has been before and didn't care for it.
