Good day! Today I was busy and active and full of piss and vigor! I woke up about 930am and immediately wrote my morning pages. In the beginning, write 3 pages longhand made my hand cramp and I had a hard time writing. Lots of thinking about what to write and a lot of times I wrote "I do not know what to write.". But by today, my hand doesn't cramp and the writing is easier, for the most part. It is supposed to be a stream of conscious, writing what comes to mind. You put it away and don't reread it. It is like a creative jump start for your morning, get your juices flowing. It sure worked for me today!
I got dressed right after I was done and took the dogs out. Now we have been having below freezing temperatures here in Colorado Springs, Colorado. All my cats are inside and the dogs have been cooped up. The dogs would get to go outside and would not run out and play. It was do your business and get back in. But today, our temperatures got up to the high 30s and the sun was shining. The ice was melting and the snow was disappearing so the dogs got some quality time outside. Since it is still below freezing at night, I decided to keep all 6 cats in the house one more day. 2 of my cats complained by 1. spraying the trash can and 2. peeing on the rug. These are my two cats that practically live outside during the summer, rarely come back inside. If it is nice out tomorrow, I'm kicking both their asses outside!
I spent the day working on what I confidently call my mutant bulldog toy. It is a present for my parents as they raise and show bulldogs. I bought the pattern on Etsy a couple of years ago and finally got around to attempting to make it. I call in a mutant bulldog because I got a little carried away with stuffing the body. There is only a picture of the finished toy so I wasn't quite sure how it was supposed to look. I realize now that the body is kind of long for a bulldog and the face is little small. But I have been working on it all day and I only have to make the wrinkle for the nose, the chin and the ears for the head. Then I need to make the legs and the feet. My parents have 3 bulldogs and I plan on making 3 stuffed toys for them and the other two should come out a little better. But I will only have the one done for Christmas. I have another crochet project to do for Christmas too.
And I am getting active! Tonight, before bed, I will be on the treadmill, yeah! I plan on doing 20 minutes or longer. A slow walk but a walk nevertheless. And I am going to try to do it every day now that I am making a habit of getting dressed and getting downstairs. And I was active during the day, having to walk up and down the stairs every couple of hours, or every hour at some points, to let the dogs in and out. And if I can't do 20 minutes, I heard that exercising for 10 at a time, 3 times a day, is the same as walking for 30 minutes at one time. So I have several ways to approach this exercise thingy. Creative thinking.
