Crazy weather....you'd think I was in Texas. The first of the week it was -23 and tonight it is 31! On some of the more heavily traveled roads I actually saw solid yellow and broken white lines tonight (mixed in with slush). There is also a tsunami alert out for much of coastal Alaska...apparently there was an earthquake somewhere in or around Russia which was an 8 on the earthquake scale. This could lead to tsunami in some part of Alaska.
The best laid plans, etc, etc, etc....I didn't finish at work until 7:30, Kathleen has had 10 hours of sleep in the last 72 due to her Urgent Care schedule and Jane passed on waiting for me so we didn't have dinner tonight at our Friday place. I'm really glad, I was just too beat after 11.5 hours of work!
Besides I didn't sleep last night-I was up half the night trying to decide if I was desparate enough to keep the swimsuit I ordered-it arrived yesterday and was just horrible. I didn't want to miss water aerobics because my knees have been absolutely normal until I missed 4 days and the last day they started to hurt again. So, I obsessed: keep the horrible suit, wear the one with the butt worn out, miss aerobics. Finally, I decided to wear the old one and go to aerobics....so, I woke up at 3:30 and couldn't go back to sleep-I guess I was afraid I would miss the class! Good Night!!!! People tell me to watch out for the winter crazies-I don't know if this is what they are talking about but that's pretty crazy!!!
That said-it was heavenly to be back at class!
Tomorrow it is swim suit shopping day-I HATE to shop. Believe it or not it is not that hard to find swim suits in the middle of winter in Alaska-Wall-Mart has them, Fred Myers has them (they just don't have the right size for Goddess sized women). The deal is that tons of people go to Hawaii in the winter-like almost everyone you talk to!
Ok...I've obsessed over the swim suit issue enough. I'm off to my warm bed (well, sort of warm) with a cup of hot tea)!
