Good morning! It's 13°F so far here in the Souhegan Valley. I've dropped the girls off at school and will be VPN'd into work for most of the day. I know: lather, rinse, repeat. ☺.
Rapid fire lunch break with Michelle. Lunch at Cafe on the Oval, coffees from Donut Fresh Express, stopped by the pharmacy for Michelle, grocery for some milk, and the car wash for my Jetta. All in 1 hour! PS. Who knew I had a red car underneath the salt?
Michelle took Claire for a doctor appointment, and yet Michelle ends up walking out with an H1N1 vaccination.
Phew! I went to my usual Step & abs class. I stayed afterwards for the strength/toning class after it. I. Am. Wiped. Out!! I am so ready to eat a belated dinner. Hopefully it'll get easier if I can keep it up. I had backed off my routine a bit when Michelle first got her cancer diagnosis. Now that I can see a light at the end, I'm trying to get back to where I was.
Good night all!
