So Good, So Cold

Thought long and hard about hitting the pool yesterday because I feel fragile after a two week plus bout with the uncommon cold. Had to remind myself that you don't get a cold because it's cold and, so, I hit the pool after a two week absence.

It felt so good.

Good to see the husband and wife lifeguards, the Russian woman with back pain, the man who gets in lane one and the mother of the little one who takes lessons. Hello...

No climbing today. Didn't venture outdoors after work. Too cold...

Got more officewarming gifts. My office is starting to look tropical. Love the terranium. All of these plants are going to force me to learn more about, well, plants.

State of the Office

Don't ever think that I'll get tired of being able to turn off the lights after lunch and still have an illuminated office.

Having windows has made such a difference. I don't feel as worn down at the end of the day.

Maybe it's the short week. Maybe it's the fact that I'm behind at work because of the lack of computers and phones but the day doesn't seem to drag...

On the other hand, I'll be glad when the yearly evaluation stuff is finished and I'll also be glad when I finish working on a project with an imminent deadline.

Took a solar-powered dancing plant to work yesterday and a real one today. Had real plants in the windowless building but it just seems sweeter to have plants in the new space.
