Brrrr, it's a brisk one out there again today. It is freezing and I'm tired of it. It's been a very mild winter, really. A giant snowstorm two weeks ago and the snow disappeared 4 days later with rain and warm temps...but we are paying for it now. I so want warm weather to return! I want to walk the dog in the early morning before most people are up and stirring...except for the skunk. Yeah, she is living under the shed. At least I think it's a she...perhaps not. Whatever, last week's warmer weather certainly stirrred her juices and she was spraying under the shed several times during the day...ugh! I sure hope my bike doesn't permanently smell of skunk.
Skunk is my totem, which is funny because I am really afraid of them...well, and bears too, but I have a much less chance of an encounter with a bear in my central Mass home, than the skunk who lives under the shed! It's been a few years since the dog was sprayed, so I'm feeling that we're due any time now, mores the pity. Oh, I have my vinegar douche saved from the last time. Forget about the tomato juice thing...doesn't do much except make your dog smell like skunk spaghetti sauce, which I don't recommend.
The diet is going well, it's not really a diet ...well, it is but it's real life food. Nothing prepackaged, nothing hard, just good wholesome foods...brown rice, beans, veggies, lots of fruit...even the occasional cookie or treat. And I've now lost 3 pounds in just under 2 weeks, which is the biggest yay of all!
Well it's off to the races...this is a running day. A friend posted a bumper sticker that read "If I'm a stay at home mom, why am I always in the car?" which perfectly describes today!
