Remember on Friday when I said I'd be snowed in for the weekend? Well. I was. Turns out when I moved down here, the WNY weather decided to follow. Unfortunately, the WNY snowplows, salt trucks and DOT workers didn't. I haven't been to work since Friday afternoon and we're expecting more snow tonight through tomorrow. (I really do have a job here, I swear!)
Pardon the short blog, I just wanted to let everyone know that we're all okay down here! Avon Walk training has taken a backseat to other activities (excessive amounts of TV watching, pee clean-up, sudoku puzzles, baking, following Leo around with a camera, reorganizing closets, etc...)
I've also been nursing my arm - an MD diagnosed case of tendinitis. I've been loading up on Aleve but the pressure, pain and tingling hasn't gotten better. I've never had tendinitis before, but the supposed culprit - you guessed it - GYMNASTICS! While I really want to go back, it looks like my days on the cushioned floor and uneven bars are over - for now. Maybe I'll give it another go-round over the summer.
So, when I'm not doing these mundane things, I've been crossing the street into Pentagon Row. Thank goodness for the presence of a Starbucks, home of the most expensive and disgusting coffee in the world - at least it's given me a way to get out and be with fellow humans! (& I love tea, so it's still a win-win.)
Check out some pictures from my last 4 days at home...
The line at Harris Teeter (the VA version of Tops) on Friday 2/5, a little after noon. I stood in line for 30 minutes. Care to know what I stocked up on? Bagels, waffles, cheez-its (the party mix), milk, and frozen pizza. Of course when the power went out on Saturday, much of my goods went right up to the rooftop to stay cool!
Leo in the snow on Saturday, 2/6.
Leo spent our time in the snow running up and down a hill at the back of the apartment. I think his tunneling instincts kicked in. :)
This is a night shot of the Pentagon Row Ice-Rink.
The first of many shots of Leo I took while stuck in the apartment. I think he enjoys modeling. This is his Are you talking to me? face.
Act natural, Leo!
This is the Adorably Confused look. I think he's perfected it.
For those of you who actually had to go to work this week, tomorrow is Wednesday, so only a few days left! And, well, I can only take hearing Cupid by Sam Cooke for so long so I'm heading back home! Will I return to work tomorrow? Who knows... check back to find out!
