A Week In

Here we are the end of the first week of the new year. Things have been nice and quiet and I am enjoying being able to sleep--I am taking this in as who knows when my next bout of insomnia will arrive. All is quiet on the home front and I have one of my organizational tasks complete, the hall closet. That closet was the 'catch all' for stuff I didn't know where to put, no longer the case!! Next up is the spare bedroom although I am struggling with what I want that space to be.

Still recovering from being sick so the exercise hasn't happened yet BUT I have taken steps to improve my eating and definitely cutting out the snacking and the amount. Working on making sure I have breakfast and that it is a healthy one- ie. no bagels or egg mcmuffins. My friend has me trying these protein shakes and so far that is working on satisfying my hunger to carry me to lunch.

Weather wise it has turned cold but still no snow, it is a grey day today but I believe rain is in the forecast. Don't mind the cold but wish the sun would pop out as it certainly makes a difference in mood. Wonder if we will get blasted by a big snowstorm or if we will end up with just a few flurries here and there, last year was a green Christmas and then come January we got it good.

I am adding to my little family and will be picking out my new puppy. I will be bringing home a little bundle of chocolate the middle of February, yep going back to a Labrador Retriever but this time a female.  I am getting excited, they are 4 weeks old right now and I choose mine the end of this month. She will stay up there for another two weeks and participate in a Best Start program to do some basic training and then home to me and the meow monster. It will be fun to have a walking buddy and I have such grand plans for us this summer. Not to mention a great subject for my photos and testing of the camera :)  I think her puppy hood is going to be well documented.
