Stepping out

I know I said it yesterday but I'm saying it again today. I wasn't prepared for how quickly I would get bored with being off.  What a difference between only having a week off  knowing you will go back to work and being off for a week with no clue when you'll work again.

Unfortunately I haven't been as ambitious as I had hoped to be. I have spent way too much time doing very little. I need to get myself moving and I'm trying to force myself into making time for exercise. Monday it didn't look too bad out so I went out for a walk.

Some of the sidewalks were shoveled and some not.


Me and my shadow, strolling down the avenue.

These boots were made for walking


The sun was out and the temperature wasn't too bad but there was a wind that had my face feeling a little on the cold side.
Almost home


The final stretch before I reached my driveway.

  3. Lovely bright day, and the sun reflecting off the snow made it even brighter. Bags of fresh air - very good.

  4. yippee... excercise is the only thing that keeps me moving and the more I move the better I feel. do you have a gym or YMCA you could go to? I went 5 days a week from 2006 until 2020 shut us down,

  5. Great idea to get out for a walk. Its so good for you mentally and physically. I love walking in the winter more than the summer when it's hot and humid. Have a great Friday!!

  6. Ann that is true dedication and yay you walking outside on what looks like a very chilly day. I'm such a wimp it has to be above 45 for me to walk outside in the winter or below 75 in the summer
    Hugs to you and Gibbs

  7. I'm glad you got out for a good walk. That makes you tired and ready to be inside for awhile. You'll figure out a good routine my friend!

  10. I bet it felt really good to take a walk and enjoy the outdoors. Sometimes it is good just to rest the first week home...Hopefully next week you will be energized and ready to take on any jobs around the house that you've been wanting to do..

  16. More snow there than we have here, that's for sure. I look out across my patio to brown grass and small snowbanks.
    You need and are allowed adjustment time. ;) *hugs*

  17. Boy you are brave going out in the snow. I'm all for exercise but when it's snowy outside I'll by pass. Love the blue sky in your shots.

  18. I'm sorry to hear that you're so bored. I am the opposite. I love being home and creating stuff. There's gotta be something that interests you unless, could you be depressed over the job thing? Just sorta got the blues?
