...FROST POSSIBLE SUNDAY NIGHT...

A SIGNIFICANT FROST IS POSSIBLE LATE SUNDAY NIGHT AND MONDAY MORNING AS A COLD HIGH PRESSURE CENTER SETTLES INTO THE REGION. TEMPERATURES WILL FALL INTO THE 30S ACROSS MUCH OF NORTH TEXAS SUNDAY NIGHT DUE TO VERY LIGHT WINDS AND CLEAR SKIES.

WHILE AIR TEMPERATURES WILL REMAIN ABOVE FREEZING AT MOST LOCATIONS... FROST CAN FORM AT TEMPERATURES AS WARM AS 38 DEGREES UNDER THE RIGHT CONDITIONS. FROST CAN DAMAGE OR KILL COLD SENSITIVE VEGETATION THAT HAS NOT BEEN PROTECTED. RESIDENTS SHOULD PREPARE TO PROTECT ANY TENDER PLANTS THAT HAVE RECENTLY BLOOMED OR BEEN PLANTED. COVERING THEM WITH A LIGHT BLANKET OR MOVING THEM BENEATH A COVERED PORCH SHOULD PROVIDE ENOUGH PROTECTION FROM THIS LATE SEASON COLD SPELL.

Saturday Work Woes

Yesterday the power was still off at work. They shut down the building and the office staff didn't have to work. Yesterday was my day off, so I wasn't scheduled to work anyway.

Today I'm scheduled. 7am-6pm. I was told yesterday that if if the power is still off then I'm to report to the Dallas shop "to see how it's done over there."

I am a sad panda.

Here's to hoping that the power is back on at work. This may be one of the few times that I hope for such thing.

Work

Can die in a flaming fire today.

I'm too tired to write any more than that.

Taking a nap now. Why? Because I'm home an hour early from work and because I can.

Energize Me

This really is the worst week for me to even consider this concept, but I really am hankering for physical activity. I've been way too sedentary and I know this is starting to have a serious effect on so many aspects of my life. I'm depressed, I'm moody, I'm always tired and lazy, not to mention the feeling of orca blubberness I have for my body right now (yes I like my ass and I like my boobs and I like my profile curves, but I REALLY miss my seeing my abs and being able to tie my shoes without my belly getting in the way).

Listening to certain types of music makes me want to get up and dance, but I'm usually stuck at a computer. My new work schedule has me getting tired by 10pm so going out to The Church hasn't been very high on my list of things-to-do-today. I want to find a place where I can lay out a floor mat and get back into practicing hand stands for hours on end without having to pay an arm and leg for some class. I want an adult-sized old-fashioned metal (none of this plastic and wooden crap) monkey bars that I can climb around on. I want to dig my bicycle out of my parents' garage, fix it up and go riding around for a couple hours. I don't feel like jogging and I don't feel like joining a gym. I hate normal workout routines. I can maybe do some sit-ups, but that's about all I can stand. I'll still sometimes randomly do about 20 jumping jacks. At least it's something and better than nothing.

I still need to buy a jump rope for when I'm alone at work. I'll just keep reminding myself until my brain decides to remind me in conjunction with having time available to go and make such a purchase.
