Baby, it's cold outside

...but I've got my fuzzy slippers on so to heck with everything else. Actually, it isn't that cold out there at the moment - only about 56 degrees Fahrenheit, but it'll be getting down below freezing later. By then I plan to be snugged up in bed with a good book.

Since I've been feeling the dizzies even more the last few days, I hadn't gotten my walking totals in. My current daily goal is up to 7000 steps a day and this week I've only been doing about 5-6k daily --- previous weeks I'd been doing good about averaging 500 to 1000 steps over my daily goal. The walking program I started 4 weeks ago actually suggested I start at 4k a day and increase 500 each week, but I was already doing over 5k a day so I started there. Today I was so tired after work I almost came home to nap but instead I decided to go ahead and hop down to the mall to force myself to get more walking in to make up some of that slacking I'd been doing :) --- 30 min and about 5k steps there brought my daily total up to about 11k. I feel a lot better, too - still a bit of a headache, but it has been one heck of a week. That does not mean I can slack off the rest of the weekend, though...

Oh, goodness -- I am watching Amnesia while I type up this entry, and the guy that is on tonight is a card. He's dancing in the isolation booth like he is on display. Which I suppose, technically, he is.

At any rate, while I was at the mall I saw the Easter Bunny sitting on his throne, looking very sad. Not one child came to get their picture taken with him while I was watching. You know, that doesn't hurt my sensibilities at all. In fact, it restored my sense of rightness with the world.

It's still Lent, but Happy Easter, y'all.
