It always seems that the weekends are much too short and the weeks are much too long. This week is going to be especially difficult, with several evening meetings. It was 12 degrees on the way to work, but we did have a little sunshine. My back is aching again dreadfully this evening. Wish I could go to sleep, wake up and have it be spring!

Tried to have a good start to the day with some greek yogurt, but I kid you not, it tasted exactly like vomit and I threw it away after one taste. The healthy living resolutions for this year have not had a good start at all. I am keeping up with regular yoga three to four times a week, but that’s all I’ve been able to accomplish.
