Hibernation

Or, what I wish I could be doing from now until the end of March. (Maybe you noticed that I wasn't here last week?

It snowed. It froze. It snowed again, and froze harder. Last week there were two days when it was above zero. Other than that it's been low teens and below (a lot below) for weeks. 

Winter came to visit and put in a change of address.

I've been going into work, except for the day that we closed, only because I have kind coworkers who don't want me to ice skate the mile between my house and the office. 

It's when I get home that's the problem. I warm up; I get cozy; I get sleepy. There have been some epic naps, but not as much writing, sewing, or house work as expected, or as planned  (My lists are many, and uncrossed).

I need to get off what my mom would call my widening duff, but it's hard when I feel like a bear who's made the perfect winter bed and doesn't want to leave it.

I feel like you do! Even though it has been warm here and I don't have to go to a job, the urge to snuggle is strong. I am struggling with severe muscle pain (I think from statin drugs), spinal stenosis and arthritis. All of those things benefit from moving around but my body just wants to wrap in a blanket & read, or spend time at my computer.
