So after two weeks, two things have become clear. I still suck at housework and getting up at 4:45AM still sucks.
However, I do have to admit that getting up this morning was just a tad easier than it has been the past two weeks. Now it may have something to do with the fact that I picked up a new pair of VFF Treks yesterday and was extremely eager to take them out for a spin.
I also think that I am slowly adjusting to the early wake up call. I actually turned off the television last night at 10:45 anticipating the morning run.
The run? It was fabulous. The weather app on my phone said it felt like 27°. I put on my shorts, slipped into the new Treks and I was off. My toes stayed toasty warm for the whole run, which does not happen with my regular VFF KSO’s. 7.7 miles in the pre-dawn darkness in just under an hour and I loved every minute of it. I understand now why Pigtailsflying runs when she runs.
As for the cleaning? Well, 2 weeks in I still suck at it, but Operation De-Clutter is moving ahead – slooooooowly, but ahead. Maybe, just maybe, I’ll have this house in order by Spring.
