Sunday Special: Morning Musings
Random thoughts on this snowy Sunday morning.
As I’m writing this, I can see the snow coming down pretty hard outside. There’s supposed to be about 10” of snow for my area of NJ today, and so far it looks like it’s on its way. This is back to back weekends with snow, and I’m not mad about it. It’s the winter and there’s something about having snow on the ground that is comforting. To me at least. I enjoy the cold and snow. It makes the summer that much more bearable. It’s also one of the reasons I like living where I do, we have seasons. This one just happens to be cold and snowy.
Today is also the unofficial last Sunday of the NFL season. I know there is still the Super Bowl in two weeks, but today is the last Sunday with multiple games on until September.
It’s a shame I haven’t gotten to watch a meaningful NFL game in over 10 years because the Jets are terrible. I will get into this more in a later post, but for now, I will just mention it’s hard to pay attention to games when your team is not in it and know they don’t have a chance.
I got some good news on Friday when I had the stitches removed from my ear from the surgery I had the week before. I can start working out again, lightly. It’s better than nothing, so I will be getting back after it tomorrow morning, officially. Shoveling today will be the warm up. I tried to stay active the last week or so but it was hard because I had to keep where the surgery was done dry which means no showering and no sweating. Wearing a hat outside and walking causes me to sweat so I had to take it easy. I think overall I did well.
Previously, when I had gotten into a routine, my body and mental state were disturbed when I had to stop or miss a day. This time was different. Maybe it’s just me getting older and wiser, but I knew how to deal with it. It has actually helped me appreciate that I developed the habit because I missed it. I am looking forward to getting back after it this week and moving forward.
This post, much like many more in the future, did not have a real theme. It was more or less a brain dump for me of things in my head at the time of writing.
I plan to use this space a lot of times just like this post. It serves as a way to think through things and also a way to get things out of my head as almost a journal. It’s what I used to do on the old site and wanted to get back to it. I also have gotten the urge to post more on social media, but we will see if I actually get back to that or not. For now, writing these Sunday morning posts has allowed me to get back to creating and not just consuming which was my original goal of this all along.
Time to go and enjoy the snow.
Until next time.
