Morning Coffee

• It was 81 degrees yesterday.  This morning it's 37 degrees.  So it looks like the mental battle to get out the door for a run is going to get more challenging starting sooner rather than later.  I better track down my mittens and stocking cap at the rate the season is changing around here.

• My sweet little life that I've enjoyed for the past two years is getting screwed with at the beginning of the year.  I had to chose a different shift because someone took mine.  I'm sad and bummed about the whole thing.  The shift I have now fit perfectly with how I operate through the day and now I have to somehow become a morning person.  I definitely will not be able to maintain my morning running schedule, especially as Winter is in full swing in January.  Unless I can somehow manage to get up and out of bed by 5:30 there is no way I'll be running before.  It's kind of like a punch to the gut because I know how much my health and weight loss has hinged on morning runs.  I'm terrified I'm going to become sloth from sheer exhaustion.  I'm a night owl so I'll suffer from lack of sleep most days to start with.  What are the chances after working 10+ hours, I'll feel like running??!!  Seriously bummed, y'all.

• I had lots of work shenanigans ruling my mental state over the past few weeks so I'm glad to say that I've passed one particular hurdle and can do a brain dump and move on.  I'm glad it's over with because I have lots of other things I want to focus on!!

• Since Brent is home we've been working on finding a wedding venue.  We think we've finally narrowed it down and should be making it final either today or tomorrow!  So many ideas are flowing right now, it's kind of scary.
