I just want to watch the local news but there's some parade going on and some big fuss about something else. AUGH!!! I didn't watch the inauguration. I watched an Eric Clapton concert that I recorded last year (I could watch that a zillion times), then watched the Blues Brothers movie. That, OK, I don't need to see again. I went to the post office in AuSable to send out the last of Christmas, so it's over, all over.
What I did that was really great today was meet a friend at the fitness center in AuSable at 6:45 this morning and walk on a treadmill for more than half an hour. The 2 other people there were using treadmills at a much faster speed, but I felt good doing what I did. I liked it and only my knees were sore. I can't go very fast because of my asthma but that may change as time goes by. It was nice this morning though I didn't want to get up. My friend is there at 6:30, she works in Lake Placid and goes before work so that's the time to be there with her. That's fine, I like getting up early, but boy is it dark on the roads at 6:15.
It's too warm here, temp now is 30, with a high today of 36. As much as I suffer when it's -10 I'd rather have something akin to normal January weather. There's barely any snow, which again makes me nervous. Snow cover is important--it insulates septic systems and melts into great ground water in my well. No big snow on the horizon, either, maybe a few inches next week.
I have no great or deep philosophical observations about today. I'm afraid of what will happen in the next 4 years, but like my friends the Holts I have just the smallest amount of hope and optimism that something good might happen. Something small, maybe, but something. Let's hope.
