Sorry Lucky Star fans. I tried to play with him tonight. I was not dressed for success. I had only one layer of work clothes on. I did switch into my wonderful Muckboots (they now have purple Muckboots with which I am totally in love with.) with the Toasty Sole heat generating insoles, but it wasn’t enough. I got cold at work this afternoon, warmed up in the ride home and was determined to get on with the Lucky Star and Susan “playland”, but I got cold on the walk to the barn. I fed the beautiful horses, watered them in their electric heated buckets and headed for the house. I really hate to get cold.
What I need to do is get home a little earlier than 7:00pm and already have all my warm layers on. Getting cold early in the process of going over to Pine Dell Farm in the cold did me in.
So, I worked on my book. Here’s the story about the book. It’s coming along! If I keep the book open and ready to dive into, I sit down and write. If I tell the book to go into the file and wait for me, it’s a lot of effort on my part to find it and then open it up to the story that I’m working on.
So while I’m telling you how weak I am, I’ll tell you that I’m going to keep the book open so I can just sit down an immediately write and wear my 14 layers of winter wear to and from work. It only takes me about 10 minutes to get ready to come from work when I’m all dressed up in my layers. I always put on scarves and hats and cover my face hoping no one recognizes me. “I, it’s your co-worker, the wooly mammoth. I engage in outdoor activities during the winter nights. Yes, I am crazy. Don’t tell anyone else that you saw me like this!”
New Year’s Resolution Time-dress warm and keep writing!
