Where's the Beach?

Well, today started off a tad shaky (or chilly) again. Seriously, cold weather and Heather do not mix! After getting dressed and ready for work, I started to take the pups downstairs. I immediately realized that there was no heat drifting up the stairs. It was 15 degrees outside and 55 degrees downstairs. Not good, not good. I pulled out the oil heater and put it in the kitchen with the pups and told Jason about the dire situation. Thankfully there is some sort of switch under the house that he could flip to reset the heater, and thankfully he remembered before calling in backup.

One of those, "should have gone back to bed and started over" kind of mornings. I suppose I need to try to put a positive spin on the incident, so I'll just think of it as bonus cardio. Thankfully the remainder of the day went much smoother. No more lost shoes is a plus in my book. My true cardio today...
