I can’t believe this weather! Yesterday it was sunny and 0 degrees. Today it’s -30 with the windchill. I’m so tired of the cold now. I’m usually one of those crazy people that prefers the cold winter weather (I hate being hot), but even I’m sick of the crappy weather. And there’s sooooooo much snow. When will it be spring?
This Thursday we have an appointment with the folks at the Genetics Department at the hospital. I have no idea what to expect. I’m not sure there’s a lot they can tell us about Marek. Or maybe they found something. I don’t know. I guess I’ll just have to wait and see. I’m not even sure what I want them to say.
I’m still working out on the elliptical almost every day. It’s kind of neat because I compete with myself to get better ’scores’ (as counted in either calories burned or distance). I’m now at a point where I can work out for 45 minutes without feeling like I’m throw up or pass out or something. And it’s funny – there’s a comedian, John Pinette, who talks about the chant he uses when he’s on the elliptical (“Raviolis and a nap, raviolis and a nap” – his reward if he survives the workout) and I’ve discovered that that chant is perfect for my rhythm. Fortunately, it doesn’t suit my attitude anymore. I’m actually enjoying the crazy workouts. Hopefully that’s a good sign that I’ll keep it up. I’m seeing results in my blood pressure, so that’s keeping me motivated too. What else am I supposed to do when it’s blizzardy outside?
