Coldest Day of the Year......well, at least, so far. Woke up today at 5:30 and went for a jog. I wore a scarf around my neck and a scarf around my mouth so I would not directly be breathing in the frigid air. According to my thermometer, it was 3F outside my house this morning at about 7:45AM. Caitlin and I walked uptown to class and I went up to the parking garage rooftop to take this picture. It was even colder up there and my hands became numb. In the end it wasn't too bad because I was able to thaw out so to speak in the warmth of the music building.
Riley and Hadley have been good and bad so far. Hadley keeps pooping in the house even though I have let them out twice in 12 hours. I know that it is Hadley because there have been little white hairs (she is a white dog) around all the dog feces that I have to eventually pick up. All in all, this doesn't really bother me because I love taking care of these dogs, and, I simply love these dogs. Today I will let them out probably a little before noon and then later before we leave for dinner at around 4 or 5...and, of course, once more before we go to bed (I hoping it will be sometime before midnight).
The older I get, the less I want to stay out. I have never been one for a lot of partying or of night life but I used to be out and clubs and shows more often than now. Perhaps my behavior corresponds to the fact that I'm not playing music in the music scene much anymore or maybe it is because I am just getting more crotchety. Well, I don't think that I'm that crotchety anyways.
I'm looking forward to this weekend. I'll be going to Cincinnati tomorrow and then returning to Athens on Sunday. I'm going to see my parents and get a little homework done while I am there too...maybe even I'll get a free meal out of it too :)
Well that's enough for now...I'm feeling in good spirits today. Even though it is excruciatingly cold outside, at least the sun is out and there is very low cloud coverage.
