Just a Busy Time of Year
I never realized how busy this time of year really is since this is the first time in about five years that I have actually had to work during the week between Christmas and the new year. If my job were at a large company where you can put in for vacation time, I'm sure this would be a week that I would request. Since working with the parents in a small company does not offer those benefits, I'm stuck working.
Yesterday was strangely warm for the end of December. Even being sissified, I managed to wear shorts comfortably (along with a hat and gloves). Since my parent's Christmas open house was last night, I managed to get out to run a little bit earlier. Of course, we ate lunch later that usual, making the run much less than pleasant. It wasn't a great run, but that was more or less due to the fact that I thought that I might not make it back before things got really ugly.
This morning I had plans to meet with J, M, and whoever else could make it in the morning. It was damp and a bit rainy, but that was the forecast for all day. This run was terrible, but none of us was feeling all that great. My lack of dinner from last night (there was no cooking, so dinner was a handful of baby carrots and Christmas cookies). I was really toasty, but wearing the extra clothes was basically to stay dry.
This evening, I went to Spinning. There really wasn't a class since the instructor had to miss. We got the room to stay open as long as someone promised to lock up. There wasn't anyone telling everyone what to do, so I pretty much rode at a comfortably hard cadence for the hour. It was supposed to be an introduction to doing two workouts in a day again.

WOW! How do you get through a spin class without an instructor? I would have interpreted that as a sign from above to ditch the spin class and eat extra christmas cookies! I admire your determination and discipline :)
