Spring is here and showed up with 20F degrees in its luggage this morning.\u00a0 I said it could stay only for a day if that’s its agenda because I’m not putting up with it any longer.\u00a0 We’ll see what happens tomorrow.\u00a0 There may be a call placed to Summer.<\/p>\n

Last night I decided that I would sleep in today and see how my legs felt in the morning.\u00a0 I slept in till 8am!\u00a0 And while I would love to say my rest was glorious, it was not.\u00a0 Peaceful sleep was foiled by an active husband.\u00a0 And by active, I mean snoring and rolling around like he was fighting off a bear.\u00a0 It’s all good though, I know he won’t do it again tonight. :eyebrow:<\/p>\n

I chilled this morning and pretty much decided I shouldn’t run.\u00a0 Oh I wanted to run it is a beautiful day!\u00a0 But I know my legs just need a rest.\u00a0 When I headed outside for Rocky’s morning constitutional, I was greeted by frickin’ cold weather.\u00a0 No seriously, it was in the 20s and windy.\u00a0 Crazy!\u00a0 The thought of layering up for a run was not appealing so it sort of reinforced my decision for a rest day.\u00a0 I came back in and had some coffee.<\/p>\n

\"wake

wake up <\/p><\/div>\n

I wasn’t quite hungry yet, so coffee was a good start.\u00a0 I putzed around and did some bloggy stuff.\u00a0 And then the roof guy came.\u00a0 Last December we had a really bad windstorm and lost some roof tiles.\u00a0 We had someone come out to take a look and they said our roof was damaged and needing replaced.\u00a0 Called insurance company who took a look and agreed.\u00a0 Roof company faxed estimate to insurance company, we came to an agreement and that left us waiting for a new roof.\u00a0 Because you really shouldn’t put a new roof up in cold weather, it should be much warmer.<\/p>\n

Scott called the roof company this week to have them get the ball rolling on the replacement.\u00a0 The person who answered the phone said that our estimate was from a long time ago and rates have gone up since then and blah blah blah.<\/p>\n

I called BS right away.\u00a0 We set a time for the guy to come out and do a “re-eval”.\u00a0 Which brings us to today.\u00a0 He said the estimate stands (of course, because they don’t want to lose business)and so we got the ball rolling on getting our roof done.\u00a0 Step one in helping our house not look like it is straight out of 1973.\u00a0 Seriously, the color choices on the outside are gross brown blah.\u00a0 And the house was built in ’92 so I do not understand this brown\/beige color scheme.<\/p>\n

Anyways, that’s done.\u00a0 After roof guy left I could finally make some breakfast!<\/p>\n

\"fruit,

fruit, protein, carbs, perfect <\/p><\/div>\n

Which was light and awesome.\u00a0 A small red delicious cubed, a bit of 2% fage, drizzle maple syrup, and small sprinkling of fruit and nut bear naked.\u00a0 Mixed and eaten, YUM!\u00a0 So good!<\/p>\n

After breakfast I cleaned the house.\u00a0 Not organized but you know, weekly scrub down of the kitchen and baths.\u00a0 Then it was time for some lunch.\u00a0 I wanted veggies and I wanted some umph today.<\/p>\n

\"veg

veg out <\/p><\/div>\n

Mixed greens and spinach topped with some curry chickpea salad (recipe soon) and some pieces of rotisserie chicken I pulled from the freezer.<\/p>\n

\"tagalongs

tagalongs <\/p><\/div>\n

On the side was an orange and a piece of the bread from that veggie roll from last night.\u00a0 I ate my orange and salad but not the bread.<\/p>\n

\"all

all together <\/p><\/div>\n

Everything was yummy and totally satisfying.\u00a0 It hit the spot and I feel like today is off to a much better start than yesterday.<\/p>\n

Going up and down the stairs as I cleaned today confirmed that a rest day was indeed the right choice.<\/p>\n
