<p>Morning peeps.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I am up bright and early working at home rather than running.  I have my first interval workout and decided to wait until the sun rises to hit the streets since it is still pretty icy out there.  I just really didn't want to have to attempt .5 mile repeats on the treadmill if possible.  Hopefully the temps will be bearable in an hour or so.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Other than that, it should be a relatively uneventful day for me today.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>TTYL.</p>

<p>-5 this morning.  Gah.  I know I shouldn't complain because we've had such a mild winter, but I am just not a -5 kind of girl.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>BUT...guess who picked up a space heater for her office?????  I am roasty toasty with it whirring under my desk. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>Now I just need to make sure my boots don't melt off my feet.</p>

<p><strong>Mindi</strong> - we went to the Lowry Park Zoo when we took the kids to FL last year.  It was a fantastic zoo - we had as much fun as the kids.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Here's DS in one of the bird exhibits - look away <strong>Maria</strong>!</p>

<p>And DD petting the stingrays.  This one would wave his flaps and splash you if you didn't pet him.</p>

<p>Hey <strong>Kath</strong> - this was Daisy over vacation.  She was determined to share the loveseat with me and them promptly fell asleep sitting up.</p>

Dillon has had 2 chemo treatments thus far and is doing well + we found that by lacing his food with tuna juices he'll eat it.  When I went to pick him up on Monday after his treatment he'd gained a few ounces ... this is big!    We have to jam his daily pills down his throat, well jam is probably harsh but we do have to force them down but other than that he's a very compliant patient.  As for my pops, he starts chemo again tomorrow under the care of his new oncologist; this will be a new drug and we're all very hopeful including dad.  He continues to be in great spirits although sorely missing any exercise or sustained activity.</p>

As long as you're sharing 30s mojo, I'd like to borrow some for my co-worker Colleen.  She is the girl who has been fighting breast cancer for the last 4 years.  It was diagnosed while she was pregnant and recurred 2 years ago in her lungs.  Well, the latest is that they have found some brain mets.  She had a gamma knife treatment about a month ago that was supposed to get it all, but she has just told us that they found 6-7 more spots this week.  So now she has to have daily brain radiation for a while.  She's fighting as hard as she can, but it's getting harder.  Sometimes I just wonder how this can be part of life's plan.</p>
