Change Is Hard

…but change is certain.

Running today for sure

Early this morning I noitced several plane trails across the sky above the house. I wish I were going somewhere! But I can’t because:

1. I don’t have any disposable income.

2. Travel costs so much more now with the price of fuel.

3. I have 10 yards of wood chips to move

4. I need to get my training run in.

So sadly, I headed out on my 30 minute run. I’m supposed to get two of these completed each week prior to the “LONG” run that I do on Thursday mornings. So far I’m only doing one 30 minute run during the week. I have no excuse, it’s not like I’m employed. So this morning I knew I had to get it moving…Thursday is looming. I wore a hat for the first time ever for this run. I hate hats. But it kept my hair off my neck, and actually turned out OK, so it may become a running staple after all.

Then I moved wood chips. All day. Husband came out during the afternoon and it went much faster after that. But I have over half of the 10 yards still in a heap in my driveway. Wish that I were Samatha Stevens and could wiggle my nose and make them all disappear!

I'm a long time banker having worked in banks since the age of 17. I took a break when I turned 50 and went back to school. I graduated right when the economy took a turn for the worst and after a year of library work found myself unemployed. I was lucky that my previous bank employer wanted me back. So here I am again, a long time banker. Change is hard.

  1. Where in the world are you putting all those wood chips?

    I’m inspired by your running. Pretty much.

  2. We live on an acre and a half. Around the house are quite large beds filled with shrubs and other stuff… Plus beds out in the back yard. I was using regular mulch but it’s very expensive for the amount I need…hence the wood chips…after they are all down I’m going to buy expensive stuff to put a light cover over the chips so it all looks the same. Whew!
