Good evening! I drove about a million miles today. OK...maybe not quite. But I'm tired. We did the one trip across NH and started off going the wrong way...so that was long. And it was really, really windy...Van-sama is usually pretty OK in the wind compared to some vans, but it was baaaaad today. Kinda weather that knocks trees down and such. Sunny, but freezing. We stopped for a picnic lunch that was less than successful...ended up hunched together trying to hold paper plates down with our elbows...and it wasn't warm at all. Ugh!
But I got a new belt at the LL Bean outlet and we made it back in decent time.
Then I had to drive out AGAIN to pick up the older younger siblings in White River Junction, just over an hour away if you go fast, which I did. So a couple more hours on the road, fighting the wind all the way. I'm beat!
Hm...wonder if driving in wind burns more calories than usual? Maybe there are benefits...
Sounds like Van-sama got the workout, not you!
Let's see. Today I bought a frying pan, a saucepan, and a large pot at a garage sale - for $1.50. I'll use them until I hate them, and can afford new. I did a new lifting workout that's making me ache all over. Watched "Calendar Girls" with parents and one sister. Before bed, I need to write a little more and finish off the last chapter of "Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban". Man, I'd almost forgotten why this is my absolute favorite Potter novel.
Rosie, I need to get you to read the rest of the books so we can talk about them! Pick up the paperbacks at Borders, or get them from the library, or something!
Rosie, that's like, really far :) Sounds like you had a good workout, though! I hauled several hundred pounds of silt up the hill yesterday, so I counted that as my aerobic workout--in short, I cheated 'cause I'm feeling lazy this week :) I think you're right driving in wind burns more calories than usual--you do mean on a bike, right? :)
