I am on day five of my mini snow vacation and am starting to get cabin fever.

Part of me wants to enjoy the (much needed) days off, and the other part of me knows that the month is quickly coming to a close with no weather relief in sight. I have exactly 9 days left to complete a 200k ride and I don’t know if I can do it. I haven’t had any vacation or sick time left at work so I’ve been trying to get them in on weekends. There was only one weekend this month that was “warm” enough to ride without facing ice and snow. Worst case senario, Chris and I start over in the new year.

We only have 3 left so this is looking like a disappointment.

Still, not all is bad. Jane and I have holed up for an intense amount of video games, cooking, and painting. I couldn’t ask for a more calm and beautiful week.

Norman and I managed to sneak in a trip up to West Seattle for groceries on Saturday. Everyone else seemed to have the same idea though. It was a complete madhouse. We got what we came for though, and have been cooking amazing meals ever since. I am pretty positive that I’ll end up fatter than I was a week ago. Oh well…
