We were in Springfield, IL last weekend. It was 86 degrees on Sunday. I laid on a lounge chair on the deck in the sun like a cat and fell asleep. My winter weary bones were quite happy to feel warmth again.
In spite of my love for flora, I hate Spring. I especially hate Spring in Wisconsin. I hate the roller coaster ride of warmth and sun teasing me and then turning to cold with snow/rain. I hate the way it drags out and goes on for weeks and weeks. I have no patience for that cycle and it depresses me. It is getting steadily warmer by an average few degrees per week so I guess we're going in the right direction.
On another note, in an effort to increase my good cholesterol and reduce my bad cholesterol (not to mention my pants size) I've committed to a 3day per week routine at the gym. This started sometime around the 1st of the year but I have yet to make it 3 days in any one week. Today might be the day!
Here again, losing weight and gaining fitness is such a long, drawn out process with highs and lows. I have very little patience for the ongoing cycle - too bad I've done it nearly all my life.
In other news, I am studying to take the CMA (Certified Management Accountant) exam in Sept/Oct this year. I've discovered there's an awful lot of information that I don't know or don't remember. This exam typically has somewhere between a 50% to 60% pass rate. This is not going to be a piece of cake.
I believe it was the Cheshire Cat in Alice in Wonderland who said, "If you don't know where you're going, any road will get you there." Okay, so I think I know where I'm going and I'm on the right road, are we there yet?
