Do you ever feel like a &quot;blob&quot; in Winter? I got a brief cycle in today!

@TheHorse Well, I do play on a professional paintball team, and so that is very similar to war in that we are trying to shoot and kill our opponents, so I guess the answer to your question will be a resounding yes once I complete rehab. I will be a macho man ready for war.

No, not really. 'Cause I have horses and they need exercise all year, so I'm not more active in the summer than in the winter. Some times I feel a bit lazy in December and May since it's grading season, and being stuck inside with heaps of papers to grade isn't my favourite part of my job.

@TheHorse Especially if you take it before you starts grading *glares at physics tests* There's this one kid in the physics class that really can't write. It's like a drunken person from around 1910 with a broken pen. I've tried for two and half years and it still doesn't make sense *sighs and stares a blueberry liquere bottle*

Throws her baby eggs? Can you elaborate? I had a parakeet when I was a kid. So I love talking to them and hearing them make happy sounds when it's sunny out.

@TheHorse If you keep doing that, you'll make some incredible rides. It's just like that penny thing, where you get one penny today, then tomorrow, you get two pennies, the next day, you get 4 and so on. In just a few days, you'll be riding far enough to get to Europe.

When I lived in Latvia winter was the time to stay indoors mostly since temps went into the minuses and there was lots of snow and ice and then I felt like I was half living. Now in Florida I can go out at any time and enjoy the good weather after just some brief cold spells. When I become a blob here is when the tropical heat hits in the summer and you can hardly move from the oppressive heat but I learned in my first summer here so this summer I am still getting myself out and off to the beach where I can sit under an umbrella with my feet in the cold Atlantic Ocean. Hope the spring find you soon so you can get out there and get active.

@TheHorse I think so too. It's a lovely morning here today. Yesterday was horribly windy and then last night we had snow showers! But now it's a beautiful sunny day and I'm going to head to the nearest town for a couple of things, should be about an 8-mile round trip.

@arunima25 You are correct. My first language is Horse, and my second language is Parakeet. I'm also fairly fluent in Dog and Cat. I also speak some English, and am working on my French, Spanish, Hebrew, Squirrel, Goat and Sheep. I would love to learn Wolf and Dolphin, but haven't had the chance.

Will it be warm enough to melt all of the snow? Thanks for mentioning me in that one snow picture post! I love that house across the street. It takes me back to Grinnell Iowa. Midwestern architecture has a "stamp" that I can't convey in words.

@TheHorse I did go a couple of times. The cold and wind, mainly wind, just got to me this winter. I couldn't make myself go, though I know I am fine once I start. Tried to use the treadmill, but that does require forcing myself the whole time.

My bike has two flat tires. I probably need to fix that before going for a ride. Meanwhile, the dog needs to be walked and living in a house with three levels keeps me from becoming too blobby.
