It is very possible that today is the first time I ever really used snowshoes. I feel like I may have tried them on and did a very quick check to see how they felt before; but today I went on a short walk. I only went a little way out back. It is tough going in so much snow even with the snowshoes on. The muscles I used were a little different and I had to pay attention to my footing in a way that I wasn't used to. My knee was bothering me before I went out, so I didn't want to push myself. It wasn't bothering me at all when I got back inside...bodies are weird. I'm glad I finally got out and used the snowshoes. They are something that I inherited from a very dear relative. Other happy things for today:
- More tracks in the snow. I'm pretty sure the tracks led to an underground home for the critters. I wonder if I will ever learn the common animal tracks around here. I must say that this much snow really distorts the footprint.
- We let Winston and Nanni, the two new cats, to other parts of the house today. They seem to be adapting to us alright, but not as much to each other.
- Nanni made her way into my room when I came in with my hands full. I let her explore, but my room isn't cat ready and they won't be in here by themselves. She gave me snuggles.
- TF and I are working at holding each other accountable. We talked about our plan for the week today and made lists. I'm hoping for a very productive week.
- The cold finally started to freeze out one of the petunia plants. I brought them all into my room to thaw out. Some are still looking pretty good, others, not so much. I'm glad that I noticed them before they all got too damaged. I just looked it up, and petunias are not poisonous for cats or dogs, yay!
