Well, welcome to 2009! Although I took no part in celebrations for the New Year, I took to my bed yesterday to recover from marking assignments on New Year's Eve and from the noise made by fireworks as midnight came and went, and 1 am came and went and 2 am... and so on.
Having just bought a lovely new mattress topper, I was very tempted today to have another "duvet day", despite two pairs of enraged brown eyes glaring at me over the edge of my bed. In the end, though, overcome by guilt, I took the dogs for a walk, and yet again remembered how much better I feel if walk regularly. In fact, I walk almost every day, but, as soon as I decide to spend a day tucked up with a hot water bottle and a cup of tea, the urge to exercise leaves me as though it had never existed and I forget how good walking makes me feel! Just as well the dogs have obviously been practising their guilt-inducing stares.
I fact, I felt so much better after walking that I went to the "warehouse club" and got the dogs new boxes of pigs' ears. All I will say is that I expended more energy fighting my way through the crowds in the warehouse than I did taking the dogs for a brisk 4km walk!
Resolution for 2009: walk! walk! walk!
