You Capture - Work

I thought this was a tough challenge this week.   How do you capture work?  According to Websters dictionary it's a noun, adjective and verb.  Do I take a picture of my computer, my 10 key, the washing machine, the cleaning supplies, my messy kitchen?   I didn't know where to begin.  Then I looked at it in the bigger of picture of things because to have work means that you are alive and breathing.  My body works every day pumping blood, firing neurons and delivering oxygen to organs among many other seemingly silent behind the scenes functions all while I go about my daily tasks whether it be - preparing taxes, doing a load of laundry, making phone calls or preparing a meal.  And my body does this day in and day out without a lot of intellectual thought about it on my part.  And it usually functions quite well.  And for that I'm grateful.  I exercise, try to eat right and for the most part get enough sleep - but I know I can do better and I should because my body is my vessel, what allows me to be who I am on a day to day to basis.  Without it, I'd be 6 feet under.  So, to capture the essence of WORK this week, I took these two pictures of what I do to keep my body working.  Today was a double duty day, I walked 3 1/2 miles with a friend - took us 55 minutes and I did a programmed workout on the exercise bike for 25 minutes.

winding down to the end of the year

Just 2 more days of 2009.  It's like any other day for me though.  Laundry, work/payroll, bills, grocery store, cooking.  My desk gets piled up with paperwork on a daily basis that I can hardly keep up.  It's awful.  Really wish I had a personal assistant.  Oh well, I hope to get through my tasks and on to making cinnamon rolls this afternoon.  We missed them this year on Christmas.  It's our tradition, we make cinnamon rolls to enjoy on Christmas morning.  We spent Christmas in Cabo this year and we ate and drank well, just didn't have a cinnamon roll.  Hope the chill in the air doesn't alter the rising dough too much.  It's cold here.  Snowed last night and it's very icy.  Flights have been canceled in/and out of Pullman.  They were canceled yesterday too, which I think is odd, because yesterday was just cold.  No snow.

Kristin and I are leaving on Friday morning on the 10:35 am flight.  We need to make it to Seattle for a 2 pm flight to DC.  Sadly, the flights in and out of Pullman are far and few between and flights out of Spokane are already booked.  But they have their own strange weather issues (lots of FOG) on a regular basis.  Surprisingly Lewiston (the pass through for many flights between Pullman and Seattle) has had cancellations as well.  WTH?  We may be up bright and early and driving to Seattle to make that 2 pm flight on  New Years Day. 

Here's a few wonderful pictures of our Christmas Vacation in Cabo San Lucas.
