The weeks started off with blue sky, extremely cold weather, and me, going for my morning run, not giving a fuck, and getting what I am self diagnosing but am pretty sure it is, frost bite on the tip of my nose. Yup, I went for an hour long run in what they said was a -10 morning and when I came home I had ice all over my eyelashes, my face cover, my hair, and my nose was numb. And the tip was fire red. I kind of freaked a little but then figured that the worst case scenario would be that I would have to cut the tip of my nose off and after I asked the mr if he would mind if I needed to cut if off (he was cool with it) I calmed down a bit and smacked a salve covered bandaid on the honker and just hoped it would figure it self out. Lucky my nose is still intact but there still is a big red blotch on the tip and I can feel it now, it just hurts a little when I touch it. SO, lesson learned. Go inside when ice forms on your face.
Besides my nose issues, the week has been good. Went for a long city walk with Barb, picked up a bunch of new books at the library, got a few packages of seed!!! and did a lot of glazing. I am really excited to see how the new designed mugs comes out of the kiln but also a little nervous. When things go right in ceramics, well it is the best feeling. When they go wrong, it really freaking sucks.
Also we got a good little snow storm that dumped close to a foot of snow. That made me smile a bunch, even when I was shoveling for the fifth time. (I actually really like shoveling.)
And that’s about it. I think. My brain is shit these days….
Back at Sunday. The mr and I are heading up into the mountains and into the woods today to go for a hike, drop of some mugs, and just get out of town. I am probably more excited then I would normally be but I am feeling a little stir crazy and can’t wait just to get out of town. And good news, it is suppose to be a warm 20 degrees where we are going so I don’t have to worry much about freezing my freaking face off. YAY!
