When I got home I had to eat because I had exercise at 7pm and my lunch just would not have seen me through until then. If I leave it until 6pm it makes exercise really, really uncomfortable.
Benny is always so happy to see me when I get home. Or when I get out of the bathroom. Or out of bed. Or out of the laundry. Or from one part of the room to the other. He wags his tail and then his whole body joins in with the wagging. Sometimes he does these really strange body rolls in excitement. I can't help but cuddle him and then his wagging and wiggling is out of control. Wouldn't it be cute if humans were like that when they saw someone they loved.
Tonight it was raining outside. These cold months of exercise make it hard to get out but I go anyway. The worst thing is having to put my hair up in a pony tail in this cold weather. It makes my ears and neck cold. I do have a hat to keep my head warm but that gets too hot.
We had to exercise under shelter and the rain cleared for a while. But towards the end of the class it poured. That fine but heavy rain that is blown across the park. It soaks everything and everyone very quickly and we all complain about having to run in it. Not much running, but enough to get very wet. The class ends and we go inside the council building to stretch.
I headed home and the rain was still coming down in sheets. The car was warm by the time I pulled into the driveway at home. I ran inside and the warmth of the house enveloped me.
As I opened the kitchen door Benny was staring at me from the other side of the room, his tail in wag mode. His fur was warm and soft. I wanted to just pick him up and cuddle his wriggly warmth but he is a bit heavy for that and gets very silly if I do it.
Now I can relax for the evening. Play games on the phone, watch ABC television and read some newspapers online.
It's nice to be home.

i haven't been in blogworld lately, and i can't tell -- is your hair still its natural color?
ReplyDeletei keep going blonder and blonder. might as well just go gray -- it's close enough in color!
Hi Meliss: I have let it go grey but every eight weeks I have a handful of white highlights put in to blend the front to the back and just brighten the hair up a bit. I am white at the front and dark silver at the back with some brown still coming through.
ReplyDeleteIt took a while but it is worth it. Only thing is, when you have grey hair you really, really need to keep it looking good or you may end up looking like a crazy lady with frizzy hair.
I have to use a silver shampoo once a week to keep it from yellowing (as all grey hair does).
I love to read about how much you love Benny. He sounds like a wonderful dog and sounds very lovable. The exercise-- you are a better woman than I!! The rain would be enough to keep me at home. I don't, as a rule, exercise, and it's starting to show. School keeps me chained to the computer and steno machine. But I still get lots of cuddles from my kitties and doggy. So there's that. Loved this post.
ReplyDeleteKaren: I sit down all day and need to exercise. Don't forget you are having to learn very intensely right now, brain and body are tired when you get home.
ReplyDeleteLove my Benny.
