back to the salt mines in the park

well it was back to the salt mines in the park ... yes, i smile when i say that!

and every season i wonder, will the snow be off the lake? as you can see by the picture above, yes in-dee-dee ... it was! this is my regular, every day view, at the office ... i know, how can i stand it?

it was a very good first day back ... the office was teaming with my work buds ... i brought some blueberry pie for morning coffee - and that was the only coffee break of the day ... it was so busy that i was rather surprised when 4:30 rolled around ... and poor Leo was even more surprised because he had forgotten that i was heading into the city, rather than coming home ... voi voi ...

this first week always tends to be hectic and busy ... we have to set up new routines and prioritize ... but a change is a good thing ... over the winter, i tend to be like the old hibernating bear and usually need a good boot before i leave my cave!

my time in the city was a little more hectic ... i've become such a country girl that the faster pace and crowded areas tend to feel confining ... i was quite happy at the end of the day, to come home to my men (Leo and the cat, that is!) ...

and it's mid-week tomorrow .... already?????
