Where Is Spring?

I have to admit that I am tired already of the winter that we are experiencing.

Oh, I am happy about one thing. We certainly have been lucky in this area, so far anyway, and not received some of the massive snowstorms that other parts of Ontario have received this winter.  The weather forecasters were telling us only a short time ago that we should be receiving a massive storm around here and yet, we lucked out in the last few hours as the storm bypassed us. Sure we received some snow but certainly not what we were originally told would be coming here.

The weather forecast suggests that we are going to see some very cold temperatures in the next little while. Even towards the beginning of Spring, temperatures will be around 0°C. I just can't handle that. Aren't the temperature supposed to be going up already?

Oh well, I really don't have all that much interest in heading south even if that means that the temperatures would be much nicer. I must admit that I just don't feel ready to travel since I am still fighting some of my physical conditions these days trying to improve how I am feeling after my massive breakdown a couple of years ago. Sure I am feeling so much better but it is probably because I still am enjoying being in this region. However, it had better get warm soon!

I do try very hard to stay in good physical shape. I have to admit that what I am doing now certainly is not typical of the way that I used to live. Every day now, before every meal, I go through about 15 minutes of exercise work. It is not something that is that "physical" but I do a fair bit of exercising for certain parts of my body that need care be taken for them. What I do has been taught to me by one of the people who were sent here after I came back from the hospital. It certainly seems to be successful for me because I have increased the amount of time I do for the exercise work that I did when I started.

Moreover, every day I am down in the basement, sometimes twice a day, working on the elliptical trainer that I have there. My objective is to increase the time that I "run" on the trainer to help me feel better. I usually spend some minutes exercising until I feel tired. When that happens, I stop and rest for a few minutes and then restart the process again to increase the exercise time. Obviously, I do more minutes on the system now compared with the time when I started but it is still not as long a time as I want to achieve.

I must admit that it is a lot more difficult physically than I expected. The unit I have now which replaced the one that was damaged because of the flooding that had gone on here is not all that easy to use. It does require the use of a good amount of physical energy. Even the basic intro physical services which I am doing are quite a strain physically. I keep on doing it though so that I feel much better and expect to do a better job as time goes on.

Writing on the Internet has continued to be quite a positive experience for me. I do have to admit that I really would like to be able to write more and post more articles but frankly, I just don't have the energy to do it. It does take time to write these articles especially because I want to provide you, dear reader, with good material that I hope still interests you. I generally still do some research before I write something to make sure what I am saying is accurate. Naturally, my articles are intended strictly to set out my point of view on the issues that I am speaking about.

Not only do I not have the energy, but I am not up just that amount of time that I think is needed to write number of articles that I truly want to write. By the time I get up and do what I normally do now to make myself feel better, help make the food I need to eat because  of  my  condition and take the rests I need, plus get involved in the tasks that have arisen because of our move, a good part of my day is gone. I certainly go to sleep hours earlier than before because I must do so.  Nevertheless, I still try to write an article that I hope others will find interesting to read to give them a perspective of what I think is going on here.

I will continue to write as much for you, dear reader, as I can so please keep on coming back to this site as often as you want to see what I have added.
