first truly cold day of the year - tested my resolve to get up early ( failed, my muscles ached so much I tossed and turned all night ) .
I did get out running - it was so cold the dog's leash snapped at a weak point when we were less than a quarter of a mile down the Bridle Path. Walked back from the Park with the long end looped over her collar, got a cup of coffee to warm up the fingers and brain ( lost the resolve to abstain as well ) and then muscled my way through another thousand words.
It wasn't easy. And I still ache as if I've been shot out of a cannon ( the freezing trip down to Union Square to replace the leash didn't help ) but I stuck with my exercise , writing and work .
Plenty of financial headaches ahead, plenty of long hours "on the job" , and the seemingly endless pursuit of new employment yet to start up again.
And it's never going to all be done.
