But it's the weekend! And what a glorious weekend it shall be...after we take care of some megacleaning this afternoon.
Today was all about being warm...because as I've mentioned, it suddenly turned to fall in Vermont yesterday! I feel absolutely thrilled about fall, even if the frost alert this morning gave me a temporary shock. I realized I'm taking it a little far when one of the students today came in with a bad cold, and I got a little thrill because my first thought was, "Oh! A fall cold!"
However...a confession. I broke the challenge today. And I did it intentionally. Here's what happened:
I've been getting up early on my days at the college so I can hit the bike path on the way to work and run before I get into the office. However, the clothing that I picked for the challenge in terms of workout wear is not sufficient for frost-inducing temperatures. So today I made the decision to wear one of my long-sleeve wicking shirts to run because, damn, it was cold. I justified it in the following way: I included a pair of cords in the challenge that I have not yet worn. I figure if I keep them off the challenge until the end, I can feel somewhat ok about having to break out the long-sleeved shirt. It is what it is. I value warmth and non-sickness. I also wore an earband to keep ear infection away, which I think is legit, much like the baseball cap I wear while running for sun protection.
On another note, I took a hiatus from my part-time retail job. I plan to go back and work some holiday hours, but in the interest of simplifying, I thought it was appropriate. I want my weekends. I want to laze on the couch and read a book and hang out with the husband and cat. And NOT worry about having to fold a thousand shirts. :)
Anyhow, here was my rest-of-the-day outfit:
Sorry the pic is kind of dark today.
Up next weekend...the big purge! Stay tuned.
