The Smell of Cookies

I just love the way a house smells while baking. It's probably the number one reason why I buy vanilla, hazelnut, and toffee candle scents or something along those lines. mmm.

I ran 2.5 miles today. I decided to work on speed one day and distance the next. On Monday I ran one mile, walked .2 miles, and then timed a mile at 8:23. While not spectacular, I was impressed with myself. Friday will be another speed day.

Tomorrow, I'm going down to a neighbor's house to help her clean. Her husband is retiring and she wants a clean house.

Sirius found a new BFF. The next door neighbors left their dachshund out and he decided to come into our yard. He was very timid, skinny, and cautious. I finally got him to come up to me, but he was so scared. That made me sad that he looked horrified. I'm not sure why it bothered me so much since my dog is the biggest squirrel when it comes to people he doesn't know, but it just felt different I guess.

I'm finally starting to get used to my car. I've liked it all along, but it just hasn't felt like me. I feel like some kind of adult in it though. That might be why I've taken 5 weeks to get used to it. I don't know. It's a slow growing up process I guess? Well, I'll keep telling myself that anyway.
