In A Fog

Each morning for about the last week we have started the day with freezing fog.  It makes for a thick blanket of frost everywhere, and some slick streets and sidewalks.  It usually burns off quite rapidly, and I have been enjoying my brisk walks each day in the cold sunshine.

But today it never burned off.

 This was the scene as I went out to the street to get the mail late this afternoon, after I had done my exercising indoors today on the stationary bike.

 Air quality is poor on days like this, with a temperature inversion holding pollutants in. And besides, that almost freezing fog is just too penetratingly chilly.   

It looks like rain will return next week.  I will miss the sunshine, but not the cold fog.

Thanks to all who responded about my inquiry about acupuncture.  My insurance will cover eight visits per year, with $20 copay.  That's not much, so if I go that route, I will have to prioritize which physical condition needs that attention most.  I am suffering now from sciatica as a result of my back/spine condition.  My next move is to call Group Health physical therapy and set up an appointment for exercises for sciatica, to add to those I already do.

Forget staying in shape.  I'm just trying to keep moving, and it takes a lot of time and work!
