A work trip...that may or may not have killed me

Oh hi, good morning!  Writing to you from super cold and snowy Wisconsin.  I am on a work trip, and I can't really discuss what we are doing and why, but I feel like I'm back in grad school and I'm too old for this shit LOL!

We have an Airbnb and it's amazing to wake up every morning looking out on a frozen lake.  Yesterday there were ice fishers out on the lake, and we got to watch them through the snowflakes heading out to set up their huts and fish.  It truly is beautiful up here and while I enjoy the brief visit, not sure I would want to live in a winter wonderland.  

We've done nothing but eaten, drank, done science, and tried to exist all while staying in our PJs (unless we were on the farm).  I feel like I am back in grad school and also am supremely feeling like I am in my late 40s.  

I'm not going to lie; we have to do this trip again 3 more times and I am not looking forward to the 10-hour drive x 2 or the sleeplessness.  We have a better plan moving forward that will help a little, but it's still just hard because of the nature of it.  

Of course, no running happened thanks to time and the nature of the experiment but hoping to do some while I am off.  Maybe in January but I am not holding my breath.  

Have a great week y'all!  Ready to be back with my family :)
