Ohhhh...that sounds nommy.

I'm awake but no one else is home and the cats have been fed. I'm feeling a sloth morning coming on.

I slothed my way out of yoga this morning (I really need to sign up the night before -- then I force myself to go), but I just did about a half-hour of working out with On Demand! That is way better than nothing, and I'll go for a long walk in a bit. Unprecedented!

The Zmayhemi are awake and have eaten oatmeal on a grey November morning.

Slept crappy. Worst "vacation" ever.

'suela, hope you are able to take a real, restful vacation sometime very soon.

Shit, I'm sorry Consuela. But it never seemed likely that she was going to go easy. But this will be better for her and she will make the adjustment.

I'm just sorry it's been such a rough haul for you and your family.

Sorry the transition is being so rough, Suela.
