I just walked four miles. Not much to the marathoners, but it sure was enough to get me sweaty and tired.
On my seventh birthday, I wanted a toy fire truck, and I didn't get it, and you were real nice about it, and then the house next door burnt down, and then real firetrucks came, and for years I thought you set the fire for me. And if you did, you can tell me!

I walked all the hell over Prague today. Goodness. Monday I had over 20k steps, yesterday was about 18k, so far today at 16k (day's not over, but some of today is from jogging on a treadmill).
Tomorrow my brother and I are going to some sort of annual folk-life festival that's supposed to have dancing and music and whatnot. We are hoping it's fun. I went to the ethnographic museum today and it was hilarious. The translations and the directions to children were amazing. I'll probably post some later. One was all about old farms and how they were and houses and stuff. In addition to having scythes out for kids to touch, they had stuff like "think about your summer house, can you tell where used to be kept the pigs or the weaving?"

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Liese, I'm so sorry. Peace to you and your family.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Four miles is nothing to sneeze at! That's over 5k, for one thing.
Enjoying meara's tour-and-post very much.
Resident baker lady is moving to a different department, so today is our last department meeting with her nummy treats. I'm gonna have one of each, diet be damned.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Liese, much strength to your family.
Connie, thanks! The package arrived yesterday. I am all armoured up.
