I just think it's rather odd that a nation that prides itself on its virility should feel compelled to strap on forty pounds of protective gear just in order to play rugby.

Made two kinds of cookie dough. Should go work out. Doubt I will. Reading a book instead.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

I think I have a present for my mother!

Now...my father. And also Yuletide.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Tomorrow: Target, bookstore, supermarket, dad, tree, decorate... clean??

Suzi, that's a lot!

Me for tomorrow: erm. Walk the dog, change the sheets. Do finances for Dad. Birthday dinner with family, yay!

Our wings are not tired.

I may do Target tomorrow. Ugh. Since I am outta here on the 18th I really have to get everything finished this week.

I've been doing pretty good with my current exercise plan. Ideally 4 miles a day, although some days my knee has said no. Today so far only 1-1/2, but more hours left. I have 16 pennies in one tiny bowl that move to another when I complete each 1/4 mile. Two weeks so far and most days I moved 16 before the day was done. It is nice and cool out (73 at the moment), so that makes it easier to establish the habit. I am old, and fat, and out of shape, yo. But 2 out of 3 of these I can do something about.

So proud of you for finding an everyday way to get your body moving, Laura.

Thank you, David. Bobby and/or the GF and/or DH often join me, and Zoe is always willing. So it is a family affair.

I baked 5 doz rummy caramelly snickerdoodles for the cookie swap. Have one more run to Target to get things I forgot, clean house and laundry and cookie swap. 38ish hrs until surgery!

I have loved the stars too fondly to be fearful of the night.

sarameg - I just had my gallbladder removed six weeks ago so I remember the whole operation/recovery process pretty clearly - if you have any questions, profile addy is good.
