So feel free (or not) to accept my encouraging nudge to go move your body tomorrow.

Feeling the nudge. I need to get a workout buddy. We have a nice gym in the building so it should be easy. Most of the reason I went daily in NY was that my sister went with me.

Joining Karl on the grease-for-lunch bench.(Maybe it's a short bench; we can sit close) But I won't say what I had. No need to incite disgust. Or envy.

I am meeting a friend this afternoon to check out a possible new gym and possible new workout buddy. That would be v motivating for both of us. I’ve only been really working out once a week, which is not nearly enough.

Woo! Consider this your official appreciation of praise worthy body rocking! Getting a workout buddy helps a ton.

Timelies all!

Mr. S is still in the hospital. The tentative plan is for him to be discharged early Thursday morning, then go up to the RTC to be admitted later in the morning. We've had a bit of a snafu with the insurance, but hopefully it will be straightened out in time.

May it all go smoothly, Sheryl. Did you get all your id and card stuff straightened out?

Workout with friend successful! We plan to go again next Friday and then regularly in January. This will be excellent motivation.

Good luck, Sheryl.

Laura,

I got my work badge done on Tuesday. I have gotten a new credit card, debit cards, driver's license, social security card and insurance card. I made an appointment to get a new passport on Dec. 7th.(first time available) Waiting on my glasses.

I know I have to get my MA drivers license renewed by my birthday, but when I went to the website there was a reminder that RealID goes into effect this May.

So I'm going to have to gather up a whole bunch of documents, like my SS card and my birth certificate. I KNOW I have them, but putting my hands on them may be a labor.

Anyway, I pass this info on as a reminder that after May it will be necessary for air travel, and if the Trumpistas really get going, it may be necessary to show it at the entrance to a whole bunch more things.

(It may also go the other way -- enough Evangelicals are worried about The Mark Of The Beast, capital-L Libertarians about Internal Passports, and so on. Depends on pays enough money to his campaign and slush fund, I guess.)

Theo, I'm in the same boat. And it turns out I would have to renew in person even for the plain old license, so might as well get the whole thing done. Also, hi!

I went to the website there was a reminder that RealID goes into effect this May.

I did this in Florida. It was fun, as I had 5 last names over the years!
