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

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
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.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"
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 did this in Florida. It was fun, as I had 5 last names over the years!

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
I finished my productive Friday by sweeping and vacuuming, doing the laundry and making dinner (Pollo Asado with rice and avocado) for me and Matilda. Then we watched The Maltese Falcon together.
I spent half the afternoon writing up the short piece (on The Days and Nights of Molly Dodd) that's been overdue, and it's half done.
So I made up for all my slackitude on Thursday.
Saturday's productivity this morning has been limited to making and drinking coffee. I really need to nail down my Thanksgiving menu. Emmett has turned into a good cook so I can assign some stuff to him. Also, I have him and Matilda make Jacqueline's spanikopita so she's present with us.
In exciting news, the weather is going to drop this weekend getting down to the low 50s and high 40s. And that means I can bust out my scarf collection. Woo!

I guess it's a good thing I'm getting my passport now, so I can do that as well.

Productivity today as well! Did 2 loads of laundry. Packed for heading to my sister's later today. Took the dog to the park. Coffeed and fed myself. Ordered stuff needed for house. Printed out the gym class schedule for THREE gyms on sister's side of state and downloaded my Silver Sneakers card. And did all my NYT and MS games to in theory feed my brain.
Now I really should finish packing and get on the road.

I look more rad than Lutheranism
I am 100% unproductive today because I woke up in the middle of the night and threw up. Was it the greasy Chinese food? I don't know. I still feel like hell and haven't eaten anything yet today and might just go back to bed.
But last night's fruitcake (guys) and pedicure (gals) and Chinese food (everyone) extravaganza was great. My toenails are blue again, which is my One True Pedicure Color.

Well done!

That part sounded great. NSM the barfing and crapulence.
I did not run this morning, but did get up instead of faffing around in bed. Made myself an omelette and just did a long phone call with a friend, planning for her to come out to visit in the new year.
It's good to have near term things to look forward to.
Now my day is open, but I'm going to run the dryer one more time and unload the dishwasher (a weird sticking point that has developed, sort of like folding clothes and not putting them away). My nails need a touch-up. That might be my indulgence.
