My sciatica has been bad since the flight back from Japan, so I went running this morning and did a lot of stretches. If I keep it up I hope it takes the pressure off the pinched nerve.

I gained weight over the last two years and I really need to take it back off again. Trying to use this alone time while Matilda is in Kyoto to re-establish better habits.

In a couple hours I'll drive Cousin Nicole to the train station in Emeryville so she can return to Sacramento. She kept the pigs alive and the house intact while I was gone. But I will be glad to have the house completely to myself.

Now if I can just get my phone fixed...Maybe it's time to just get a new one.

Timelies, all.

Welcome back, David. Hope Matilda has a great time out in the world.

For those not under the thumb of Apple, Google Play also has 5calls.

I haven't noticed egg shortages here, but HEB tries to get everything from local farms here in TX. Also from Mexico, so the tarriffs would definitely have hit them.
