I got to my desk at 5:57 a.m. and logged into my computer. I was bright-eyed and bushy-tailed. Then, my Outlook wouldn’t work.
Thankfully (after about 8 minutes of “fiddling” with stuff), I remembered that our computers won’t CONNECT to the network until 6 a.m.
I restarted, and connected just fine.
As of 6:16, I’m still bright-eyed and [...]

Dear God,
It’s going to be a hard three weeks at work. (January issue, you know.) Help me sleep well at night, work hard during the day, and stay sane. Also, help me to remember to be kind to Ed, who often gets the “brunt” of my grumpy moods.
Love,Rebecca

As mentioned in a previous post, Ed had been talking about Panther Creek since we’ve been together. In fact, he may have mentioned it in the year before we started dating, but I can’t be sure.
Ed estimates he’s done this hike at least six times. One of those times was with two other people and [...]

But we’re never going to Panther Creek again.
More tomorrow. For now, we’re headed to bed. Before 8. Very tired.

The Rockefeller Christmas tree is going to be greener this year. It still uses a TON of electricity, but it’s a start.

My. Thighs. Hurt.

The joint right the top of my leg (where it joins the pelvic bone, I guess?) hurts, too. And I have a bruise/knot/something just above my right ankle.
Apparently, someone isn’t used to riding a bike for exercise.
Ibuprofin, anyone?

I am still experiencing “Curves aversion” (darned woman who talked about my bouncing breasts). But I haven’t worked out in 10 days, and I’m feeling it. Also with the Toby stress I have all this nervous energy.
So I dusted off the stationary bike. (I haven’t ridden it more than a few pedals since February of [...]

Looks like Toby’s isn’t the only heart in our family I should be worrying about. Here is a somewhat scary article about coronary artery disease and women under 45.
