Oh, hi. You like my new dropdown sidebar widgets? They only took me seven tries and 3.4 hours to install. And they still have issues, but unless they agree to pay half the counseling fees to get through those issues they may just have to deal with them for awhile. Hopefully it won’t affect their quality of life too much.
The sun is out, mocking me. It asks why don’t I get off my butt and go outside and run a few 10K or so. I have no answer, so I close the blinds more tightly and pretend it’s winter still.
Here’s my running log for the past week:
Day 1: Sunny. A good day to think about running.
Day 2: Raining. My first run since October shouldn’t be in the rain. I’ll wait.
Day 3: Cloudy. Does that look like rain? I would hate my first run since October to be in the rain. I might run wrong or something. I’ll wait.
Day 4: Sunny. (What? I didn’t hear you.)
Day 5: Cloudy and kind of cold. Brr. Better wait until it’s sunny.
Day 6: Where are my running shoes?
Day 7: Eric found my running shoes where someone must have stashed them in the very far back of the closet. Huh. Is that a cloud there? It might get cloudier. Better wait.
So yes, the running thing is going well, quite well, thank you. I hardly have any sore muscles at all.

Oh! Serena made banana muffins yesterday. Almost practically by herself. I was only there barking out orders about how to properly scoop flour without packing it down too much and how to melt the butter without it exploding all over the inside of the microwave. Tonight she makes paella, Peking duck, and crepes suzette, and maybe steak au poivre for dessert. These kids have to pull their own weight around here.

I love how you keep *improving* the blog. Soon you will be able to lend your services.
As for the running, maybe you need to move to Southern California? We run here year round…

Uh, but that would mean I’d have no excuses.
I ran today. Now I can add “wind” to the list of things one should not run in. When one has waited as long as I have to resume running, wind makes a difference.

Wait a minute, just the other day my blog was under “not defined by down syndrom” now its under Down Syndrome… I liked the first category better! I think I will change your category (first I need to make some categories…not to worry I’ll never remember to do this) to “Not running - inclement weather”
Good job on getting out even in the *wind*
