I'm finding it easy, for now, to stick to my points. Sins! Six pounds! That's great, but really fast!

I've done all of the laundry in the past two days so I won't have to do any this weekend! And, Rog put away the clean dishes and there are only a few waiting to be washed which I will do tomorrow. I hope one or both of us will get to the frig...its innards need to be seriously cleaned!

I've also done some more ironing of the linen which came out of the closet. Found two lovely 100% silk scarves which I think I may put on ebay.

Trying to move about more. There is a new study from Australia which says when we sit too long in one position, i.e. when watching tv or at the computer, we raise our percentages of dying sooner from cardiovascular and/or cancer than if we get up and move about every twenty minutes. Thankfully, due to meds and drinking so much water, I am up about every 30-45 minutes. They said it doesn't have to be hard exercise, but just moving around, though they do stress exercise, too. Even people who do exercise regularly, though, are as vulnerable IF they sit for too long.

You may read a little bit about it atScience Friday on npr. There are links for more info there and I think the audio program will be available later.
