I never knew you-all cared!

New routines are beginning to take shape, finally. Gym workouts three times a week, choir practice on Monday and a session with a voice coach on Wednesday, errands on Friday, housecleaning on Monday, and a whole lot more cooking including baking our bread. Waiting for better weather before adding more outdoor exercise -- just walking is quite enough of a challenge in our part of town, where the sidewalk plows pass by only on days when the moon is blue. I go to bed completely whacked most nights, but not the same kind of whacked as when I still had an office job.

My awful cough has cleared up and I have lost fifteen pounds since Christmas.

I already don't have time for hobbies, unless you consider the New York Times crossword a hobby.
