My back is reminding me this morning that I'm out of shape as far as garden activities. The potato beds were a conditioner for the season (we used to go on a longish steep hike early in the spring to get into condition for the season ahead - it usually meant sore muscles for a few days). Yesterday was a fasting day in which I did all of that work, so hopefully I've kick-started weight loss for the year.

I slept like a log last night, and because I went to bed so early I woke before my alarm. I was up before the dogs again, and Cinnamon again didn't want to be nudged out the door. I set the washing on delayed start for a load of laundry and that has just finished drying. I'm all caught up on yard, garden, laundry, and trash today.

Good luck with the exam, Michelle. I always keep my socks on during doctor office visits, it seems to help because they keep those exam rooms too cold.
