You're all making great progress! I do enjoy reading about the work everyone is doing.

My wiring that I hoped would, in one fell swoop, supply two rooms with outlets was stepped back to two stages when this evening I realized that the existing phone in the front room is opposite the hall outside my son's room, so I need to put in a second set of wires and after I put a hole in the wall for a junction box, fish them over to the hole. I have a long piece of wire with a hook for that, and I will tape the ends together with a big piece of twine dangling down, something that is liable to be easier to locate with my hook.

That's for another day. I did finish my wiring after replacing the old junction box. It was anchored in place by a bit that dropped down into the hole. I could have fished it out, but I preferred to use a newer box anyway. I just wish the phones sounded like anything we'd want to listen to. There is a loud roar on the line that I have to report--again.

I took the dogs for a 20 minutes walk. I've been reading week two in Dr. Weil's book and am making the little tweaks in my habits that he suggests. Walks every day all of them suggest, but I'll go with his plan and see where it takes me. He does a lot of things I like already, such as I like green tea, but I didn't drink it as often as he suggests. Fruit, veggies, I already ate a lot, but I'm changing some of the oils and sweeteners (cold pressed canola is apparently a lot healthier than regular, because chemicals are used to extract the oil from the regular sort).

I'm getting enough cherry tomatoes to eat and give away; if I save some I might be able to can a few half pints more. This garden nearly drowned a few weeks back, but it seems to be getting its second wind.
