I was so tired yet awake last night - you know that feeling when the caffeine is keeping you up but your brain wants to sleep? I should probably stick to Solitaire at those times. :)

Susan, I can tell you what happens when you have the WRONG shoes! My new pair of walking shoes evidently has some kind of a lump under the insole area in the middle of the right foot. Wrong place for plantar fasciitis, but still painful. I limped more and more, it felt like a bruise, but I didn't remember hurting myself. I wore various shoes for a while, then one day I put these back on and the pain was instantly there. Those shoes are toast.

Andrea, that sounds like a good-sized cooking saucepan. I have several very large pots (12 and 14 quart) for canning. They are almost too much for my current electric coil stove top - I'm still mulling the answer to this puzzle and am getting close to buying an outdoor cooking stand (uses LP fuel) to heat water for canning.

I have a project I really want to do but I need to get it started before I name what it is, so I don't jinx it. Anyone working on any of those kinds of gifts for the holidays?

For exercise here I'm planning to walk the dogs in the afternoons while it's still light and warmer. If I'm not walking them in the morning for now I need a new routine because today I think I might have fed them breakfast twice - once on autopilot.
