Day 79 - another normal day, wracking them up!

Again, today has no exciting activities. I walked with the dog and then with Terry, around four miles all told and wove, sudoku'ed and ate falafel. A well spent and utterly normal day. Maggie was not limping after today's walk. I took her on a shorter than usual walk just to be on the safe side and that or the day off or random chance seems to have helped her.

It's back to school for Ellie tomorrow and back to the NCCC for me. I am really hoping for an uneventful visit with normal labs. Hopefully everyone's back to work and school day will be uneventful--unless you want excitement, then I hope you get it!

Here is a picture of me from 2007. It is the oldest picture of me I can find on my computer.
I think I had just gotten the necklace as a Christmas present. I am not sure why my hair is so desperately in need of a haircut. This must have been about the time I started growing it out and perhaps I hadn't learned about barrettes yet. I thought since the rest of this post is so dreadfully unexciting that I would try to liven it up a bit.

  2. Lovely picture, Mary. I will confess that I went through a period of addiction to Sudoku. I did my first puzzle in 2007 when I spotted it in a Connecticut newspaper. I took to it...Sudoku... like a duck to water. Ironically, I hate doing it on the computer. I couldn't wait for the newspaper to come just so I could do another puzzle. I bought Sudoku books and then I bought more books....you know the trend... fewer numbers...more difficulty...I'll just do one more black belt style...brain has to work harder. Then I convinced myself that I was using it as an intense distraction when my Mom was ill and finally pushed it aside. Within a short period of time I became addicted to speed/timed Bejeweled on my laptop. There is a real skill to it if you want to score big. Never thought I would become addicted to a computer game, but I have. My point...you are not alone ...admitting your addiction is the fist step(laughing). Perhaps it is one of those "good" addictions. It may be a worthwhile and mentally challenging distraction from the emotional and physical roller coaster that you are riding as well. It's a brain rush every time you complete a new puzzle faster then the last one. With that said...score big and score fast.

    1. It's true that it is a nice distraction. You are the second person who has told me bejewelled is their favorite computer distraction. I better stay away from it as I'm not sure I need another computer addiction!
