…had a protein shake for breakfast…went for coffee with a friend…returned pop bottles

I also posted this photo for my 3fatchicks Golden girls posts. At least it makes me feel a bit more like spring will actually arrive soon. Easter was cold – sunny- but cold. Our little 12-voice choir sang the Halleluiah Chorus from the Messiah – only 4 sopranos and 2 altos and 1 lone tenor. [...]

I managed to lose 2 pounds and keep it off this week, [...]

I’ve been smote (is that a word?) with the flu. This is the third day. Days 1 and 2 are a blurr of hazy feverish dreams, and achey achey limbs. Coincidentally, I just finished reading a book about the flu epidemic of 1918 called “The Last Town on Earth”, by Thomas Mullen. [...]

Yesterday it got up to 65 degrees. Of course I was inside at work all day, but the walk to the car and drive home (with the window partway down) was super. Now it’s back to 30 degees and freezing rain.
On the eating/exercise front…I walked a bit over the weekend, but also ate too damn much. [...]
