krampus, better late than never! It will feel really good to know that all the work is done and you don't have to wonder about it any more.
Dagmar, how's your wound healing? You sound upbeat - like spring is finally reaching you!
michele, I've watched the Insanity infomercial several times with a sort of fascinated horror. Much as I love to imagine what I could gain from doing it, I know I have a long way to go before I could carry out that kind of exercise commitment!
bill, too true about grubbiness and nibbling!
Jessica, congrats on having the babies at home! I think your strategy with the parents is a great one - tell them what you need and would appreciate the most. All parents remember the experience of a new baby, and we know how incredibly busy those first months are, and how grateful new parents are for any sort of help!
ds, maintenance has its ebbs and flows. The only constant seems to be the lack of constants!
iris, agree with you that being on track is a huge mental leap ahead!
We're getting ready to leave tomorrow night for Europe and there have been a lot of things to do. Originally my mom was handling all the details, but with my grandma in hospice care, she's obviously spending a lot of time there. I'm starting to get really geeked up.
We logged 9.65 miles last night. The weather couldn't have been more perfect, so they pushed an extra mile and a half on us. Today ... oh, my, I am feeling it! Sitting on an airplane for 8 hours actually sounds good at the moment!
