Cheetos that night, which I am calling a binge because

anything more than a normal serving (nothing) for me is

now considered a binge LOL!

This happens when Ed decides to stop in the bakery on his walk home

from the train station after work. Instead of just getting 2 or so

donuts for just himself he grabs 6 to a dozen, "just in case" anyone

else wants them. Well, yeah, Henry and I *want* them, but neither of

us *should* have them!

>I also managed to force myself to walk 2 miles every

day except one and that is because it (my knee) was

soooooo crabby I just couldn't force myself to go.

I just couldn't get myself to exercise this morning, not even

something simple and easy like qigong. We spent the whole weekend

packing boxes and carrying them down and then up flights of stairs.

Then when we were making our last trip up to our apartment yesterday

my arm decided to do something foolish on its own (I had no control

over it, I swear!) and it decided to whack the fingers of my left

hand against the wall when I went reaching for the banister. 3 of

the fingers are swollen and painful, and maybe I even broke

something, but it's not worth going back to the doc - I've been

putting ice on them to reduce the swelling but still can't make a

fist. On top of that, it's been a miserable raining night last night

and according tot he forecast, the entire upcoming week, so part of

the pain and swelling in the fingers - and the toes on both feet -

are probably the arthritis acting up. I'll take a day of rest and do

a decent workout tomorrow, if the feet cooperate. I wound up going

to the laundromat this morning with my cane, that's how bad the feet

are.

>Last night, I drove out to the

college to pick up DS18 to come home "for the weekend" -

he's actually heading back Monday morning (or so he

says) so we'll only have a couple days with him. I've

missed him, but I can tell college has been good for

him.

I'm surprised he came home for just the three (or 2) days. He must

miss you guys as much as you all miss him.

>but I am worried about you

today so send me "something" to let me know you're ok

today (LOL) so he did. He sent me an email in FRENCH.

Little bugger is taking French I (101?) this year. So I

had to go to google translate to see what he wrote me

LOL!!

I once threatened Henry like that one of those days he would leave

home at 6am and wouldn't be home until almost midnight. I left a

message on his phone to let me know he's OK, and a few hours later

he left a message on the answering machine - "OK" was all he said.

It was good enough for me.

> Next week starts my two week stint with the fair

I'm counting on you to allow this year's fair to go by with no drama

this year, all right?

>So I don't know how much I will

get on here during the week (probably not much at all,

actually)

and I will hold down the fort. Go, have fun. And if you have

any corn dogs, have a bite for me.
