Todays music: Savage Garden: Affirmation

Not much accomplished again today. I added 1169 words to Silver Star and that was the most productive thing I accomplished today. I did, however, cook lunch (imitation crab meat in butter, yum, with peas and potato chips), wash dishes, put away some clothes and straightened our bedroom. We had company today (the bug-sprayer guy), so the house had to be somewhat presentable.

In less than an hour, I'll be off to pick up the kids from school. The best thing about these babysitting days is that I take them to the park after their homework is finished. They get to play out some energy and I get my exercise too. The other day not only did I get about a mile walk in, plus we wallked about 1/4 of a mile between two playgrounds (we walked it twice) and I played tag with them. It still feels awkward to run, even though my ankle doesn't hurt to do it.

I'm gonna try to cram in some reading time now. TTFN!
