Sun 20 Jan

Nothing on the agenda today except packing the naked Christmas tree into the box and back to garage attic and hauling the boxes of decorations up to the attic. Went to church last night to avoid needing to venture out into the arctic cold today. Bought a spiral-sliced ham that I will throw in the oven later to make the house smell great and provide leftovers for a long time. Decided to pick up some knitting needles and see if I remember how to do this. Knitting came back fairly quickly, purling somewhat slower, but I think I have the hang of them again. Just doing a length of trial about 10" wide, no real purpose to it. Using some old, cheap acrylic white yarn that is probably 40 years old. Bad thing about knitting is it's so inert! Made carrot ginger orange soup with the Vitamix for lunch. Delicioso! It's a good thing I usually exercise in the mornings. I waited until afternoon today and had significantly less energy. I had napped a bit first, and now I need another nap! The new ballet workout DVD is broken into 6 workouts: Bridges, Abs, Inner Thigh, Outer Thigh, Arms, and Standing. I only made it through Bridges before I died. It is quite repetitive and intense on the same muscle groups. I started abs and died immediately.
