Sun 6 Jan

Epiphany Sunday. Tradition dictates taking down the Christmas tree today, but I'm still enjoying it so I'll postpone to next weekend when I'm stuck in town on call anyway. Loved the Packer game last night, and especially love that two playoff games are on Saturday night so I can easily stay up for the entire game and still get 8 hours sleep before getting up at the normal 6:30 to exercise on Sunday. Thanks, Pack! Really enjoyed wearing my cozy, hand-knit socks yesterday. This morning when I did my exercise, found myself wishing for a comparable pair of good old-fashioned leg warmers. If you need an idea for a project sometime..... Dad is really still suffering from his walking pneumonia. I'm a little concerned that he's been on the antibiotic now for two days and isn't seeing any relief. I just chased him off to bed to lay down and rest awhile, something he has not been doing enough. He has spent most of his time sitting at the computer as usual, not even going to bed earlier than usual. He says he doesn't sleep well because he wakes to cough, blow his nose, or pee, but lots of extra rest always helps me to get better. Dad said he slept about 2 1/2 hours which is excellent. Grandma seems to be doing fine. She REALLY eats slowly! I'm looking forward to an afternoon nap myself.
