Wed 21 Jan

Got my new Fitbit yesterday after work. I can now wear it on my wrist so I don't have to wrestle it onto the middle of my bra in the morning. It has a buckle band, so I'm not worried about it slipping off and getting lost. Checked my heart rate after the cardio segments of the workout this morning, and it only got up to about 110. Can't really check during the more intense part of the workout, so it may come down a bit by the time I can check. Increasing the intensity will give me a goal. Saw "The Hobbit" last night, and despite poor reviews from many sources, I liked it. I felt the "extra" stuff wasn't too distracting, and I like his concepts of the characters. I particularly liked watching Thorin succumb to the "dragon sickness" of greed and then finally free himself. My only disappointment was that Peter didn't choose to include the words "Child of the kindly west" that always made me choke up, though he did use significant parts of the following speech. Got a second letter for another day of jury duty potential next Wed. Tomorrow is the first possibility if it doesn't get canceled. Called in to the Jury Line and tomorrow's trial is canceled. One more day next week should do it for the month unless I get more letters later this week. Tis the season of comfort food. Uncle Will's for supper tonight.
