Liz, I'm guessing that you Miami game will be warmer than my Minnesota Gophers game. Have fun!

Operation house clean got a lot done. Deep cleaned the kitchen (which took hours) the dining room, the living room and foyer. After hours of getting up and down from my step stool, I pooped out, so we didn't get to the bathrooms. We'll each do one this week. Part of cleaning was dealing with the pantry cupboard. All tidied up, and items that had been languishing got tossed. I gave myself permission to throw away many items such as old vases with hard water marks and stained tea towels. I do my best to recycle and donate when I'm purging, but some stuff just has to hit the trash bin.

I thought I would fall asleep early last night after all the physical activity, but I was awake past midnight. I decided it was because the chi released from removing dirt and clutter was zooming around the house. :)

Today is laundry, a smallish paperwork task for work, and then a show at the Guthrie Theater. It's called All The Devils Are Here, and is a one man show about Shakespearean villains. It's had great reviews, and I'm really looking forward to it.

I have SO much paperwork, despite using my paperwork day for the quarter. I decided to use a sick day on Tuesday and get some more knocked back here at home.

Ann, what a great time with your niece. You made me laugh about the pours at the bar. In my heavy drinking days I always thought the pours at the bars were skimpy! It's all in the perspective. But let's face it, I'm a guy who has never embraced moderation well, try as I might!

I suspect Molly is pregnant. She is not eating in the morning, which is a good indication of morning sickness. Three weeks into pregnancy is about when it hits. Ultra sound is this coming Thursday. Fingers crossed.

I have a day off from everything! How very, very unusual. I am going to get at least a little cleaning done. I noticed yesterday the doggy dust bunnies in the entry way look like tumble weeds! I may also try to squeeze in an extra workout since I have the time!

I had weird stress dreams early this morning. I dreamt I awakened to find the front door ajar and cars parked on my front lawn and workers had started emptying my garage of its clutter. Then while trying to help them organize, my BFF shows up, which is fine. But then suddenly a client I haven't seen in years shows up followed by a groomer friend with a friend in tow and I realize I have a grooming to do. BFF is angry that I have a grooming, then the client forgot to bring her dog and suddenly I'm living in a glorious house up on a hill that has a four bridge view of the San Francisco Bay, but I'm supposed to be moving or deciding to move. Then there was something else about the guy who was in charge of cleaning up the garage being interviewed by my client because he was some bigwig celebrity. Oh, the tangled dreams I dream!

I am off to have a leisurely morning, a second cup of joe and to enjoy the Sunday quiet. Toodles!

We stopped at 5 yesterday! She does 10-15 mile hikes regularly. So I felt as if I was cheating her by running out of gas at 5 to 5.5.

What a great visit and how wonderful that your niece has grown into a great young woman! I can't drink mixed drinks these days and try to just sip wine. I drank water in between at DD's bachelorette pub crawl which saved me.

Ten miles is a real hike, CC, especially on that kind of terrain. I'm proud of you. Not sure I could handle that distance right now, but it's interesting to think about doing those kinds of hikes again. I know I could work up to it, but it would be a season's accomplishment for me. Hmmm ....
