I'm gonna second everything you said about the clothes, including the 5#s since Christmas. But I always regard the first five pounds as "water weight" and don't get too excited about them... sigh...
It's not as warm today as it was yesterday. I started the weekend right, with a good nine hours of sleep. Of course, we are talking the nine hours between 3am and noon, but...
It's cold and clear here. So far I've done laundry, cleaning, and made a big pot of split pea soup for the week. I'm trying to get the kitchen and dining room good enough to photograph.
