I am not swimming this morning, because not only does my shoulder hurt, but I got a stiff neck while sleeping, presumably because I was in some way trying to compensate for the achy shoulder. *sigh* And the pool’s closed tomorrow because it’s St. Patrick’s Day. So I guess I’ll do Pilates today and try to go for a longish walk. And maybe try to buy a new pedometer. *sigh* many thinks to do: – make bread – do pilates – count de money (de monet, de monet!) – maybe…
mostly metrics
Ted made a stunningly good dinner tonight. Salmon with herbs de provence in dijon mustard, and grilled vegetables and lemon-and-garlic spinach. Insanely, insanely good.

froots!
Got TRUTHSEEKER turned in fairly early this afternoon, so I went out of the house and had a mad shopping spree wherein I bought: 1 cherry tree 2 planters 3 raspberry/tayberry/black currant bushes (each) a large bag of compost, and 1 starter kit for knitting a sparkly silver scarf That last bit is Mom’s fault. I love the sweaters she made me so much it has made me decide maybe I want to give knitting a try after all. If I like it, I’ll have a scarf! If I don’t…maybe…
