I actually walked the dog today, to her great joy. I felt like such a good human. I am trying to get back into it, so I will announce here that I’m walking the dog tomorrow, and maybe that’ll shame me into it. Ted and I trundled into Cork this afternoon so I could buy some dumbbells. I decided it was much cheaper to buy a set of dumbbells and not use them than buy a gym membership and not use it. :) I’ll put them in my office (because…
