We’re spending Christmas in Idaho this year with J’s family. It’s ridiculously cold here, so my plans of running and frequent exercise have been reduced to mini-walks around the neighborhood. I’m hoping to get some schoolwork done while I’m here, although it has been nice to sleep in and relax–to wind down and slow down–during our vacation. It’s difficult when I have spare time because I feel like I should be “doing something productive” 24-7. This may be why I don’t post often to my blog–Twitter has met my mini-posting needs. Perhaps I shall produce another Christmas update before the year is over. For now–more coffee and Anne Lamott.
