I’ve been expecting a package today. FedEx was supposed to deliver it. (I didn’t choose FedEx; the shipper chose them, and they are footing the shipping bill, so it’s not my place to be too picky). According to the website, the package has been on the truck for delivery since … Continue reading →
PBW was reading my mind, or perhaps, my body today. Her Monday Ten was titled, “Health Ten.” I’ve been taking Osteo Bi-Flex for at least a month and a half now. That’s a brand name for glucosamine chonroitin. It’s supposed to renew cartilage and lubricate joints. My PA recommended it. … Continue reading →

No progress on If These Walls Could Talk. I have, however, been slicing and dicing the first 5k of Twilight.
