I slept and just laid low all day yesterday and I took a short walk today to mail some stuff.  (I&#8217;d probably have walked more except that it&#8217;s cold and windy and my lungs were not amused.)  I&#8217;m going to try and do some walking this week on my lunch hour if the weather isn&#8217;t bad up where I work as I miss it and I prefer walking in town and city settings.<\/p>\n<p>I did actually make it to Church #1 this morning&#8230; 5-10 minutes late because I forgot that worship was going to be at 9:15 instead of 9:30 so that Jon could have an extra 15 minutes to get up to Church #3.  Oh well.  There was smoked turkey and salsa at coffee afterwards so I made out quite well.  The large amount of protein I consumed is probably why I&#8217;m sleepy &#8212; well other than a warm study and a lovely office gremlin (who is tempting me by sleeping on the chair next to me).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Kristen and Pisco have both weighed in on where they stand with regard to the election in November so&#8230; My candidate of choice is Barack Obama, mostly because he&#8217;s pretty well the only one I can stand.
