Thanks
Thank you, anonymous, for the Squirrel Love vgift!
Speaking of squirrel love, I've been working diligently on taming a squirrel on campus. I don't usually do this but I have to catch this one and bring her into the nursery. She's got some sort of cyst on her left cheek and is unable to crack shells. She responds when I call her and sits nearby when she eats. I've been cracking the shells for her and giving her shelled nuts. She eats them albeit slowly.
Today I finished my 2nd week of serious exercise. If you recall, after my 1st workout last week, I was unable to do even a single situp 2 days later. I suppose doing 90 situps after doing none whatsoever for 6 months will do that. This week I did 100 on Wednesday and another 100 today. Yes, I'm getting back in shape! The lifting is going well too. I kept the weight fairly low (25# dumbbells for most exercises) and plan to start increasing the weight next week.
If I get out of the house tomorrow or Sunday, I'll be able to knock off another of my 101 items. The Germanic-American Institute is having a festival this weekend. They'll be showing Germany's first World Cup match on Sunday afternoon and since I'm no longer working the afternoon shift in the nursery, I'll be able to go. I may, however, just stay on my porch & feed squirrels. We'll see.
