I spent a great portion of 2011 in a state of near-panic about financial issues, which tended to overshadow other things on a day-to-day basis, but when I look back at the year, it was really a pretty good year (especially when compared to 2010, which definitely overstayed its welcome).

Saturday was cloudy and about 8 degrees warmer than had been threatened... we started the day at 52 and cloudy and the temps dropped a bit over the course of the morning, but the rain held off other than a bit of really heavy mist about 2/3rds of the way through the course.

I'll be talking to Dr. K's scheduler on Monday to schedule shoulder surgery ( Read more... )

Five minutes... one five-minute period all day... that's the only time I've been separated from my cell phone.

So... now I keep wondering 'til tomorrow.
