Plodding Through Lethargy

Ma is getting a few things done, despite the sudden and totally unrequested onset of late middle age.

At 30, you notice a few lines around the eyes.

At 40, you think to yourself, "Hey...life is probably half over and is it my imagination, or am I having trouble keeping the weight off?"

By 50, you discover that various body parts which used to work just fine, have in fact, been meeting secretly while you slept, drawing lots to see which one will inexplicably ache when you awake. You start to feel more like a grandmother than a mom, and...oh yes, it becomes abundantly clear that all those optimistic people out there have been wrong, they just don't know it, yet.

Lucky for them I am here to set people straight!

On the Mayo front, I haven't heard from Loren yet today, so I imagine he's quite worn out from the multitude of tests they are putting him through.

Also, he may have had to hire lawyers in a proactive move in case they want to put him back on statins.

(that part is bogus...I've had no word to that effect, but then, I've had no word to the contrary, either...)

In Christmasy news, I have just started on the official Christmas letter! Yes, I have the document up, 2.5 lines written, named and saved!

The rest of the two pages should just fall in place, right?

Also, my Susan Boyle CD, The Gift, arrived today :-D

Have gotten through it twice already. She may not be Renée Flemming, but you can't knock old ladies making it big! If SHE can do it, can Ma be far behind?

At least I'll be able to afford a personal trainer and get back in shape. Fitness DVD to follow, ha ha.

On the morale front, I'm taking most of the kids to see Tangled, tonight.

They almost never get to go to the theater, so this is a big, BIG DEAL.

Once we get home and they're in bed, I can resume my madcap life of lying on the couch and relaxing.

If I feel particularly energetic, I may even eat an apple.
