Default Everything feels much better today!

Now, while the sun is shining, I think I'll take a walk! I am resisting the idea of walking at my favorite outdoor outlet mall...but the pull...so magnetic...my feet keep slipping...Northwards...the tug is getting stronger...my credit card actually feels warm in my hand...like a living thing...the pull is getting stronger...now I hear a handbag calling my name...it's carried on the wind...so faint, but so clear...my keys have appeared in my hand...save me from myself!

Default I am sooooooo sore!

>Holy Week in the RC church when you are a member of the choir...my incision area is so sore that it is actually a bit sore to the touch! All that singing has taken a toll on me. I haven't been this sore since about 2 weeks out of surgery! No, I don't think I've popped a hernia, but I bet it came close. I could be Dr. Sax's first patient with a vocally-induced hernia!
>Easter dinner out was lovely, the perfect solution as to what to do with the in-laws and I didn't have to cook! They all loved the restaurant, we schmoozed a bit, then they went home. I got to read the Sunday paper, then nap in the comfy chair.
>I start another project at work tomorrow. Seems my writing talent on the last project is getting me noticed. A couple people higher up the food chain clamored for my assistance, in front of a couple VPs. My supe told me my next raise should be a good one!
>I should FINALLY have my first session with my trainer tomorrow. Me in a health club- will wonders never cease?
