I cooked a meal. Now my house smells like cabbage -- Mr. and Mrs. Bucket, table for two? -- and I washed about a million dishes and pots and things, but we had the traditional holiday/birthday meal and it was good. And I was good; I had everything, including some soda bread, but a reasonable amount of all of it.

My hearing aids are coming along nicely. Most of the time I'm not even aware of them, which is pretty much what you're going for with these things. But things sound strange when I'm in the car, and when I'm singing along with the music in the car -- oy. I can't even explain it. I'll have to try singing someplace else to see what it sounds like, but since I don't exactly sing in public, I'll have to wait until I'm home along and give it a go.

Otherwise, a quiet day. I did finally get to see all of An Inconvenient Truth; I'd already fallen asleep to it three times, which is why I'm keeping it on the DVR, for occasions when I need to fall asleep and have nothing else to lull me there. It was really quite good. (It's just easy to fall asleep to the sound of one person speaking for a period of time.) I like Gore and I believe him, so that's that. Even if he's not 100% accurate, it seems pretty clear that he's on the right track; our own everyday eyewitness evidence should prove it.

My last task for the evening is to find a daily podcast, about 15 minutes long, that I can listen to while I'm walking the school hallway tomorrow morning at 7.00 am, which is a good time to get my walk in. When I walked Friday morning, the only person I ran into was the head custodian, who said "Doing your laps?" which I was. The building is bigger now, so I can stretch one lap into 15 minutes, which is better than nothing. As you may have guessed, I haven't been to the gym in a few weeks. I'm blaming the weather, and I'm sticking to it.
