Health Check 2009
I'm up early for a big day---for a health check-up with the specialist. Mom is going to her today, as well.
I read Marissa's blog about their mini Christmas vacation fiasco. Boo Hoo Hoo (or is it "Ho Ho Ho" as Solomon would say?) I loved her recounting of their stories of Santa love.

Upon returning from our yearly health checks (and a Taco Bell run), I wrote a couplet to respond to a poem and po'card from a couple I know:
Just finished my yearly check-up[s], and yearly mammogram this week.
All is well up to now...
Hopefully a bellwether for 2010!
My two total hip replacements I had (in 2008 and 2009) will once again allow me to Nordic ski, as I was wont to do on my way to class when at Wellesley.
Many well-wishes for your 2010.
I will tuck into the confines of my apartment three pillows made by Lalang. I hope my visitors will enjoy them as much as I do.

Cleaning/Organizing/Purging VI
Today I spent two and a half hours this afternoon going through my clothes to donate some of them...I emptied a suitcase, and went through my T shirts, light shirts, and some of my closet to donate.
After Jeopardy! Mom and I spent a little over four hours cleaning and organizing my winter layers, post card collection, stationery, gifts, games, files, photos, and hats. Dad showed up in the last half hour to help take down the curtains, and he brought a shoe rack, too. I organized the shoes.
We are all very tired after returning, and I just gobbled down two ES Tylenol.

Tracking...
...Solomon began tracking with his eyes (as his Daddy noted this evening). Mom, Dad, Les, Chere, William, Marissa, Beatrice, Solomon, and I enjoyed a lovely dinner together prepared by (ahem) Mom's Catering! Thin spaghetti with white clam sauce, a shrimp and veggie dish, two kinds of eggplant dishes, dressed and tossed salad, rice, and green tea or sodas were the spread. Beatrice had some gawdawful diaper rash, and was a good sport about her baby lapsit songs. The adults noted differences in the tune for "Head, Shoulders, Knees, and Toes."
Today I also posted grades for my students. I was generally pleased, with an average that made sense/jived statistically, and a fair testing procedure...I was actually ready to post Monday afternoon, but was sent away for Tuesday. Mom went to the Bill and Hill rally downtown in Market Square yesterday.
I also voted in the primary today.
Yesterday I received a fun postcard in the mail, which made me chortle. It was definitely one NOT to throw back to the fishes. Pretty funny...I may have to start a brand-new category just for this postcard! (Besides the fact that it took a while to arrive).
