Evening, all! What's this... nearly a week without a cafe post? Sacrilege, I tell ya...
Back in the realm of good habits, I be... had a temporary DragonWars addiction on FaceBook, but I dumped that this week. Realized that the only way to *really* improve was to either spend a lot of money or get hundreds of new friends to join me... and realized that even if *that* happened, it'd be pretty boring and dull. So... off with its (dragon) head!
Discovered that the headaches I've been having for the past couple of months are probably from my blood pressure going back up (something you young'uns won't learn about for a while, I hope

), so I'm back to exercising regularly, even if I don't feel like it.
Three straight days, marking 10-1/2 miles traversed, hundreds of pounds lifted, and plenty of smelly workout laundry

I'll be up again tomorrow, going for four in a row. Doesn't seem like much, but focusing on what's important really does help.
*plops on the sofa near the fireplace, hoarding the Endless M&M Jar*
Hmmm... five of these will do me for a bit... peanut, too... my favorite.
Lessee.... what else... oh, yeah... Valentine's day... scored again. I mean gift-wise, you dweebs. My wife's birthday is smack in between Christmas and V-day, which means I have to try to come up with three good ideas in short order. I got a passing grade on Christmas, with new slippers; got major kudos for her birthday, with a new camera; and made the third play on V-day with a new lunch box. Doesn't sound like much, I know, but she's on a real anti-clutter kick, and that's something that she (a) wanted, (b) didn't really NEED, and (c) was pleasantly surprised to receive.
I told her that she shouldn't expect anything really good for the next five years...
So... what's everyone else up to? How's Kim's afternoon training going, Variol? Anyone do anything fun for valentine's day?
*munches, one at a time... enjoying and savoring every crunch*
