My extended snowcation, in conspiracy with the evil weight scale, compelled me to get creative finding ways to exert myself productively, rather than sit, eat, and watch stuff.  I walked the equivalent of to Avdi’s to music, cooked a pile of veggies, read another political history article, and reorganized my bathroom storage.  Desperate times!  But the gang will be on their way back shortly, so I should be rejoining general population soon.
