I am going to leave for work in 10 minutes. I didn't sleep very well from about 4am on, so I have the achy feeling I get from that. I have a dr's appt at 1:30, which means I'll be home by 3 and can take a nap then if I need to. I think my least favorite part of this home stretch is the hung-over feeling I have when I don't sleep well. Where everything aches, my face feels flushed and I really want to just hibernate for a while. While I would love a beer, and am looking forward to one in the not too distant future, I really don't miss alcohol on a regular basis. Thank goodness for that. I had a really close call with it and given the genetics in my family (on my father's side anyway), I am very fortunate.

Took Ripple around the block once this morning - not a marathon, but something. Its so dark now in the mornings that I'm not 100% comfortable being out.

Packers and Cowboys won yesterday, so the Ziebell Richards household was happy. We went out to dinner (we so rarely eat out, it was fun) and then watched "Rome" on HBO. It was a good Sunday.

Off to work.
