      Morning!  And Merry Christmas to those that celebrate it.

       

      I have 11 miles tonight.  Other than that, quiet day, with hubby on call.

        Morning and Merry Christmas if you celebrate, happy Wednesday if you don't Smile 3.1 in feels like 6F this morning, 3.2 yesterday - this is the most I've run on consecutive days since last fall and the gym was closed so none of it was on a treadmill, I'm happy but a bit nervous. Hopefully I've built up slowly enough that my legs will be fine tomorrow.

         

        Too many sick kitties lately, one of mine is now scratching out big tufts of fur. Calling the vet first thing tomorrow - she's still eating, drinking, acting normal except for the scratching, licking, and lots of sneezing. Hopefully just allergies. I really need to clean my house while I'm off this week, dust and pet hair everywhere, so maybe that's her issue.

          Hmmm.  Trixie overgrooms and her hair falls off but I am not sure if it's the right time of year for your cat to be shedding.  Hopefully, it is allergies.

              Merry Christmas.  Got up first and went for a short run on the street after a little snow.  First run since Saturday felt good.  Just me and the salt spreaders today.

                    We haven't started our Christmas yet cuz my brother is sick in bed Sad. He has strep throat. Yesterday thought it was maybe the flu based on how miserable he was and having a fever but he went to one of those soc-in-a-box Urgent Care places and had a positive strep test. They gave him antibiotics so hopefully he will feel better soon. He missed Christmas Eve dinner and Midnight Mass though. Poor guy. He is home from grad school in Hawaii for the first time since June and LOVES Christmas.

                      Merry Xmas to celebrators. I realized I can change my schedule a little without work and appointments getting in the way, so I'm going to take a rest day and get things done before heading to my brother's. Enjoy the day off, (almost) everyone!

                        Merry Christmas everyone and kudos to those of you who are managing to run today, despite all the activity and cold weather.

                         

                        I'll be taking a couple of days off, as we're heading to Maryland this afternoon for a couple of days with the kids and grandchildren.  Given how much I'm eating, I really should be running today;-)

                         

                        Funny thing, yesterday as I was admiring Melanie's cookie picture, the doorbell rang and a neighbor we barely know handed me a plate of Christmas cookies.  We had talked to her husband as he was out running the day before and I mentioned that with just the two of us, it wasn't worth baking cookies, especially since I can and will eat them all.  Evidently he told his wife, who prepared us a plate of goodies.  Very nice.

                            Merry Christmas Penguins.  Plan was to run today but other events may cause that to not happen.  Oh well, I'll get it done tomorrow.

                            Running for TJ because he can't.

                              Merry Christmas, Pens! We have one VERY excited DD this morning.

                               

                              She Can: DD opened the painting and, for the first time ever, was speechless. Her first words were "That is so swag!"  Thank you from all of us! Smile

                                That is the coolest gift ever. Your DD must be thrilled, Jack. Cherie really captured the strength and beauty of your daughter in her painting.
