In the main, since I got back, I've been focusing on getting caught up on work, spending time with Bill and friends, unpacking and catching up on laundry and such, and exercising. I've gained ten pounds since I sprained my ankle in June and with the other weight gain I've experienced since taking this desk job I'm back to the weight I was at last January. Frustrating. I feel like I'm in slightly better shape than then, though, I just need to get back into regular exercise. I'm off sweets now (please if it occurs to you, don't offer me any. thanks.) and trying to improve my diet, learn better foods to deal with the hypoglycemia. I've been doing dance workouts and the physical therapy exercises for my shoulder and knee which I had slacked on, slowly increasing the mobility and strength of my ankle. I'm taking my vitamins. I'm trying to make a habit of these things. Yesterday I rode a bike for the first time since I injured my shoulder last year in February. That felt good.

While in Vegas I got hooked on Firefly, and I've only seen 3 episodes, so I'm hoping to borrow the rest from someone.
I guess that's it for now.
