Me too, Helia.Slow here too, I think just b/c I can.
scattered, I consider getting a massage now and then something I do to keep my body and mind healthy. It's really more "body-work." I carry a lot of stress in my shoulders because I hunch at a computer so much.
Need to also schedule a hair cut and some highlights here. Instead of coloring all over, I'm just doing some blonde highlights on the top layer so it blends a bit with the gray. My old hairdresser encouraged me to keep the bangs, and I'm so lovin' life without having to have them trimmed every 5 weeks since I changed a couple of years ago.
Just rec'd email that Hillel of GT will deliver a Hanukkah basket during Hanukkah/finals week to my son in return for a contribution. I almost think he'd rather not be bothered by it, but it's a great idea. As it turns out, he will be coming home the afternoon of the Friday of Hanukah, I think the 7th night - I'll have to leave after I have CPE here ending at 4, so I'll likely miss the service and dinner at temple. DH is already committed to being the "Latke King" again this year at temple.
Must get going.....must get going.
Going to head out on errand run in a minute, with body work to follow.
it is getting better now that DS20 has a job and contributes to the household. Maybe soon I will be able to afford it. BTW I wear a Bob with bangs and don't color my hair because I have been blessed with Dgma's wonderful silver gray hair so people think that I highlight my hair. I say that my hair color is "cinnamon & sugar" rather than "salt & pepper."

DH bought me a Nook Color last Christmas. He also bought the paperback instructional book on how to use the Nook. Last Dec. 2011, I read chapters 1 & 2. Then, it's sat all this year, until last night. I found the section on how to make Shelves. So there I sat up until 12:50 a.m. making shelves. I put the Nook to bed, I went to bed, but tossed and turned until 2 a.m. The Nook was too much stimulation. However, I slept until 9:15 a.m. so got in enough sleep. After this, I'll read instructions when I get the gift- thoroughly!
