What ho, Live Journal!

(The husband and I have been reading The World of Jeeves, Wodehouse's Jeeves short stories organized chronologically. Good, clean fun, but you start speaking affectedly two pages in.)

Spring break is over, and there really wasn't a lick of spring in it. Most of our temperatures were in the low 30s, with wind chills to boot. I was taking a cruise in my head, but my body was very much here. So, it wasn't bad, but it was not particularly memorable. And cold. I did mention that, yeah?

What did I find myself doing mostly? Watching videos, actually. My brain wanted a little downtime, and so we went with it. Over break, Bryon and I rewatched X.

I am finding that the suggestions in the book I talked about the other day are helping some. Who would guess that a doctor would know what they are talking about?
