Mellowing out with some Zin on our NYE 🍷
The four of us have played 3 games of the standard Catan and one with the Seafarer’s add-on. Each person has won 1 game which is rather remarkable. This is definitely been our go-to board game since the holiday break started.
We managed to successfully repaint walls in my wife’s she-cave so we feel all productive 💪. Now we’re sitting here with our stomaches growling as we try to wait until dinner time to go get some tavern cut pizzas (take out). 🍕
I’m so very grateful and blessed. In spite of Covid and etc we’ve had a lovely time together this holiday break.Much 💗here.
TFW Apple’s Fitness+ HIIT workout doesn’t register any of your time as exercise 😖
We called my nephew today to wish them Merry Christmas. I could tell something was wrong. Turns out he was in the ER til midnight and diagnosed with pneumonia after coughing up blood. Worst thing is they saw a spot - he has to wait 3 months for another scan to see if it grew😭
My wife gave me Airpods Pro for Christmas 🎁. Initial impression is: WOW, what a difference compared to my old Airpods and Powerbeats.
It’s great Apple included the test feature. I would have ended up using the wrong size without that.
Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas to all in the micro.blog community! Here’s to all of us persevering through 2020 and into the start of 2021. What we do collectively makes a difference.
This is the only time of year my list of tasks in Things is empty by the afternoon. That sounds good but… end up being lazy on the sofa.
My wife and I played Catan with our son and daughter. It somehow turned into a 2.5 hour duel. The great thing is nearly the whole time was laughter. Well, with a few minutes of someone yelling in angst at another player’s move.

My wife and daughter’s collab for the day - oatmeal and raisin cookies. So yummy!
I’ve done Apple’s new Fitness+ workouts 3 days now and the positive first impression is strengthening. If they’re going to refresh the content as often as they say I think it will be quite easy to stay with it.
It is Christmas gift wrapping night at our home. The resulting giggles and laughter feel like balm for the soul.

Mr. Claus aka Santa
I tried a couple of the workouts in Apple’s new Fitness+ service. I really liked them - I had been afraid the content would all be super hard cord but it isn’t. I think my family would love it but… I’m the only one with an Apple Watch. Not keen on Apple’s decision about that.
