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.

Let’s just say teaching my teenage daughter to drive isn’t my favorite Covid acitivity 😉 🚙
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.

Uno is a brave hamster. Riding high on a shoulder.
Jarritos Mandarin is my guilty pleasure when we hit the street taco place by our house. So good. But sooo unhealhty. 🌮
I had my physical this week and got the results of the associated blood tests today. There were marked improvements and I’m rather pleased with myself. I’ve really been striving to continue to improve my diet and exercise and some real progress will sure help me stick with it.
Old school indeed.
Also old school exhaust smell.
I had put my browsing through the Discover section on hold to keep political noise to a healthy-for-me limit. This week I remembered to stroll down Discover lane and it’s been a real pleasure finding new folks to follow.
Sign of the times: in the face of ever rising Covid cases and hospitalizations in our area I finally gave up doing grocery shopping. I placed an order at our preferred grocers yesterday and picked it up this morning. Darned convenient and everything was correct/well-chosen. 👍🏼

Moving day.
We decided our teenage daughter could have her gaming PC in her room and today is the day we moved it, the desk and sundry extras upstairs. The main reason was to free up the downstairs room to be my wife’s sewing room aka she cave. 😉 They’re both happy. 👍🏼
