    I’m… um… I’m feeling fairly exhausted right now and it’s just a minute over 8 am. This is not new. Unfortunately, it has become very typical and expected. What’s different is that I’m not out for a walk in the near-freezing cold. … just stuck my head out the door. Actually, it’s not that bad Read more

    Random update: This morning, I’m back on the exercise bike. This isn’t bad but a little different. I started the bike in the mornings to help stretch out my hip while looking at classes.
