And Another Thing
I've decided to take a shot a NANOBLOMO this month, because the theme is lists. And if I can't come here and jot down some kind of list every day, then I should pack this blogging thing in and get a new hobby.
• It's snowing. Again. My mother told me yesterday that New Hampshire is a few inches away from breaking the all-time record for the snowiest winter ever. If it were Massachusetts, I wouldn't be so impressed. But in New Hampshire? They get a lot of snow to begin with. I feel like I should send my brother and his family a gift basket or something. No wonder my aunt responded with a combination of swears and prayers when I mentioned the possibility of snow on Easter, which she hosts. That had seemed a little .... odd at the time.
• The snow today means I'll have to cancel my 11:30 appointment to be stuck with scores of needles. I'm bummed about this. However, it will give me a few more weeks to save my pennies.
• I have a new ailment! Exciting, right? Now my left wrist is killing me and I can barely lift a cup of coffee with it! I guess it's official: I'm middle-aged. Also: Ava's too heavy, finally, for me to carry with one arm.
• I recently read one of the best novels ever written: I Know This Much Is True, by Wally Lamb. Nine hundred pages, and I believe I read the final 400 pages in less than 12 hours. I just could not stop. According to the Internets, a movie's in the works. Hopefully the movie will be 4 hours long because they MUST NOT cut ANYTHING from this book. I highly recommend it. She's Come Undone, Lamb's debut novel, was incredible too, although I can barely remember it. I remember loving it, and being amazed (AMAZED!) that a man wrote it. But.... that's about it. See? Failing memory + sore joints = middle-age.
• Last year I came thisclose to buying a treadmill, and now I'm so glad I didn't, what with my aging joints and all. Today, I'm going to buy an elliptical. That's right, I'm going to take the $75 I save by not going to the acupuncturist, and use it to buy a $1500 elliptical. That's how math works in Kris' World.

I read She's Come Undone, years ago. I'll definitely get his next book.
Sorry about your wrist! I got that way when Genoa was a newborn - it was something about the way I was carrying her and it disappeared as soon as she was big enough to sit on my hip. Now I'm curious to see how big Ava actually is!
