Sunday Seven

1) FEELING BETTER: I'm back among the living! I felt pretty miserable for 48 hours and then started getting better. I even went for a short run yesterday. It was a chilly 21 with a "feels like 13" with wind. I only have 5 more potential run opportunities until I begin the Euflexxa injections, so I was anxious to get out for the run. None of my run buddies wanted to brave the weather (weather wimps!), so I was resigned to run solo.

2) DASUQUIN FOR DOGS:  Our oldest dog, Bandit, has acquired a bit of a limp. It seems to be worse in the morning.  I suspect he is suffering from arthritis, so I went ahead and ordered Dasuquin chews with MSM for large dogs. It's essentially a glucosamine supplement for dogs. We give the cat version to our older cat and it really puts a bit of spring in his step. The dog version came in tablets or chews.  I figured the chews would be less of a struggle, and they are.  He loves them.  I'm hoping to see an improvement in a few weeks. Fingers crossed!

3) PHOTO A DAY:  I'll be joining a 365 project again at the beginning of January. It requires taking a photo a day and posting to a group site on flickr.  Part of the fun is seeing what others have photographed and shared.  I found it to be a great way to chronicle my year last that I did it.  If any of you want to join along, let me know!!

4) NEW STUFF:  My llbean order using the funds from my shoe return arrived last week.  I wore the Sugoi Sub-zero tights when I ran yesterday, and they kept my legs toasty. I had to send the Sporthill top back to exchange for a different size, though.

5) LAPTOP WOES:  I'm in the market for a new laptop.  My current laptop screen is broken. I can only use it when attached to an external monitor.  That's been working out okay for me for the most part, I usually use a tablet for most things and don't mind sitting at the desk when I use the laptop. However, with school starting for me next month, it seems I need a replacement.  There are so many choices right now that it seems overwhelming.

6) BRRR!: It's blustery and cold outside this morning and it looks like the cold weather is affecting almost everyone. Stay warm!

7) WINTER SMOOTHIES:  I've gotten into the habit of making protein and frozen fruit smoothies on an almost daily basis.  My favorite has a bit of a tropical flair.  Does anyone have any ideas for something a bit more seasonal?  I'd like to change things up, but I haven't come up with any good ideas.
