Once again today has arrived

Today I survived on rum and bourbon balls that the programmers brought in. I ate a lot of them and should have energy to run tonight. Arnold has no soccer practice since he's got midterm exams going on so I only have to pick up Rachel and go straight home. Yesterday I actually got to run in daylight. It was so exciting. I haven't done that in ages. I haven't been very good about my long runs either. It's unfortunate because this weekend I have a 20 mile run on the schedule and I'm not sure my body is going to like that. Oh well, whatever doesn't kill me makes me stronger, right?
I also sent holiday cards out. Well, not to you, but to everyone else I know ;) I sent so many my hand started to cramp. I guess if I were clever I'd have used labels, but I had the cards and the envelopes and if I put it off for a minute I'll never do it.
I ordered presents for the boys too. Damion made out like a bandit because I couldn't find the 4gb ipod nano anymore so I had to get him the 8gb one. It's for both Hanukah and his birthday though. I got Arnold some books on theoretical physics that he wanted and an SAT study guide that he'd asked for. Rachel will get some silly cheap thing since I got her a notebook computer a month ago that counted for birthday and Hanukah. Alexandra....well I have to find something for her. She wants cash and she wants to go to the mall with an ex-girlfriend of mine who is not happy with me, doesn't want to talk to me, but still likes Alex. I'm not sure that it's a great idea, but what am I gonna do.
