18 DEC 2005 : SUNDAY
Amanda and I got up rather early today (9 am). We took the time to have eggs, toast, strips, and fake sausage patties for bfast. I have already forgotten what we did in the morning, but it undoubtably involved random house chores and whatnot.
We eventually left the apartment to do errands. That took quite a while. My right lower leg was killing me (“shin splints”) so walking about was problematic. We were up in the Northgate area and decided this would not be a good place to live due to the traffic. Where we currently live there isn’t really all that much traffic and one can walk everywhere.
We were going to drop by University Village on the way back home… Amanda wanted to look around for something… but once there the place was overrun with holiday shoppers. We decided to just go home, where I proceeded to pass out.
Amanda spent the time dressing up our holiday tree and knitting a few ornaments. I woke up and make dinner: fusilli with porcini sauce, grilled asparagus, bread, brie, and a really tasty zinfandel. I cheated and bought a chocolate dessert for Amanda at the Safeway.
Amanda is now asleep. I have been cleaning and will try to get some exercise later. I dunno if I can run so perhaps I will use one of the strider things or the exercise bicycles after lifting.
