Last night I had the best night’s sleep in ages. I came home from a late dinner of good sushi, changed clothes, and curled up on my bed with the television on. The plan was to eventually get up and hit the kitchen for some ice cream, but I never made it. The next thing I remember, I was being told to get under the covers, and I obliged.
At the moment, nothing on my body is aching. I’m about to stretch, so that’s likely to change. But for right now, for just this moment, I feel rested and pain free. I’m calling this state of affairs the birthday present from God.
Gotta get some protein in me now and head off to kung fu. I’m excited to see the kids, since I had to miss teaching on Wednesday. Have I mentioned how much I love teaching? More later.

Hi Andrea, many thanks for the award nomination, but I’m going to have to respectfully decline. Feel free to remove my blog from whatever list it may be on. While I would certainly welcome the new readers, I find that just writing my daily posts takes more time out of my life than I can afford. I rarely get more than five hours of sleep. All the requirements, etc for these awards, I just can find the time to do. But thanks again.

It’s all good! There’s no requirement to participate and no list that you’re on. I just happen to subscribe to you and figured you’d like a go at it. Good luck in all your writing efforts!
