The year is starting well, considering. I added 2 pounds over the holidays and got the annual cold from my nephews, though I'm almost finished with that. One week of running with cleo will burn those pounds off without a doubt. We're beginning to put together a plan for finishing off the back room of our house. It is currently serving as a computer room but we plan to make it our bedroom. We'll be installing flooring, since we currently have a concrete slab, and we'll be installing heating elements under that floor, since we currently have a concrete slab. There is some other finish work that needs to be done in the laundry room as well. My hope is that in the process we can also do some noise abatement - the washer, dryer, and central heat system are all side-by-side and can be quite loud.
The dogs are doing well, especially Brutus. He has managed to keep his weight down and he hasn't had any major pain issues to speak of. Cleo is her usual self - happy-go-lucky, though more affectionate than she was before her cancer.
Obviously this site has been reset - moved to a new server, using a new content system. I decided not to preserve any prior content as I have all the photos and have been looking for an excuse to sort/prune/prioritize them. Thus begins the year...
