Spring?

It's supposed to hit 70 here today and we are invited to go out for ice cream tonight.

I spent a couple hours working on CSN yesterday, but it seems a little remote now. I also worked on my sewing project at Amelia's shop, which was more immediate. 

This morning, our favorite neighbor, Libby, introduced us to a visitor from South America and her son, as we were walking the dog. The woman is here for medical treatment. I imagine it is pretty serious if she has come all this way. I am thinking of them. I was glad to be able to greet them in Spanish, maybe it will feel a little less strange. I wonder how many medical people here speak Spanish. 

I filled out online paperwork to volunteer at the Food Bank, but have heard nothing yet. Perhaps my note that I can't really lift a lot or stand a lot limits my usefulness to them. Or perhaps they don't need any more volunteers right now. Or perhaps they are short staff and don't look at volunteer inquiries every day. 

I did a 7:00 yoga class yesterday and an 8:00 class today. A friend from Athens was there as well. It was a very easy level 1 class, but I felt really good about it.

I decided to eat less oatmeal. I've been having it every morning (except Sunday) for a while and I'm wondering if it is contributing to my minor weight gain. I think Christmas always adds a bit and perhaps travel as well. I think the main thing is my small house. I take only a few steps going back and forth, with no trips upstairs. We're walking a good bit in the neighborhood every day, but maybe I should do more.
