The first came and went almost without notice — Saturdays are a challenge, as I do the radio show, and then a volunteer thing, and by the time I’m home and napped and have done some chores the day is pretty much done.

I don’t understand how two people generate as much laundry as we do.

But yesterday was the first of the month, which means it’s time to get back on checklists and etc. Last September was the high water mark for me for fitness and weight, and since then it’s been very up and down; I’d like to recapture some of that September magic and apply a bit more stick-to-it this time around.
