Friday Jan 8

Woke up with a dusting of snow on the ground. Took Paxton out at 7:30 and all he did was want to run in the snow the entire time. I think he ran for 3/4 of the 1 mile walk. Maybe he'll take a good nap this morning instead of following me around.

Steve said he was feeling better this morning but was again kind enough to watch T.V. downstairs last night and then to sleep upstairs in the guest room. At least that room gets used for something. This morning I clorox wiped everything that I thought he may have touched. I know, I know, some think I'm becoming too much like Howard Hughes. Oh well, better safe than sorry in my book.

Got my main living area cleaned this morning and then ran to Kroger. My neighbor called and asked me to lunch so we went out and I had a liverwurst sandwich with mustard. YUM!!!

Came home and took a 45 minute nap and then took Paxton out again for the afternoon walk. It was windy and cold. I put a pot of chili on and made cornbread for dinner. That also was really good.

Steve is feeling better but not 100%. One more night in the guest room.

Christmas Present Book Review: The Help by Kathryn Stockett. Takes place in Mississippi in the early 1960's. It's basically about a couple of key families and the maids that serve them. This was a great book, one that I was sorry to have ended. I would highly recommend. Thanks to Valerie (and Ross) for the wonderful gift.
