So, my solution to the awkward situation at the office was to try to channel Grace Kelly - a short, polite, cool response to a really long email that left me feeling quite uncomfortable. I hope that's the end of it. It should be - but I'm saving the email exchange just in case. This is taking place on my work voice and email, of course - I have never given this guy my personal contact information, or the impression I'd want to see him socially. It's awkward, embarrassing, and I hope it just stops.

I've been walking every day after work - I come home, change and go right back out again before I can change my mind, because if my ass hits a chair I will not get up again. I've been taking Murphy with me, but I think walking that much every day is too much for him. Today he gets a short walkie, comes home and I go out without him for a longer walkie. That will blow his little mind, but he'll have to adjust. I realized I'm such a nut about my dog, I was tailoring my exercise to his needs. Sheesh.

Still working on the Harlot poncho, but didn't get much done last night due to talking on the phone. Tonight I'll Harlot through the debate, if I can stand to watch it. Right now I'm reading The Price of Loyalty. People who still make excuses and apologies for this administration and the way it operates really need to read this book, which is very well written and readable, even if the subject of economics normally makes your eyes glaze over (it does mine). These people need to go. God help us.

More to say about knitting and new books, but I'm running late.
