Why Am I Up at This Hour?

I was up at 4:30 AM. I have no idea why except that that was when my eyes opend and my brain clicked into running mode.Italian Phrase of the Day: Ho rinunciato al cioccolato ed il gelato questo anno.
{I gave up chocolate and ice cream this year}

My comment: Ma no, no, no! Non ho rinunciato al cioccalato. Forse il gelato ma non al cioccolato!

Actually, despite my comment under the quotation, I DO need to eat less chocolate and other stuff. I got on the scales this morning and, well, let’s say the needle stopped at a different place than it did before I threw all caution to the wind. The mind boggles to think where it would be if I wasn’t doing even the small amount of walking I am doing!
List for today: {Not necessarily in the order they will be done…}

• read until it gets light. Fortunately, I went to the library yesterday.
• clean the kitchen and bathroom floors
• go for a walk
• drive into town and take my Ipod to the Mac place. I find walking very difficult without music.
• look for my Paint Shop Pro disk {at home, not in town! } Hmmm, that could be an all-day job in itself…}
• do some Italian
• go for another walk.
• go to Barnes and Nobles since I am right there {when I go to the MAC store….}

QUOTATION FOR THIS MONTH: If you are distressed by anything external, the pain is not due to the thing itself, but to your estimate of it; and this you have the power to revoke at any moment. — Marcus Aurelius

Until later….
