I’ve made my (not high) step goals 28 days in a row, the most ever. The fact that our kitchen fridge went kaput and I have to climb the stairs to the auxiliary fridge in the basement helps.

(Of course, our other dog also gets extra walks.)

Anyway, one good consequence of two unfortunate things.

God didn’t create the sun until the fourth day. Evening, morning—where, and how, and for whom?
