I had a scare with my mammogram. But, everything turned out to be benign.

Being nervous about the results, receiving gift baskets galore, with a contracted interval between Thanksgiving and Christmas PLUS a blockage in my bathroom pipes causing Class III major water damage have taken their toll on my will-power.

Anyway, I am still in the midst of the "clean-up" (carpets ripped up and discarded, lower third of all the walls were demolished in kitchen, utility room and bathroom. What a mess!! Trying to work with homeowner's insurance is a nightmare, not to mention contractors.

I've had my fill and I am feeling bloated. So, back to Cambridge. There are seven whole days before Christmas.

The compliments don't help either. But, what the heck. Let's keep going.
