There used to be a challenge at the gym I went to at work: get through the winter holidays without gaining any weight! Everyone who signed up to and succeeded got a free sweatshirt.

So far in November I've lost two pounds. Though that's kind of like being ahead by less than the margin of error in a poll--it may just be the result of random variation--it does suggest I haven't gained any. I'll try to keep it that way through the first week in January, and then go back to actively trying to lose it...

that's one nice thing

When I crocked my ankle and couldn't go up to NJ, it was the same day as my reservation at the hotel where I usually stay when I visit there, and the reservation I'd made was nonrefundable anyway,s o I didn't even bother calling to cancel it.

But looking at my credit accounts, it would appear they never charged me for it. How very nice!
