Where 've been and what was I thinking?

I have been trying to keep my time on the internet to a minimum lately and pursue more beneficial hobbies, like picking up the piano again, learning more advanced raw foods preparation techniques, getting back to drawing and taking up running. I am slowly making progress on the piano, it's amazing how much you forget over the years. It's finally cool enough out to run the dehydrator again so after a summer on pretty much all raw fruit and sprouts, I'm back to some of the more complex gourmet foods I can make in the dehydrator. I’ve lost almost 10lbs from the running too. Still “working” (more playing) with Kiwi to learn his puzzle and swizzle sticks with slow progress on getting the colors down! Kiwi is now allowing me to pet him (more a couple pats on the back, if theres a treat involved for him) and kiss his back too, and a few times I've even been able to pick the little guy up around the body. He is as soft as I always thought he would be

Sounds like you've been having a blast!

I haven't yet made progress on anything really besides making toys for the fids, I've been too busy being a burrito in bed on my laptop instead of sitting at my desk.

I would love to have a dehydrator, I think of things all the time that I could be making! Might have to ask for that for Christmas along with a sewing machine

Sounds like you are having a eat time! And while we of course miss you, I'm glad you are taking the time to take care of yourself
