New gait and balance instructor put us through our paces today. She kept us moving for nearly all of the 90 minutes of class. I came away a bit zonked but feeling good overall. Took H for a bunch of errands after reading some more of Human Smoke to him. We made runs to the vet, the light bulb place, bagel shop, and library. I was hungry after we finished the errands and I stopped and grabbed a burrito.

Went by the pharmacy to pick up refills. I have hit the donut hole! $250 was my part of the bill for two refills. Oh, happy days!

Watched a gritty film this afternoon--Frozen River. It was about a woman who was having to fend  for herself to take care of two kids and a stack of bills. She gets involved with an Native American girl who introduces her to smuggling people across the border. They do so in a section of the border that falls within a Mohawk reservation. The United States is on one side, Canada is on the other, split by a river that freezes up in the winter months. It's a good film--tight and tense. The lead actor is Melissa Leo, who does a great job as the mother, provider and apprentice smuggler. She's done quite a bit of work in films, but isn't that well known, I guess. She's been busy and has several projects underway.

Movement class in the morrow!
