Movement class was small today--only three of us. Instructor was ill and her second took over. It was relaxing and helped counteract the cold weather--a cold that is getting more pronounced as the night progresses. In the low 30s tonight and through the weekend. Have a resistance training session tomorrow. Had a tuina session this afternoon and that's helping raise my energy levels and general well being.

Watched a Spanish film this evening--Amador. It's about a young woman who is living with a boy friend by whom she is pregnant. To help out with household money, she takes on a caregiver's job helping an old man. His children hire her to look after him but he dies half way through her first month with him. She wants to collect her money for taking care of him so she doesn't tell the children that he has died. And therein unravels a twisty tale of what she does to keep him "fresh" until her month is up. Along the way to the conclusion of this adventure, she learns a lot about herself, the world, and other people. It's an understated film throughout with a few sparks of humor involving the human condition in all of its forms. It's a little slow but the uncovering of the details of how she copes with such a situation kept me hooked and carried me along.

Ordered a 2nd pair of running shoes. They didn't have another pair in stock and will have to have them shipped in. The pair I have feel really good. I thought I might as well order a 2nd pair so I don't have to wear one pair to death--I can switch back and forth. Two pair should last me well over a year of constant wear.
