Thanks, sweetie. I appreciate the continued prayers.

Yeah, Cindy's sun damage is quite noticeable, and she looked like she might also be a former or current cigarette smoker, which never fails to dry out skin elasticity and make people look leathery before their time. She has a lot of those noticeable purse-string lines around her mouth, which smokers get a lot of. If I were in her situation and wanted to devote my life to anti-war protests, I do believe vanity would force me to do it indoors or while constantly wearing a hat and SPF 60 sunblock.

I'm going to try hard to get in some fun this week. School starts next Monday, and I have this sinking feeling that once that gets underway, I may never have any fun again. I talked to a second-year medical student this past weekend who said there is still time to have a life if you set limits on the studying, so we'll see. I'm working out every day, which is very fun and vey relaxing to me. And I've talked my husband into going bowling on Wednesday afternoon and then to a movie and dinner after that. Sounds like pretty tame fun, doesn't it? Oh well, it's about right for old folks.
