Had part two of root canal today. Ow. Painful. Whoop-die-doo.

My Uncle Nick (great-uncle, really) died on Saturday night. Sad. Am going to funeral tomorrow. I only met him a few times. He was kind of mythical family member, seen rarely, and worked at the racetrack, training horses. And he was Italian, so what were we to believe, except that he was a bigwig in the Mafia? I suppose we’ll find out tomorrow, see how many large men with dark sunglasses are there.

Ran ten miles on Saturday. Was very good. Averaged 12 minute miles. Last mile done in 11:10. Am quite confident can finish half marathon faster than last year (2:55).

Valentine’s day is Friday. The first V-day I’ve ever been able to celebrate (see bitter diatribe from last year’s Feb 14 blog) and I’m cooking dinner for George. Sweet. 🙂

Helped out at Mardi Gras Store today. Filling packages. Making a few extra bucks, always handy. Have phone interview scheduled tomorrow at 11:30, half an hour before the funeral. Must remember to be outside at the time. This is a second interview, had first interview last week. Yay!
