Good Morning Everyone! I hope you all had a great weekend. David and I had a pretty low key weekend which was very nice. David and Judy gave us Netflix for Christmas and we received our first movies on Friday so we watched a movie on Friday and ordered in Chinese food. On Saturday we slept in and then went to the grocery store and watched two more movies. Sunday I took down all of the Christmas decorations. I know it is not New Years yet and most people keep them up until then but for the first time in a week I had the motivation. Vicki arrived back from the States yesterday after being gone for a month so we went on a run in the afternoon. I actually felt really good. I had taken at least a week off for Christmas and a cold. I am hopeful that yesterday's run is an indication that I have not completely lost the work that I put in prior to Christmas. I had a sore knee towards the end of the run but a little ice and some stretching took care of it.

Today I am planning on cleaning out the fridge and organizing the office. I have left the office until last because I need to get in a do some serious organizing. I am also hoping to get a run in with Vicki and maybe some pilates.

David had to go into work today but for those of you former or current federal employees he has an early dismissal. Tomorrow is a federal holiday so the Embassy will be closed. Not sure what we are going to do tonight. We have been invited to a party being held at the house of a guy David works with so we will probably stop by there. It should be a pretty low key New Years Eve.

Well I hope everyone has a fun and safe New Years!

Love from Athens.....
