Cleaned up, Plus

After work I finally loaded up Wii Fit Plus to check it out.  I was pleased with what I found.  They added a ton of new features, exercises and activities.  They even added functionality to track the weight of your pet.  Of course I had to immediately weigh Nicki and Sadie.  We were surprised to see that Sadie actually outweighs Nicki now by a couple pounds.  Nicki checked in at 53 pounds and Sadie was 55.  Hell she was a malnourished 39 pounds when we adopted her a year ago.

Anyway I tried some of the new yoga exercises and browsed around the various features which includes custom work outs, a calorie counter, food log and a bunch of other things, all of which seemed like improvements.  I need to get back into the swing of using it more regularly.  I weighed over 3 pounds more than my last weigh in!

I decided to make some productive use of my time last night instead of working on my various virtual selves in WoW.  We took down the Christmas tree and interior decorations.  We got to use the new tree storage bag Ali snagged.  It works out nicely, much better than the triple trash bag storage system I used last year.  The de-decorating process took less time than I expected. I think we had everything cleaned up in 90 minutes or less.  All that is left are the outside lights which I won’t be tackling until the weekend.

I felt my normal sense of mourning as I put the decorations away.  It’s a depressing act, even if Christmas doesn’t pack the punch it once did.  Sadie seemed rather upset that we were taking the tree away.  She has spent quite a bit of time just laying under it.  I think it made her feel like she was outside.  At least it’s nice to have the house more or less back in order.
