:heart:We had a quiet Christmas day, just my husband and i and our youngest daughter at home for Christmas breakfast. We exchanged gifts with her; then she left to spend the day with her boyfriend, and it was just the two of us. The family will gather at daughter #4's house on Friday to celebrate.

  • Program: House of the Valkyrie day 3; instructions say "you must claim at least one" weapon; i did two, Windcore and Stormhammer (8lb db). I hope i won't regret this later.
  • Program: TEN day 30 :completed: This program was such a mental battle for me, even just to start it! (i had been looking at it for a long time.) There was just something about the 10minutes non-stop that made me really anxious. In the end, it was less difficult than i feared, and i am glad i did it.
 
Thanks again, @MangoTux, @Anek, @Fremen, @NightTigress, @JCU, @Syrius, @Niki, @Lady Celerity, @Laura Rainbow Dragon, and @TopNotch!:lovely:
