Beautiful sunny day here in Central Florida. Sorry for those freezing back home, -25C with the wind factor. Crazy weather. Not sure if I heard correctly, it is supposed to be 8C by the end of the week.

We went to the vet yesterday with Jack, because he started shaking his head on the weekend and had a gray bump on his ear, we thought it was a tick. The good news is that it's not a tick, it's a small cyst. The bad news is that he has another ear infection. He gets 2 to 3 ear infections a year. He is on antibiotics and tresaderm ear drops. Poor Jack!

Finally finished reading Eat, Pray Love: One woman's search for Everything across Italy India and Indonesia by Elizabeth Gilbert. I had a hate/love relationship with this book. The books is divided into three parts, I found the first two parts, Italy and India difficult to get through but by the time I got to the third part; Indonesia it picked up a little.

First part, pleasure: savoring Italy's buffet of delights — the world's best pizza, free-flowing wine and conversation. — 'I came to Italy pinched and thin,' she writes, but soon fills out in waist and soul. Then, prayer and ascetic rigor: seeking communion with the divine at a sacred ashram in India, Gilbert imitates the ways of yogis in grueling hours of meditation. Finally, Bali, 'betwixt and between' studies with a medicine man and has a love affair.

Days."

The son said, "That's terrible.

Why haven't you eaten in 38 days?"

The mother answered, "Because I didn't want my mouth to be filled with food if you should call."
