Yesterday was a rough day.  I lost my cell phone and had to report it \u201clost or stolen\u201d.  On the way home from my volunteer work, I had to stop at the Sprint Store.  All the details of the report took about 90 minutes, and my walking for the day was 2 1\/2 miles, well above average.  By the time I returned home, I was too tired to reply to comments.  My legs cramped up and I had trouble sleeping.  I hope to catch up on comments and returning visits today, but will have to see how I feel.<\/font><\/p>\n
