Kid Rock

After getting ready for this weekend's hike, I thought Wm was looking particularly hard core, so I got some awesome shots of him.

My favorite.

Unfortunately, while I seem to have pinpointed the cause of Steve's eczema (still MUCH improved!), Wm's remains a mystery.  And now that winter is coming, it's roaring back to life with a vengeance.  I made up a batch of super special healing eczema lotion with calendula, vitamin E, and tea tree oil, so we'll see if that helps.  If not, I may be forced to dig deeper into my arsenal.  Poor Willie is getting mighty itchy.  And just look how cute he is:

Goin' my way?

In other news, I have decided to get myself in shape to run a 10k.  I have survived Week 1 of the training schedule, so I'm on to Week 2!  I am NOT a runner, so it's not easy for me at all - and 10k sounds like a looooooong way.  But I have a cool app that tells me exactly what to do (it will bing into my headphones while I listen to my audiobook to tell me what I should be doing when) and it makes it easier.  This didn't stop me from almost puking on Day 1.  But I kept it down and persevered!  I'm trying to talk Lord LameHip into joining me!  Wm, as would be expected, shows zero interest.
