Hobbits playing Ukulele

Had a lovely twelve hours of sleep last night. Woke up feeling better than I did, and had an omelet for lunch, then went for a walk. Walked along the trail near my apartment and met a lot of people out with their dogs, enjoying the suddenly awesome (if annoyingly unseasonable) weather. Got a good three miles in, so I'm now twenty-five miles into the Hobbits' journey to Rivendell, or seven miles into their second day.

I may get on the treadmill and do another mile or so later tonight. I gotta make up for the last few days of not feeling well.

Another three-chord song has been discovered by me just noodling around on my ukulele. Twinkle-Twinkle Little Star, Amazing Grace, and Kum-by-yah all can be played using the C-F-G7 chords exclusively. It's rather fun to mush them together. Also, "Somewhere Over the Rainbow" just uses those three plus E minor. The F# chord still hurts to play, but not as much. Lately, I've been getting the feeling that my left hand has been getting stronger. Thank goodness. *employs stress-ball, aggressively*
