It turns out that all the shirts which were previously put in the oh my goodness you shrunk section of the closet now fit again and were apparently falsely accused of shrinkage. 90 days of walking an hour on the treadmill was enough to make this minor miracle happen. I have been serious about getting my treadmill time in after dinner every day. That hour of walking really does seem to make a difference. I have had to apply the silicone lubricant to the treadmill, but I have not had to replace the treadmill belt. That is probably going to happen at some point. A couple of dangerous Google searches seem to suggest that the belt might last 300-500 hours. If that is actually a true estimate, then replacing the treadmill belt is going to end up being a problem in the future. 

My big plan to sit down and spend some time writing tonight seems to have failed. The words are not flowing tonight. I did manage to write a couple words about my treadmill. That is something at least. It is not particularly good or really all that interesting, but it did happen and that is something.
