February fast: day two

Today was a 'snow day' because we had a nasty 'ice storm' overnight, which made driving very treacherous (roads and pavements covered in one inch of sheet ice). This meant I worked from home (150 bottles in the apartment = temptation), but really it was the same routine as yesterday. I went to the gym early evening, and had dinner, finishing off that sickly sweet bottle of lemonade (water is better I think). Tonight it is Liverpool vs. Stoke. Didn't even remotely think about having a glass of wine. Without tempting fate this could be a walk in the park, when I have other more profound issues on my mind.

The following people have most generously pledged the following, which means we will raise nearly $3000 for worthy causes. Thank you all of you very much.
