    Again, hard to rouse. I'm not sure why this is happening, although it seems benign. Her naps have been very short and light over the last few days, and her energy has been good.
    Had a little trouble getting her up, this morning. I started in at 1300. I wasn't successful until around 1400, then it was very slow going. She was in excellent humor, though, and felt good.
    Breakfast: Normal holiday breakfast.
    Lunch: Just coffee.
    Dinner: French Onion Soup and grilled rosemary/garlic toast topped with Bruschetta.
    Retired at 0045, 12/4/06. Light out at 0115.
