"less painful power ups"? haha, that is no pain but pleasure for me every time I am doing it! but, well, I understand what are you talking about. maybe 'pain' is just not appropriate work for that. We are doing well - eating pastry, !PIZZA, watching movies, avoid cooking... trying to enjoy the benefits of leizure festive Christmas week (official vacays in my country last till January 8). and dont forget about the mulled wine. A little enjoyable pause in the everlasting rat races :P
