Onwards into the Storm
I ordered a BlendJet, recommended by
one_raido, because I want to make smoothies. There's one low carb one with strawberries and peanut butter powder, but sheesh. Peanut butter powder and protein powder are expensive. It would last a long time though.
I finally, finally remembered to put my clothes in the dryer. Sometimes it's the little things. They smell mildewy, but I hope that the dryer will help.
I listened to the Randy Rainbow parody set to "Evergreen," and I've been wandering around singing "Evergreen". Boggled my mind that I remember any of the lyrics. I was a Barbra Streisand fan as a kid, but that was more years ago than I care to think about. I can just see me as an old lady in a nursing home singing "Evergreen," and annoying the other residents :)
I have to admit that I bought some turnovers last night. But! They tasted too sweet and kind of gross, so I won't be doing that again.
I think that Zara and Mimi had some sort of dust-up, and Zara got her licks in. Mimi came over to me last night for snuggles, and Zara growled and carried on, and Mimi went away.
I think that I'm going to take a nap after breakfast and brave the snow later. Walgreens isn't that far away.
Why are random guys sending me friend requests on Facebook? Go. Away. I want to meet real live people in Champaign, which is why I'm dieting. (Well, and vanity's sake.)
Crud. I forgot to get cat food last night. I also want to pick up some almond milk for smoothies and coffee, so I'll go to Walmart tomorrow.
I lost almost another pound despite cheating with turnovers. Cool beans.
I'm inwardly grumbling because it's cold out, and I need to blow-dry my hair after my shower. Really, Adrienne? First world problems. (As it turned out, I didn't dry my hair because I was running late. And my hair didn't turn into icicles.)
Zara is annoyed because she's standing on my arm, and I moved it to pour water. Cat world problems.
Success. Back with my meds. And Walgreens had passion fruit LaCroix water, so I thought that I'd try it, and oh, is it good. LaCroix for the win! Now I'm looking for cheap LaCroix water on eBay :)
Hmm. I should work on homework. But I really want to take a nap. Who am I fooling. I'm going to take a nap. But I have to remember that my goal is to get a (free!) programming degree. It's less important now that I've gotten my new job, but still, layoffs happen, and I'm the newest person. So I need to do homework tonight. Couldn't fall asleep.
Drat. I bought blueberries to mix with yogurt, only to find out that they're high-carb. Well, I'm in a learning process.
Talked to Mom for two hours. (!) Most of it was about food, the state of the world, and my aunt. My mom sounds good. She has sent my Christmas presents now, and she wants me to send hers, and we'll open presents together over the phone. I need to wrap and package her present, but it's a necklace, so it shouldn't be a big deal. Plus I want to loan her my book about The Four Tendencies in the hope that she can understand my aunt better.
Hmm. I want to go to sleep but homework. At the very least, I should study Italian before going to bed.
