Slept late into the afternoon after being up late into the morning...for no good reason, really*. Weight was up, but BG and BP were both down. I think I am pretty well done with this flu, although I still felt tired, so much so that I didn't go out today. Tomorrow I'll have to, but that's tomorrow ( Read more... )

I made the mistake of starting S.M. Stirling's The Desert and the Blade last night, which meant I was up until 0600 and that pretty much fucked up my Wednesday. I went out to sign papers and move money, but I was too late getting out the door, so neither of those things happened. I didn't have coffee before heading out, so for a few minutes I sat ( Read more... )

Woke up around 1100. Weight and BG both lower today; BG in fact was back under 200. Celebrated with eggs and sausage and ham and cheese for breakfast. Fooled around a little bit with the original Bioshock, since Bioshock Remastered is worth every penny I didn't pay for it. The museum of unused ideas in Remasteredwas a pretty interesting conceit, ( Read more... )

Weight dropped like a rock today, BG went down a little.

Revised What Did You Do in the Cold War, Dad? for the last time and sent it off to Joy, Andrea and Rick for editing and beta reading. It'll be ready in mid-August, I guess ( Read more... )

Woke late this morning and on checking Facebook, found a note from my Aunt Pat informing me that my Uncle Brendan was dead, just a couple weeks after he turned 80 last month. I didn't think he'd last this long, frankly ( Read more... )

I woke late today (~1330) because I was up half the night playing Sword of the Stars after making several futile stabs at getting an online game going with jtrainorAte brunch, spent the rest of the day playing SOTS and Game of War; in the latter, my alliance has decided to break up, change names, and see if we can work on building up without the preeminent ( Read more... )

Eventually crawled out of bed sometime around noon, ate breakfast, did the FMJRA, and spent the bulk of the day dividing my attention between Facebook, Eye of the Storm

"That the Democratic party has attempted to hijack for itself credit for the hard and often bloody work performed for a century almost exclusively by Republicans, from Lincoln to Eisenhower, is a reminder that the party of Lyndon Johnson and Bill Clinton is not a place for men with a very developed sense of decency."

Today was the cross-faction meetup down in Occoquan, which I had never been to despite the town's being just fifteen minutes down Ox Road (Virginia Highway 123) from Chez Nguyen. It was good to see my Resistance compadres, meet some of the more sociable Frogs (though not, alas, BigDataDale or JLWasHere) and roam the street of a town so thoroughly ( Read more... )
