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 1300, drank breakfast (protein shake and coffee) and performed the daily bloggage. Weight and BG were both down, and I finally got under 390 for the first time this month. The Uber pay dropped, so I put the SE tax in the shares account and avoided even looking at Amazon or anything else tempting. Chewed on some almonds in lieu of ( Read more... )

So I threw all my shit in the big suitcase, after carefully wrapping the nose hose in bubblewrap recycled from the printer and PC boxes, and found that despite putting most of my clothes, the CPAP machine, a power strip, and various sharp objects I didn't feel like surrendering to the TSA in it, the suitcase was only half full. Maybe I'll put a box ( Read more... )

Weight dropped like a rock this morning and BG did likewise; it probably would have dropped further had I not forgotten to take my meds yesterday evening. I am below 390 for the first time in a long while. Probably need to start wearing the size 56 pants soon, and maybe investing in a new belt besides ( Read more... )

So I slept in when I should have gotten up at 0300 to do Live at Five, which meant the garbage didn't go out either. One more thing to take care of Sunday night. Had coffee, knocked out an In The Mailbox post, and went up to Chantilly for chikuns*; after that, headed in on 66 to the VA, making use of the Google Maps navigator. This works well ( Read more... )

So much to do today. Laundry, a run to Walmart for ham, Kleenex and cash, post office, library...and there's probably something else I'm not remembering right now. Still, that's a full day right there, and it makes me glad I have the day off. At least I have the daily blogging and the garbage taken care of. Mark's right; taking out the garbage ( Read more... )

Swung by Red Robin tonight after work to take advantage of the burger BOGO, then went home to do tomorrow's Live at Five only to find the Internet's been rained out. Not much interested in lugging the laptop out in the rain to McDonald's, so I think I'll just go to bed and do it in the morning.

Not staying up for Game 4, either; the Nationals ( Read more... )

Much accomplished despite not waking up until 1400; got Rule 5 Sunday done on time for the first time in a couple of weeks, got Live at Five in the can for tomorrow, and gave linky love to people who linked Stacy's review, or at least the book. Speaking of the book, I need to do some revisions and replace links with quotes since apparently many of ( Read more... )

Well, like last year, I slept through stuckintraffik's wake-up call summoning me to the loadout; unlike last year, I wasn't dying, just very short on sleep. I feel fine this year, which is a nice change, and got a ton of egoboo from staff and fellow ex-chairmen, also the incoming chairman Jayson, who I think will do good and great things. Closing ceremonies were ( Read more... )

And this Friday was one of those. Sure, I got plenty of sleep after finishing Live At Five (and On The Razor's Edge) ; sure, I managed to catch breakfast and refill the Toaster en route to work, but then the rest of the day was just one pain in the ass after the other, a long string of 90, 120 and 180-minute appointments crammed into six hours by ( Read more... )
