Syd arrived at 8:40 instead of 9:00. Thank goodness I’d gotten out of bed at 8:15 instead of snoozing until 8:30. He fixed my downstairs toilet, my upstairs toilet, “snaked” the drain in my master bathroom sink, and fixed the poor flow of cold water in my kitchen sink. It’s nice to have all of … Read more
I was up at 8:30 today, and immediately started on my genre analysis paper. I had some cantaloupe (another ripe one) and a slice of toast for breakfast. I didn’t have NutriSystem cereal, as I had a bowl of it last night before bed. So sue me. I got my paper to a decent breaking … Read more
I got up when my clock showed 10:13, which I just love, as that’s my birth date, 10/13. I had a hard boiled egg, and a slice of toast for breakfast. I did not eat a NutriSystem food entree. Not quite sure why. Wasn’t hungry for one, though. Before leaving for my walk around the … Read more
I made some good progress on my genre analysis paper today. In anticipation of “Book Club Night Out,” I worked out for an hour today, and burned off 800 calories. I did the first 30 minutes downstairs in front of the “Fountain of Hotness” on the elliptical crosstrainer, and the second 30 minutes upstairs on … Read more
I got to Baby Moon Cafe at 11:30 for my lunch date with Adrienne. By 11:50, she hadn’t showed up, and I debated as to whether I should just get up and leave (and therefor eat Nutrifood back at the office) or go ahead and eat there since I’d been taking up a table for … Read more
I had a good meeting with Cassandra today on Effectiveness Analysis. We got some things nailed down, and I identified next steps. We’re going to meet again tomorrow to go through the QMX stuff. I was alerted to this program going on in Canada to narrow down (from 5) the top book Canadians should read. … Read more
I had a good meeting with Cassandra and Jean today demo-ing the QMX databases. Randy was home with a sick child, so couldn’t attend, which was fine with me, as she’d probably ask a gazillion questions, half of which I wouldn’t have been able to understand. We had book club lunch, which was fun. Everyone … Read more
I postponed my QMX demo from 11:00 this morning until 2:00 tomorrow afternoon. My 1:00 meeting went well. Phil B. attended, which surprised me. I like Helen’s contributions. I burned copies of my Miss Saigon Soundtrack. They play in my computer CD player, but not in my car. I’m wondering if I burned them in … Read more
I worked a lot on my genre analysis paper today, but did not get a lot of the actual writing of it done. I researched, sent a note to Dr. Swarts for a clarification on Swales (big surprise I needed that), and read some of the articles that I will probably cite in the paper. … Read more
I had a good night’s sleep, and got up at about 8AM — unusual for me on a Saturday. I had the Nutri-Coconut-Os (something like that) cereal for breakfast, which, unfortunately I could not taste. I hope the milk wasn’t sour. Later in the morning, I had a hard-boiled egg, and a slice of toast. … Read more
