Okay back on January 12th, I graphed my water usage over a period of two years, with the final point on the graph showing an average use of water for me at 58 gallons per day for that billing cycle. Since then, I have really cut back on flushing my toilets (every third or fourth … Read more
I edited from home today. I’m in the midst of a 213-page book. Also, I participated in the first 5 minutes of the ITIM IDD Team Meeting, of which I’m the first thing on the agenda, and then bow out. Today’s entry might be awl about the food, which my days often are, though I … Read more
I edited from home today. Three short, banned IKEA commercials. (A minute-and-a-half total, and safe for work.) This from Manbites Dog’s distribution list, and as I said yesterday: Hello everyone! Haven’t seen DYING CITY yet? Here’s a description of what you’re missing: “Superb”… compelling… live theater at its best” – Orla Swift, News and Observer … Read more
Robert ran to Wendy’s this morning, where he purchased the aforementioned calorie collection for us for breakfast. I have to say that my initial reaction was that it was good, but not that good, which I guess, is probably tainted by my knowledge of its nutritional makeup. Oh well, it didn’t stop me from eating … Read more
Today is my mother’s 76th birthday. I registered us (not my mother and me, but Robert and me) for Queen City Stomp 2008 today. I spent a few hours of my day editing today. I spent no time at the gym today. No more crying over onions In an exciting breakthrough for cooks everywhere, genetic … Read more
I met Kevin (av8rdude) to work out at 10:00 this morning, with the intention of stopping by Wendy’s afterwards to try this: This is the “regular” one. The reason I wanted to try it is that they have a special version right now, where the biscuit is cinnamon and raisin and the sausage is maple-flavored. … Read more
Kevin (av8rdude) and I decided to work out at 9:00 this morning, and 10:00 tomorrow morning, based on his conference calls schedule for each day. I am not a morning person, so I guess it’s no surprise that the negative-speak started on the ride to the gym today: I’m tired. Still half asleep. Maybe I’ll … Read more
I got up at 9:00 this morning, and did the usual drill for breakfast. Nice milestone on the scale today; I’ve lost close enough to 10 pounds to celebrate it. I’ve exercised for 29 out of the last 30 days—with 5 of those days at 30 minutes, most of the rest at 60, and just … Read more
After 10 hours of sleep, I got up at 6:00. Sweet! Breakfast consisted of a hard-boiled egg, two turkey sausage patties, and coffee. I do miss not having some kind of bread (namely toast, an English muffin, or a bagel) for breakfast, but surprisingly, not as much as I thought I would, since I’d pretty … Read more
I worked from home today. For lunch, I decided to get daring with my one leftover grilled fish fillet from yesterday’s lunch and made a fish taco with it. It was surprisingly better than I’d anticipated it would be. Yay! Ric Weiland, left, and Bill Gates at the Microsoft table during the 1976 National Computer … Read more
