Champaign has gone from highs in the 60s a week ago to highs in the 20s. Anyone who’s been here knows that it’s not the temperature, however. It’s that freaking wind. 🙁 I’ve been playing quite a bit of Space Empires 5 since last Wednesday, much to Mike’s dismay. It gives me an opportunity to…
I stayed home sick from work. It wasn’t so bad that medicine couldn’t have made work tolerable, but I just don’t want to get anyone else sick right now. There are so few of us in my office and we’re nearing the end of the semester…the second worst time to have people be out sick….
I should go to bed now, but I thought I’d sit down and type a bit first. Last week was…meh. It was a short week, so only 3 days at work. Josh was on vacation, so I had the door closed. I didn’t accomplish all I wanted to accomplish and planned to do some things…
my forbearance hasn’t gone through for my student loans. So that’s $367 that I didn’t want to spend right now…and couldn’t afford to spend right now. The next week is going to be tight, especially having to buy gas both ways. But I should get a child support payment next week and I’ve got a…
as a regular checkup for my hypertension. When I arrived for my 8:45 appointment, I was told that the doctor was running about an hour behind. Unpleased by this, I asked if I could reschedule. The person at the front desk said that I’d be better off waiting and that they’d probably catch up quickly…
Diet is going well. I weighed in at about 249 on Monday, 241 today. A lot of that is liquid, rather than actual weight loss, but my morning weight check is consistently down so far.
so disappointing. Maybe next time… *sigh* 🙁
a lifetime to go. I ate about 1000 calories today…kind of kick starting my metabolism by undercutting my calorie goal for the first few days. I’ve been wanting to go grab a snack all evening, but I’ve been good and keep reminding myself that I’m doing this for me…and in six months (probably), I can…
So, I haven’t actually been dieting yet. I’ve been tracking my weight while I read through the entirity of The Hacker’s Diet. I’ll be finished with the reading in the next 24 hours and have set the date to start really dieting as Monday, November 13…mainly out of the convenience of starting a new lifestyle…
Today is my first day at work since last Wednesday…it was so hard coming in from the parking lot. Last Thursday was CCSP’s Fall Conference, an all-day event for campus IT professionals. Around 3:00, I got a call from daycare telling me that Daniel had a fever of 101. As a result, I couldn’t take…
