Personal Digest Saturday: July 22 – July 28

Life news this week:

  • Saturday I went to my mom's house to get some more clothes for a charity pickup, and spent a few hours over there picking up her electronics and some other odds and ends. Jeaux helped me out picking me up and bringing my stuff back to my house. Later I worked on my blog, organized my Mom stuff, sent a Polo to P, and fell asleep early.

  • Sunday I spent the day sorting and discarding items from the Mom horde. Did a lot of washing and organizing. Did some laundry and got very hot. Then finally I did some karaoke and drew a comic for posting later. I was exhausted for some reason.

  • Monday I got up early and greeted my family as they arrived from California! Yusuke, Ash, and sister Patricia came on in and the boys went to sleep while P and I had breakfast and coffee. I had to do some work at the office and then we picked up Mandola's food for our dinner. Then we played games with my friends online (the family liked the Jackbox games!) and then we just hung out until bedtime.

  • Tuesday I got up early for work and spent the day on meetings, teaming invites, and proposal outlines. My family members hung out at the house until afternoon and then went to MOSI. We decided to prepare Mom's clothes by soaking them in big tubs of water with baking soda and then later washing them with a vinegar rinse. It was a laborious process. We had tacos for dinner and took a walk, and then played Jackbox games again.

  • Wednesday I went to get a document notarized in the morning and bought some plants at Lowe's. My sister did some planting for me while I worked on data entry updates and had meetings. After, we went to Jeaux's pool and ate SoFresh food after enjoying the water. At home, we dealt with more Mom laundry and watched some Steven Universe episodes ("Doug Out" through "Lars' Head").

  • Thursday the fam hung around until afternoon (and Patricia made me a sandwich!). We finalized our mom's plaque for the Eternal Reefs memorial thing we're doing. Then they went out of town to go to St. Pete and stayed overnight. I was very busy at work and did data entry, pole data, reports, and timesheets. Also wrote my webcomic and read some of a liveblog. I put out the clothing donations from Mom's for the pickup in the morning.

  • Friday I was super busy between finishing my webcomic and proofreading letters at work plus doing reports. I also had a power outage in the morning which made some things difficult. The charity pickup happened without a hitch. When my family came back from St. Pete they brought SoFresh food again! Great place. So my sister and I took a walk and later we all sat around and watched Steven Universe again (from "Dewey Wins" to "Jungle Moon"). The mystery deepens. :) Everyone went to bed pretty early.

New Reviews:

Health Plan Update:

  • Weight stuff: Incomplete stats while my family is here again. But I've had some unusual highs here and there. Eh! High weight: 122.3 Low weight: 120.8.
  • Nutrition stuff: Lots of fruits and veggies and healthy food! Just . . . kind of a lot of it. I've done really well with the balance this week but it was an accident. Still consistently taking the vitamins.
