Life news this week:
- Saturday I got a nice late sleep. Awesome. Did some blogging and watched Jennifer Paz's livestream where she signed Steven Universe posters, and then later I watched the same thing for Erica Luttrell. (They play Lapis Lazuli and Sapphire on Steven Universe.) After I wrote up their Q&A responses for my fan blog, I finished my personal blog stuff. I had a lot of walking to do after that so I walked to a lecture, while reading, and while practicing music. I read some old comics and submitted queries. And talked to Jeaux on the phone briefly.
- Sunday I got up early to go out with Jeaux. We saw Wicked in the theater! Then had lunch at Noble Crust and went grocery shopping. We hung out getting our walking done and talking about politics and religion. After he left I got my chores done, updated some lists, recorded a karaoke song, did some applications, and added some new music to my lists.
- Monday at work was pretty uneventful so I just did maintenance on reminders and updated lists. Did some reading. Listened to some Polos and read the new issues of Multiversus comics (it's based on a video game with a bunch of characters from different properties and it has two Steven Universe characters in it, so I wanted to check it out). I found a lot of ways they messed up writing the SU characters. Ugh. They should have had a consultant. :)
- Tuesday I edited a letter for the office and did my usual background updating. I managed to get an entire physical photo album processed for my photo project. I did a Polo and made a chocolate silk pie. Did some reading, took a walk, and had a tiny nice nap.
- Wednesday there was some coordination to do at the office. Then I spent the day posting some eBay listings for Meghan, who had given me some of her husband's old watches to sell. In the evening I made the whipped cream for the chocolate silk pie and decorated it, and then I made a lentil casserole (a real adventure!) and finally my dinner rolls. Cleaned up the kitchen, got tired, and went to sleep early.
- Thursday I got up and lollygagged around in the morning until it was time for Jeaux to pick me up for Thanksgiving. He took me out to my dad's house in Sarasota, where we met with family and friends and had a lovely dinner that was ordered in from Michael's (mostly). We had some lovely conversation and some good food. Jeaux and I took a walk after dinner and then we came back for dessert, which was also excellent. We left before it got too late, got more walking done when we got to my place, and watched an episode of our silly show. I crashed soon after.
- Friday I didn't have to go to work but unfortunately I didn't do much with the free time. I mostly just spent it eating leftovers, packing up eBay packages that sold, and reading old stuff. I also made a Polo for Steve but it's malfunctioning again. I guess I'm allowed to have a non-productive day sometimes. I just don't feel that good about it.
Health Plan Update:
- Weight stuff: I swear this is true: I weighed myself Thanksgiving morning before food and the next day after lots of food, and it was exactly the same. Does that make sense? It does not. I recorded a high of 113.9 and a low of 113.1.
- Nutrition stuff: There was a lot of dessert on the last couple days of the week because of Thanksgiving! So that threw the carb balance all out of whack and the protein very low. I don't worry about stuff like that--I make recordings to track habits, not exceptions, and I firmly believe there are lots of occasions to drop the norms! During the rest of the week I was having some trouble getting all my servings of fruit for some reason, but the protein/carb/fat balance was decent. I am still regularly taking vitamins.
- Activity stuff: I met my walking goal every day this week, but cut it extremely close a couple days. My low day was Friday at 10,075 steps, and my high day was Wednesday at 11,902 steps.
