Life news this week:
- Saturday I reviewed my voice over recordings and tweaked a couple of them before turning them in to the producers. It's all wrapped up and now I just wait for any additional pickups or for the first episode to come out! Neat. Then I did an exercise video, did some music practice and some reading, and updated some stuff. Wrote another chapter on my novel, wrote my webcomic script ahead of time, and got a bag packed for a busy day the next day.
- Sunday was busy and I got up early! Dad picked me up for band practice. I updated him on All The Happenings during the car ride. We had a good practice even though our keyboard player was sick and couldn't make it. After practice (and pizza!) I got picked up by Ben who took me to a party at his house. I got to meet his daughter and eat his cooking for the first time. We had some yummy rice and mushrooms and I helped by frying tofu. And then he took me home. I threw in laundry and took out the trash and took a badly needed nap. Got up and sent a Polo to Meg while getting my steps in. Finally went to bed for real after that.
- Monday I handled timesheets at work and then took a quick nap during a break! I was very tired for some reason. Then when I got back in I did some editing on a letter and submitted it, and updated our resumes for the new year. Later I played DDR and wrote more of my novel.
- Tuesday I did some data entry for our timesheets and invited team members to our next effort. And we found out we won a big contract, finally! (It's the one that I had to go to the interview for in December. Exciting! Finally our hard work paid off!) I worked on writing after that and finished writing another chapter on my novel, caught up on news, talked to Tony outside, and got my steps in listening to a Polo from Steve and sending a Polo to Meg. Also finally put away folded laundry and did dishes.
- Wednesday I did some project research at work, drew some comics, and did an exercise video. Wrote some e-mails. Jeaux came over and took me to Vallarta's for my birthday meal. Then we grocery shopped and went back to my place where he gave me a cake he had baked--a homemade Oreo cake! He did a great job and it was yummy too. And he gave me a blender for my birthday. Cool.
- Thursday I had a bunch of follow-up work to do at work. I had cake for lunch and drew the rest of my webcomic so I wouldn't have to deal with it Friday. Updated my journal, went to Game Night, and posted my webcomic after the clock rolled past midnight.
- Friday was MY BIRTHDAY! HAPPY 47TH BIRTHDAY TO ME! I got up early and played DDR in the morning after coffee! Got dressed for the day and did some reports at work. Meg rolled in to visit me in the afternoon and we chilled together, then went out to eat at Carrabba's with my dad and Connie for my birthday. When we got back I finished my reports for the office, took an unsatisfying nap, and hung out with Meghan for the rest of the evening. We had cake together (the one Jeaux baked). We did nothing special besides chatting, but that's all I need.
Words Written: 7,408.
Health Plan Update:
- Weight stuff: Nope, I'm seeing weird highs again! Seems weird. Though there has been some cake and birthday celebrations in my life so I guess I should expect it. I dunno. I recorded a high of 117.9 and a low of 115.2.
- Nutrition stuff: I had good nutrition this week (fruits and veggies every day!) but there were a couple low protein days and a couple higher fat days when I had cake. But what am I gonna do, NOT have cake on my birthday? LOL. I am still regularly taking vitamins.
- Activity stuff: I'm continuing to play my dance game twice a week and doing an exercise video with weights twice a week (so far). And I met my walking goal every day this week. My low day was Tuesday at 10,040 steps, and my high day was Sunday at 11,690 steps.
