Personal Digest Saturday (but posted on Sunday!): August 23 – August 29

Life news this week:

• Saturday I slept in for once. Then I talked to my friend Sarah on the phone, catching up for a few hours. Then I did my blogging and did an aerobics video, and watched some silly reactions to music. Did some short story submissions and started working on editing my book but got too tired and went to bed.
  
  
• Sunday I started my laundry and trash tasks earlier in the day and watched some more reaction videos. Also finished the edit I didn't finish the previous day. Also recorded some new voice-over auditions and made a Polo for Meg and for my friend Ben. Recorded some silly stuff with the kids on Discord.
  
  
• Monday was busy with two meetings (a marketing meeting and a kick-off meeting), a letter to edit, and two sets of teaming invitations to send out. Then I gave some requested feedback on some of the in-progress recordings for a voice-over project I'm in. I played DDR late in the day and then worked on a short chapter of my book.
  
  
• Tuesday was much slower at work--just one meeting and some project research. I reorganized my closets and pulled out some clothes for donation. Did some Polos, put away my laundry, and organized my accessories cabinet (which involved crap lying around in the floor for hours). I'm very satisfied with the outcome. Then I worked on my book and did dishes.
  
  
• Wednesday I had to get up for a design meeting where everyone was talking about banana costumes. (???) Later I cleaned up my house, played DDR, and finished a chapter edit and goofed around with Discord weenies. Jeaux was a little late because he got detoured around an accident. We ate at 4 Rivers but their fryer was broken so I couldn't get my favorite fried okra. :( We did our grocery shopping and hung out at my house as always. I didn't get anything done after he left.
  
  
• Thursday I sent reminders to people that they owed me paperwork and entered some data. Chatted on Discord with weirdos. Wrote my storyboard for Negative One. Recorded a Polo. Went to game night with my friends! And then did more Polos. And enjoyed some more music reactions.
  
  
• Friday I worked on my usual weekly reports. Took a break to watch a short watch party for the new Rebecca Sugar album Lonely Magic. Very special music! I love it. After work I drew comics, listened to reactions, and did a bunch of DDR to get my steps. Then I submitted a query and watched people speculating online as to whether the president might be dead. Lordy.

Health Plan Update:

• Weight stuff: I only got on the scale twice so I guess by default the high number (116.6) was the high and the low number (115.9) was the low.
  
  
• Nutrition stuff: I got my three servings of veggies and fruits every day, but as for the nutrient balance, I was a lot more in the neighborhood this week than last week with my protein goals, and the days I went over on fat percentage were only a couple even though I kinda worried that I was doing kind of a lot of junky food (like having chips and an ice cream sandwich on the same day). I am still regularly taking vitamins.
  
  
• Activity stuff: I'm continuing to do aerobics or play my dance game every other day. I made my 10,000-step walking goal every day this week. My low day was Friday at 10,006 steps, and my high day was Wednesday at 12,793 steps.
