Personal Digest Saturday: September 27 – October 3

Life news this week:

• Saturday was a bit slow while still involving me getting a lot done. I saw a giant bounce house rented next door at my neighbors' house so I knew they were planning a party and would likely be screaming and blasting music all day once the party started, so I got voice acting work done early. I practiced music, accepted a short story offer, submitted a short story, worked on my blog, got all my steps, and practiced more music. My ear was still being wack but not as bad.
  
  
• Sunday Dad came to pick me up for band practice. Had to take my coffee with me! We had our first band practice with a new group. We have to practice in his small music room. We had a good first practice, stopped for a snack, and then couldn't do a round 2 because we had an equipment failure. Sad! We ended practice and Dad drove me home. We stopped at a Mexican restaurant called Lolis where I had a great Beyond Taco and we had a nice leisurely lunch. Then at my house my dad fixed my washing machine!! I can now use cold water in it again. After he left I did laundry, took out the trash, did some aerobics, and relaxed playing computer games while listening to music. My ear was not bothering me.
  
  
• Monday work was slow and my ear got annoying again. Did some project tracking and outlined a proposal. Took a couple weird naps, sent a Polo to Meg, worked on my latest video and posted it, and worked on my So You Write comic. Did some reading, got some stuff done on my photo gallery finishing it through 2011, and edited my book.
  
  
• Tuesday I did some project research at work. Recorded my lines for the latest Sleepy Hollow episode. Did a voice-over audition and got shortlisted. My ear was annoying in the morning but then stopped bothering me later in the day. My boss told me late in the day that we were going to finish a proposal I thought we weren't going to have time for, so I set him up for the work he needed to finish and agreed to help pull it together the next day. I did some DDR, sent Meghan a Polo, edited my book, and posted my comic.
  
  
• Wednesday I helped with the proposal and we turned it in. Listened to Meg's Polo. Opened some new cool pins I ordered, but I only got 2 of the 4 I wanted. Talked to Tony when he came to do my yard. Jeaux came and we ate at Burger 21, grocery shopped, took a walk, and watched some silly stuff. Then we watched half of EPIC: The Musical. After Jeaux left I updated my goals on my blog posts.
  
  
• Thursday I had to work on utility coordination at the office. Then I did some aerobics. I wrote my comic storyboard, did some singing, and met my friends for Game Night. We had a fun time and I drew a little. Then I listened to a Polo from Ben, sent in a query, and relaxed.
  
  
• Friday I did some timesheet work, then walked some packages to the Post Office, and finished my reports when I came back. Then I worked on my comic and posted it, messed around with dorks on Discord, submitted a short story, and chatted with Ben on Polo. Did some singing too.

Health Plan Update:

• Weight stuff: I have no data this week. :)
  
  
• Nutrition stuff: 5 out of 7 days were low protein--worse than last week. (Most of those were just close, but still. I can do better.) I would say I made a lot of choices that I'm not super happy with this week, though I did still manage to get my fruits and veggies most days. Still taking the 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 Sunday at 10,021 steps, and my high day was Saturday at 15,030 steps.
