Life news this week:
- Saturday I got up early and had breakfast, and then Jeaux picked me up and took me to see the second half of Wicked. We enjoyed the movie! Then we had lunch at Moe's and did our grocery shopping for Thanksgiving ingredients. When I got home I wanted a nap but the neighbors were too loud partying so I had to use earphones to listen to white noise to drown them out. (I'm pretty bitter about having to put anything in my ears now that my ear issue has let up, because I had to do that involuntarily for like two months to be able to sleep, so I am extra irritated at my neighbors.) When I got up I did my blogging, sent Steve a Polo, and went back to sleep early (again with earphones because my neighbors continued their loud partying until after 1 in the morning). The first episode of a show I did voice over in came out--it's a half hour long and I play two major roles in the show!
- Sunday my neighbors started being jerks with the noise pretty early in the day and literally did not stop all day until after I went to bed. They are very selfish. I spent the day editing my book and actually completed the second edit; I'm pretty proud of getting it down to 140,000 words, but there's still a ways to go. I updated some blogs, finished the 2003 photo log, and read a chunk of my friend Dare's book. Also did a bunch of laundry and did aerobics and put some stuff up on eBay.
- Monday I had to enter some accounting stuff at work. I texted with my friend Ronni for a big chunk of the day and took a walk to the post office to drop off a toy that sold on eBay (from Meggie's stuff). I looked for voice-over auditions to do but didn't find any projects I wanted to audition for. Didn't get much done on my projects because I was sleepy.
- Tuesday I did more accounting data entry, sent reminders to people who needed them, and did data entry for my roadway inventory. Did some DDR, sent a Polo to Meggie, did some dishes, and finished reading Dare's book. Worked on my 2002 photo log. Did some work on my edit plan for my book. Updated my voice-over page.
- Wednesday is usually Jeaux Day but since he would be coming over for Thanksgiving we decided not to meet. I went to work and did some prep work on an upcoming shortlisted project. Also did some research on a project and did the reports I usually do on Fridays. Sent a Polo to Ben and made a corn casserole for Thanksgiving. Jeaux called to tell me he somehow got his car towed from his own parking lot for a silly reason. I'm really glad he didn't realize it the next morning because that would have messed up our day! I did some agent research and wrote my storyboard for my comic.
- Thursday I got up early and had plenty of time to do DDR and get ready for going to my dad's. I sent out a query letter in the morning. Jeaux picked me up and we went to Sarasota, where we ate a lovely meal with Dad and Connie. Jeaux had brought green bean casserole and a pumpkin roll. Later we had dessert but we were stuffed. We had a fun time chatting and catching up and being silly. Then when we got back to my place we took a walk and shared silly things on the internet and finally watched a couple episodes of the anime Secrets of the Silent Witch.
- Friday I got up and ate leftovers. Worked on my comic slowly in between doing other entertaining things. The water pump person came and replaced the motor on my chlorine tank. I also sold two posters on eBay (two different people, from listings that were over a month old) so I had to figure out how to package them. I then took them to the post office with another package that sold the day before. Then I worked on the comic more, finished and posted it, did some reading and walking, texted with Meggie, and sang along with some karaoke songs.
- The first episode of a show I'm in was released on Saturday! Check out this page for listening options.
Health Plan Update:
- Weight stuff: I only got on the scale a couple times this week so I have incomplete data. High number was 118.2 pounds and low number was 117.8.
- Nutrition stuff: Still having trouble hitting protein goals (though Thanksgiving and leftovers got in the way obviously)--I missed my goal pretty significantly 4 days out of 7. I think I missed one day of getting all my fruits and veggies too, but every other day I did make the goal. And I'm still taking my vitamins!
- Activity stuff: I'm continuing to do aerobics or DDR every other day. I made my 10,000-step walking goal every day this week. My low day was Tuesday at 10,079 steps, and my high day was Monday at 13,854 steps.
