Life news this week:
- Saturday I spent the day working on my book mostly. Eventually I got around to blogging, walking, reading, and sorting my high school planner stuff. Sent a video message to Meggie, ordered a CD, read through some feedback, and worked on the book some more.
- Sunday I worked on my book, played DDR, started laundry (did three loads!), and spent most of my day on my memory box organization. A tree fell in my back yard. The wind was nuts. I also got some really pretty flowers on a plant that I've had for EIGHT YEARS AT LEAST and it never had flowers. Wow! Weird. I took out my trash and worked on my book some more and did a Polo for my sister.
- Monday we didn't have letters to send because a lot of government places are closed. I did a bunch of research for upcoming projects instead. Listened to some draft versions of a show I did voice acting in which is getting pretty close to being released. Digested more feedback from test readers. Worked on my book more, sorted memory box stuff, and sent a Polo to Ben.
- Tuesday I went to an early meeting and processed two letters. Randomly thought of a new idea for a short story and wrote the first half. Gave some feedback to the director of the science fiction show that I had listened to drafts for on Monday. Did some DDR, put away laundry, incorporated more book feedback, and read some old notes from high school days from the memory boxes.
- Wednesday I sent out teaming invitations for our upcoming work. Tidied up the house, did some reading, sent Polos, created a response to some book feedback, submitted a query, talked to Tony outside, and sorted through memory box stuff. Jeaux was early because he had the day off for school. We ate at a new place, Plaza Tapatia, and encountered a really weird situation where their vegetarian burrito was listed as containing "beans, cheese, spinach, mushroom" but they told me I had to pick one of those things. Are you telling me if I order a spinach burrito it will just be a tortilla filled with spinach and NO beans or cheese? THE SERVER SAID YES, THAT IS WHAT IT IS. And gave me the same choice for the enchilada, saying I could only either have beans or cheese. (????) I'm thinking they're confused. We didn't really like the food though. Afterwards we went shopping and did our usual exchange of silly content. After he left I scanned some artifacts from my memory box.
- Thursday I worked on timesheet data entry at work. After work I wrote my comic, avoided eating moldy bread, played DDR, worked on my book, read letters from high school, and submitted a short story. The tree people came and dealt with my fallen tree. Played the usual Game Night stuff with friends. Drew some of the comic. Got a new test reader who gave me near-immediate feedback. Cool! Took a weird nap. Recorded my pickups for the science fiction show.
- Friday the pest control guy woke me up (good thing). Worked on my reports at the office. Did some drawing, talked to Jeremy on Facebook, and discussed more of the book with the new test reader. Finished drawing my comic pretty early and posted it. Did some updates with the SU figures that finally came from Mexico! Met with Kari and took a walk. Did some karaoke. Read some of a book. Tried to buy more stuff I'm missing. Prepared eBay sales for shipment.

Health Plan Update:
- Nutrition stuff: I got my three servings of fruits and veggies every day this week (so far I have not missed that a single day this YEAR), and met my protein goals every day except restaurant day (I guess I had a lot of salsa and chips). I am still taking Vitamin D, Red Yeast Rice, CoQ10 Enzyme, Biotin, and a multivitamin.
- Activity stuff: I'm continuing to do DDR or aerobics every other day. I made my 10,000-step walking goal every day this week. Based on my phone's app, my low day was Tuesday at 10,156 steps, and my high day was Sunday at 14,414 steps.
