Personal Digest Saturday: January 9 – January 15

Life news this week:

  • Saturday I slept super late and it was nice. Unfortunately I felt really good for a while and then felt crappy so I had to take headache medicine. Did Polos with my sister, talked to Meggie on the phone, and got too tired to blog. I read a bunch of news and did some transcript work on Daria's video. Wrote some stuff on Tumblr too. I was distracted all day.

  • Sunday I did more sister Polos, recorded a karaoke song, and did my laundry and trash. Only got a little more of the transcript done. Taking forever. I modeled my new sweater! And wrote about some more ace stuff on Tumblr. Ate some pasta. I love mushrooms. Still doing too much reading the news.

  • Monday we found out we got on the shortlist for a project and the time until the interview is super short! We had to jump in to start preparing immediately, and I'm on the interview team again. I pulled together the last of the preparations I needed to send for a county proposal and left it in my boss's hands. Did some data stuff and helped out a new employee. After work I hung out on Discord with my friends but Meghan was busy with her mother-in-law so we didn't play games. Then my mom called and I talked to her and found out after that Meggie did make it in after all and I missed her. Aw!

  • Tuesday I got to sleep a little later. Worked on resumes for coworkers and ate oatmeal. Made more sister Polos. I ate some zucchini and also made some cranberry muffins. They aren't that good because the cranberries are so tart. But they're okay. Argued with a dork on a friend's Facebook page. My internet went out for a short while. I tried to record a song while I waited for it to come back but my computer wasn't behaving to record ukulele. Weird.

  • Wednesday I had another early meeting, and my work computer was offline but I could still attend the meeting while IT was fixing it. Very busy day--shortlist stuff, stuff for the City of Orlando, data entry, and a letter to be sent in (one of the long kind that takes forever to proofread). I also tested out a store-bought Steven Universe costume. Haha! After work Jeaux took me shopping and we made a vegetarian sausage pasta bake! Also watched Colbert and ranted about politics. We also took a nice cold walk. I ate too much pasta. Whoops.

  • Thursday I got a late start because my first appointment at work wasn't 'til 11. Did a bunch of resume stuff and uneventful meeting stuff. After work I did some comic stuff and went on walks. Talked to Victor for over three hours until I wanted to go snuggle in my bed with hot chocolate.

  • Friday I got up early for interview practice! Went fine. Very busy day again with reports, timesheets, and our proposal package. After work I did comics, talked to Jeaux briefly, and ate too much candy.
Interviews, Articles, Mentions:

New reviews of my book:

Food Plan Update:

  • No significant changes this week--have continued to stay under my weight goal (despite one very heavy eating day where I had multiple helpings of a delicious pasta bake, plus candy during the week!).
  • Still having days where I'm not prioritizing walking and haven't made my step goal. I need to really push myself to take more frequent breaks for walks.
  • I would like to focus more on getting more balanced nutrition--I am lacking in Vitamins A and C pretty often, and need to do better with calcium. Going to try smoothies.
