- Saturday I had a lovely blackberry smoothie (which I did not take a picture of, sadly) and got everything done as I planned: got my walking in, got my blogging done, and got a review and blurb done for the asexuality book I was asked to endorse. Also talked to Jeaux on the phone during one of the walks. In the evening I sat down with Daria and we did our podcast recording for the episodes "Steven vs. Amethyst" and "Bismuth." It was a LONG recording. Surprise. (Not.)
- Sunday I had some procrastination problems. I did eventually get my laundry and trash chores done and I took some fun photos of my plushie that I commissioned so I could post them on the Internet. I worked on the Not-So-Giant Women podcast, played games, and listened to news.
- Monday I fiddled with utilities at work and edited a letter. After work I walked, played games, and napped. Talked to Lindsay on the phone and caught up. Played games with my friends online and tracked down some old photos for Meghan.
- Tuesday I got a late start with my work stuff. Chased some utilities around for several hours on several projects. Did more podcast editing and Polos. Chased a lizard out of the house when the pest control guy came. Practiced some music and ate too much.
- Wednesday was another late day. Organized some utility stuff. After, I did some Polos, organized collection stuff that needed updating, and filled out my mail-in ballot. Went grocery shopping with Jeaux. We got Burger Monger food, took walks, and watched Colbert, What We Do in the Shadows, and Sandman.
- Thursday involved some utility coordination and correspondence. I worked on my webcomic and podcast. Updated my blankets collection photo and argued with people on Reddit.
- Friday I had an early day with utility stuff and meetings and reports. I finished the webcomic, worked on the podcast, worked through submitted comments, and chatted with friends.
New Reviews:
- Jonathan Le gave The Invisible Orientation a four-star review on Goodreads.
- Philip Cosand gave The Invisible Orientation a three-star review on Goodreads.
- Leah gave The Invisible Orientation an unrated review on Goodreads.
- Weight stuff: I've been making some not-great choices and getting really snacky at night so I have really not been doing very well here. Hoping for better results next week. High weight: 119.5. Low weight: 117.6.
- Nutrition stuff: The good news is that I've had a spinach smoothie for breakfast almost every day this week, and included fruits and other vegetables in my diet here and there. The bad news is that I ate some high-sugar and high-fat things I really was not hungry for but I just ate them because they were there. Vitamins have been consistent!
- Activity stuff: I met my walking goal every day this week. My low day was Thursday at 10,071 steps, and my high day was Saturday at 10,361 steps.
