Personal Digest Saturday: June 3 – June 9

Life news this week:

• Saturday I went to Sarasota with Jeaux and met up with my dad, Connie, and their friend Jimmy to see Man of La Mancha. Great performance and it was neat to compare it to what I remembered from other versions I've seen. We ate at Spice Station afterwards (I had tofu pad thai). Jeaux and I went back to Tampa and I took a nap, and then got up just in time to do my walking and my blogging, then spent some time on Reddit.
  
  
• Sunday, as usual, involved trash and laundry chores. Did some Polos and spent most of the day on processing the next video for Not-So-Giant Women. Did my karaoke too and took a lot of naps.
  
  
• Monday I went back to work. Just dealt with timesheets and a letter to edit. Also did an outline for a project. Had an argument on Reddit with an extremely disingenuous person I ended up blocking. Practiced ukulele and played games with friends. Did some walking and reading.
  
  
• Tuesday I had to throw together teaming requests and info research. Practiced uke after work and then went to the Trans Town Hall at the MCC. Jeaux met me there and we got to watch an excellent explanation of laws that affect trans people in Florida and what action is being taken. They also had some yummy treats for us. Afterwards, Jeaux and I talked about the event while getting Five Guys food. We took a walk and after he left I went to bed early.
  
  
• Wednesday I had to work on teaming arrangements, a proposal, and some data entry. After work Jeaux and I shopped, got Moe's food, and watched a little bit of The Dragon Prince. We took a walk and after he left I answered some e-mail.
  
  
• Thursday was mostly organizing and teaming stuff. Did some ukulele practice and wrote Negative One and worked on it a bit. Worked on my photos page. Followed the indictment news.
  
  
• Friday just involved follow-ups to teaming partners, wrapping up a proposal submission, and reports. Got my comic done early and did some walking and Polo-ing. Practiced ukulele and consumed news.

New Reviews:

• Seolhe gave The Invisible Orientation an unrated review on Goodreads, unrated because they did not want to finish it due to being too much of an introductory book.
  
• Capercaillie gave The Invisible Orientation a three-star review on Goodreads.

Health Plan Update:

• Weight stuff: I had quite a few surprise meals and other strange occurrences with food, but I was still surprised by how high my high was! We'll see what happens. I still intend to work on seeing this number go down a bit. High weight: 123.1 Low weight: 121.5.
  
• Nutrition stuff: I had a not-too-bad nutrition week but except for the restaurant meals, I had a lot of the same stuff over and over. We all have weeks like this. Still consistently taking the vitamins.
  
• Activity stuff: I met my walking goal every day this week. My low day was Saturday at 10,024 steps, and my high day was Wednesday at 11,387 steps.

Not-So-Giant Women Episode 60 is out.
