Personal Digest Saturday: October 7 – October 13

Life news this week:

• Saturday I did some housecleaning and vacuuming before hopping on to talk to a podcast host. Then after an hour of that, I worked on my blog, texted with Ben, and played DDR. Also got annoyed at an art thief (not of my art). Finished processing my Not-So-Giant Women episode.
  
  
• Sunday I had a leisurely morning during which I also did some mildly responsible stuff like paying bills and doing dishes. Sarah and David came over and we ate at Saki, and then hung out at my house for a while before they had to go home. Then I did my karaoke and my laundry and my trash. I took some photos of updated collections and watched a video I didn't like.
  
  
• Monday I had three letters to get out again, and helped with some accounting stuff and teaming arrangements. Made some appointments, took a nap, put away laundry, and worked a little bit on a story.
  
  
• Tuesday involved organizing, reports, and researching at work, along with four meetings. After work I mostly wasted time and played DDR.
  
  
• Wednesday I did more teaming organizing, utility coordination, and reports. Talked to Tony outside when he came to do my lawn. Jeaux took me to Black Rock and then grocery shopping, where I spent a lot of money because I was buying stuff for my Halloween party. We got rained on during our walk. And we watched Colbert.
  
  
• Thursday was more meetings, utility coordination, research, and administrative tasks. Argued with some people on the internet and met my friends for game night. Played DDR and texted with Ben.
  
  
• Friday was meetings, reports, and research. Then I got my webcomic done and worked on the labels and ingredient lists for my Halloween party. Made a good to-do list.

Interviews, Articles, Mentions:

• The Silencing of Asexuals: The podcast Flow had me on as a guest. This recording has me and host Sheila Das chatting about conversations surrounding asexuality for about an hour.

Health Plan Update:

• Weight stuff: I'm doing a lot of exercise and eating less but nothing has changed. Hmmm. High weight: 123.1. Low weight: 121.7.
  
• Nutrition stuff: Very good balance this week, but I have been very lax on eating veggies! Having a lot of fruit and yogurt though. Still consistently taking the vitamins.
  
• Activity stuff: I met my walking goal every day this week. My low day was Wednesday at 10,025 steps, and my high day was Saturday at 11,920 steps.
