Personal Digest Saturday: April 5 – April 11

Life news this week:

• Saturday someone knocking woke me up. It's those losers who keep coming back to proselytize and they left me an invitation to an Easter party. Went back to sleep. Got up and worked on my book pretty much all day. I'm not sure why writing a relatively small amount took so long, but it did. It's just like that sometimes. I also played DDR, sent a Polo to Steve, worked on my blog, and played around with some distractions.
  
  
• Sunday I woke up in the afternoon because sleep is still a funhouse mirror. I didn't use the day very well but I did get my chores done and I did manage to scan some photos. I recorded a really good version of "Bad Romance" on the karaoke site and I did a cleaning trick on my shower head. I KNOW THIS IS EXTREMELY EXCITING.
  
  
• Monday I had a meeting and three letters, so I was busy all day long. Also did some prep work for the upcoming interview. Chatted with Dad about our Passover plans and some philosophy about our band. After work I did DDR and researched a few recipes for Passover, sent my dad a shopping list, and wrote the recipes out on cards. Finally got some work done on my book but not much.
  
  
• Tuesday we had a meeting to practice our interview stuff. Had to do some teaming invitations too. I got my steps in watching Polos. I worked on my book and argued with internet losers who keep targeting a popular comment I made on an art page. So tired of people who think they made a point. Updated some website stuff.
  
  
• Wednesday I had early meetings. Had to work on interview stuff and send out reminders to people about stuff. Later I cleaned up some messes and did dishes, then did my DDR and got ready to go out. Jeaux picked me up and we tried a new restaurant called Esposito's. After grocery shopping, we took a walk and chilled how we typically do. Sent some short stories out after he left.
  
  
• Thursday we had an interview practice and I did some research. After work, wrote my webcomic, took a little nap after sending Meg a Polo, and went to game night with friends. Afterwards I did some walking, reading, and submitting queries.
  
  
• Friday I slept late but didn't miss my meetings. We had another interview prep meeting. Then I spent the rest of the afternoon doing my project reports and project research. After work I did DDR, finished my webcomic and posted it, and did some dishes. I made a Passover dessert and got it all done, and packed up my stuff to travel the next day. Also wrote my next comic because I'll be in cars a lot and need to be productive all the dang time I guess.

Words Written: 6,238.

Health Plan Update:

• Weight stuff: Not seeing the numbers I want but I'm not sure what direction I want to go to get what I do want. I recorded a high of 115.9 and a low of 114.5.
  
  
• Nutrition stuff: I had a LOT of pasta on Wednesday with Jeaux! That day I was way out of balance with what I try to keep to because of the high-fat sauce and low protein. But this week I had three servings of fruits and veggies and decent balance overall. Last seven days:
  
  

  	Days High	Days On-Target	Days Low
  Carbs	2	1	4
  Fats	1	2	4
  Protein	6	0	1

  
  
  I think the high carbs came from having yummy bread in the house. I'm really happy that I don't seem to have trouble meeting my protein goals most days. I am still regularly taking vitamins.
  
  
• Activity stuff: I'm continuing to play my dance game every other day. I met my walking goal every day this week. My low day was Tuesday at 10,034 steps, and my high day was Monday at 12,224 steps.
