Personal Digest Saturday - March 8 – March 13

Life news this week:

• Saturday I worked on my In Bloom edits all day off and on. I did take a break to play DDR and walk while listening to one of the audio dramas I'm in, and I did my blogging (which required getting up to date with book reviews). Finally sent my book to Jeaux to read.
  
  
• Sunday, the time change made it seem like I slept even later than I did. but it was cool. I did my chores, including laundry and trash, and did some reading. Messaged my sister to say happy birthday and got annoyed that my package for her hadn't arrived yet. Kari came over and we watched some of Epic: The Musical amidst technical difficulties. After she left I processed all the doodads from another memory box, got my walking done, and put away my laundry. Caught up on voice-acting auditions.
  
  
• Monday at work we wrangled elements of our upcoming interview for a shortlisted project. I had to work on a transcript all day and was literally there until 9 PM. Then I played DDR, organized mementos, made a Polo for Steve, and worked on my new short story.
  
  
• Tuesday I bothered utility owners and worked on another transcript, this time until 8:30 at night. Bummer. Did some reading. Organized mementos associated with Mom. Listened to a Polo from my sister. Worked on the short story more. Spent too much time saying shit in comments sections. Did some voice-over auditions again.
  
  
• Wednesday I was involved in more interview prep at work. Got assigned another transcript! Argh! After work I did my dishes, played DDR, washed some blankets, and sent out a query letter. Got some interest in one of my auditions, but nothing formal yet. Jeaux came early from his chemistry lab and we ate at Noble Crust. I went shoe shopping to get some shoes I can wear indoors on the advice of the podiatrist. We did our usual grocery shopping and showing each other crap on the internet. After he left I did a book review and paid bills.
  
  
• Thursday I worked on the next transcript all day. Wrote my comic. Went to Game Night with friends. Got walking in while reading. Almost messed up my scheduled rideshare but I caught the mistake in time!
  
  
• Friday I went to get bloodwork early in the morning before work. Then I spent the day on my reports at work and wrote some summaries for my part in the interview. After work I drew the webcomic, did aerobics, took a nap, and listened to the latest episode of another audio drama I'm in. Bloodwork results came in and everything was normal this time. Who knows.

Health Plan Update:

• Nutrition stuff: I got my three servings of fruits and veggies every day this week, and met my protein goals six out of seven days (as usual, my eating-out day with Jeaux was the miss). I am still taking Vitamin D, Red Yeast Rice, CoQ10 Enzyme, Biotin, and a multivitamin.
  
  
• Activity stuff: I'm continuing to do DDR or aerobics every other day. I made my 10,000-step walking goal every day this week. Based on my phone's app, my low day was Monday at 10,121 steps, and my high day was Friday at 10,796 steps.
