Tomorrow afternoon I get to EAT AGAIN!! And it will have been five days, ladies and gentlemen.
I just realized, it’s that time of year again… New Year’s Resolutions! What, oh what shall I mightily resolve this year??
I feel disgustingly fat this morning.
I shouldn’t: I weigh 120 lbs as of this morning and am as empty as they come, but even so I feel rampagesouly squat and flabbdified.
Why does Thumbs.db exist and why does it keep tormenting me?
So, anyway, I have this week off from work. I have taken the opportunity of being at home to go on a fast.
I have never fasted before, so this is a grand experiment — I thought perhaps it might help me with my mysterious nausea attacks. In any case, it can’t hurt. [Although given I haven't been nauseated for even 3 minutes since leaving work I feel awfully suspicious]
So today is Day 3 of my fast. Day 1 was annoying because I was hungry, though I wasn’t jonesing for food as much as I thought I would be. Day 2 I woke up feeling rather horrible — woozy, dizzy, queasy, with pounding heart and wobbling legs, but that cleared up by afternoon and then I felt fine. And today I feel fine too. I’ve been drinking lots of fresh vegetable and fruit juice (having lots of fun with the juicer Zaubi and I bought a few months ago).
This fast has been surprisingly easier than I thought it would be. I feel a little weak but I only notice it when walking up stairs or trying to do pullups. I haven’t done any Tae Bo since Saturday but then you aren’t supposed to do strenuous excercise when fasting…
There is a foot and a half of snow outside! It’s fun! It comes up past the dogs’ shoulders, especially Kettricken’s. They only way they can get through it is to hop straight up and down with great energy.
Sooo cute!
So my little sister and I are taking a road trip to Connecticut to steal a car.
It’s a long story.
The car belongs to my mother. My older sister took it months ago and drove it to CT and parked it at my dad’s place and just left it there. Now please don’t forget that my parents are divorced and my mom thinks my dad is Satan himself. The feeling might b reciprocated if my dad believed in Satan.
My dad has, apparently, since moved elsewhere and rented out his house to someone else. He will not answer his phone or respond to messages; not that that’s surprising since he avoids all of us children (except my older sister) like the plague.
My older sister called my younger sister and had a brief conversation this morning in which the following was clarified: she (my older sister) has the keys to the car, and she is some 4000 miles away on some island somewhere where they won’t let her use the phone. [I think it is some kind of meditation/health spa.] She said she’d call back in January sometime.
My little sister has the spare keys and the registration to the car. Therefore, even given the dubious fact that we’re driving up to someone else’s house and driving away in a car that is in their garage, we feel confident that they can’t do anything to stop us!
The story is a lot longer and more complicated and ridiculous (or funnier if you want to look at it that way) than I have described here. But somewhere down the line I lost my ability to write amusing anecdotes.
Impossible busy. I’m so busy at work I can barely have a conversation. There is only what’s left of today, and all tomorrow, and half Thursday before the holiday and then I won’t be back at work till January 3. This shits got to be rolled out and there is far too much coding left to do… Ahhh!
Some tasks are never done…
All tests/bloodwork/ultrasounds came back normal. This is good; it’s good to be normal at least in this regard, but bad because as usual I’m a mystery and no one knows what’s wrong with me… I guess I’ll have to try to solve things myself. Back to the research!
Zaubi bought me Tae Bo Flex. It’s harder than the other one in some ways though initially it seems easier… has some jumping back and forth in it which makes me think the bookshelves are going to fall right through the floor!
WOW! I just realized that I get Friday, Dec. 24th, off! And to add happy to happy, I also get a half day on Thursday Dec. 23!!!
Oh, I LOVE working in academia.
Something happened with the old folks’ home next door which has resulted in our garage being filled with raw sewage. It’s disgusting. Luckily all the sewage is leaking in a spot where neither Subi nor Celeste are parked. But it’s disgusting. And this of course is the worst day for it to happen – it’s 16 degrees and snowing and windy as all hell.
I like this apartment a lot. It’s snug and neat and attractive and close to work and in a great neighborhood. But the endless construction, car theft, and now raw sewage (on top of an already leaky garage) really leave me feeling rather… miffed?
Just got Subi back from the shop. He’s BEAUTIFUL! They did such a good job!
