getting it together

Things are starting to even out.  My laundry still isn’t done, and the kitchen is still a mess, but those are ongoing projects since one person is generally asleep when the other’s awake around here.

  • work situation hasn’t changed.  There was a chance it would.  That isn’t happening.  Now that this isn’t in limbo, I can concentrate on grousing that I’m the only person into the office first thing in the AM.
  • got in some quality knitting time this week.  Knitting always helps even out the moods.
  • our housing situation is still up in the air, but looking a lot more favourable and a lot less bleak.  This makes me happier.
  • spent much less time on warcrack.  I actually *can* walk away from the game when it starts pissing me off. I actually rolled a wee mage on an Alliance server that a friend is playing on, just to noodle around.  I generally get bored with Alliance and ditch.   We’ll see if I continue the trend. So far for lvl 70 toons, Horde is winning, 2-0 ;)
  • down about 6 lbs this week.  Blood sugar is somewhat stabilizing.

overweight as a business plan?

I’m beginning to think that the office is seriously trying to make us fat.  If we can’t move to get away, maybe we’ll take more calls, right?  It started off with “healthy snack day” on Tuesdays and Thursdays.  I can get behind the sentiment, even if the execution sucks.  I’ve expounded on this before, but it bears repeating.  Breakfast bars, fruit bars, oranges, apples, and “low fat” yogurt.  Of course, “low fat” means “added sugar”.  All of the “healthy snacks” are loaded with sugar, even if the real fruit has added fibre.
