Week 41 - cardio

I was just not that into it today.  I did the whole treadmill thing with elevation but I did rest on the side rails for about a third of the time.  I'm a slacker. 

The Other Old Fat Lady was there and she gave me a big smile and good morning!  I was delighted.  There were some other regulars but I was later than usual and there weren't too many people there at all. 

Something tells me that all this will change next week.  Wonder how long the New Years Resolution gym people last.  Guess we'll soon find out!

Shower time.

Jack me no more...

Of all the handy, quick nearby places to get a hamburger, Jack-in-the-Box has the best. Best burger, best fries. Only they are excruciatingly slow. Their driver-thru is single handedly the cause for most global warming caused by car emissions. It's a parking lot but leave your motor running.

But today I really wanted a Jack's hamburger. So I popped the Eeee into my purse and decided to go in and eat there.

Their inside service is worse. And you get to stand with the low lifes while you wait. No, you can't borrow my cellphone. No, I don't have a $20 for you. No... And it's dirty and once I sat down and fired up the wifi, I learned that I had to get the special 5 digit code from the counter people. I did a Sudoku puzzle.

The hamburger was not that great. I am done with Jack. Next!

Calculate this, sucka!!

I discovered another Linux (ish) pot hole. I can't work the calculator. As in I do not know how. 

The first calculator I ever met was in statistics class in college. I hated the class. I hated the professor (Dr. Wu who pronounced it study sticks). The calculator was the size of an old Royal typewriter and it made a horrible racket and never did what it was supposed to - at least under my fingers. 

Oh, I just went and found a picture of one.  See above.  It weighed about the same as Dr. Wu, by the way.

I was good at arithmetic (at least in those days) and could work a slide rule so who the hell needed that giant piece of shit?

Then in the mid-70's when I had a sales job at IBM, I got an HP pocket calculator. I got it because the branch manager said to and it looked cool in my brief case. I never did learn how to use it.

I can use the Windows calculator, although I'd kind of rather use Excel and/or have a print out.

I cannot figure out the Linux calculator to save my soul. And it's mostly probably because I don't want to.

But, speaking of numbers... I got the work package thing from my ex (she says gratefully) CPA for taxes today.  So I just pulled out my pencil and sat down and filled in 90% of it!!  And I got out copies of the past two years and started a nice little bundle for Mr. New CPA.  

Interestingly, when the guy who retired had the place, there was always a nice cover letter thanking me for my business and telling me how he looked forward to serving me again.

This year, no letter.  Just a notice that they will be outsoucing some of the work (the way it was worded it sounded like offshore outsourcing, too) so if we don't like it, tough.  And, they would much prefer that we file extensions and do the returns after April 15.  

I'm so glad I have Mr. New CPA.

I am so glad I have that appointment with the skin doctor on Monday morning first thing.  Some of these spots are just itching me to death and the others feel like scleroderma.  I'll go and she'll probably tell me that there's nothing that can be done - that it is my karma and lot in life and I should suck it up and be grateful I have fingers and toes.  At least then, I'll know that there isn't an easy and obvious fix and I'm suffering for a reason.

Both Travis and Betty are being exceptionally adorable today.  So much so that it makes me want to go search the house and see what they broke.
