Gym Report

30 minutes on the treadmill. Generally, I do these 30 minutes at 2.7 speed with one of two programs. The interval one is the harder of the two - it spikes up and then down and up and then down. The other one I use is called rolling and it's a small hill and then a huge hill and then another small hill.

Today I decided that I needed to ratchet up a notch so I went to 2.8 on the rolling hills one. Not a huge jump but enough for me to feel and I did it and no cheating so I'm fine with myownself this morning.

We have the kick off meeting for the next wave this afternoon. My days of leisure are drawing to a close. I suspect that maybe by the middle of next week or possibly a few days later, I'll be going back to 12 hour days. And they will continue pretty much, I think, until August.

It works out fine for me because while I'm not big on the out of doors any time of year, in Summer I like to stay withing a nice cool blow job of my air conditioner. My ideal summer is lots of work (fat paycheck), my wonderful air conditioner and winning baseball. And the Mariners are - I know, it's hard to believe - sucking way less in the last week. So... maybe?

Yesterday, the doctor gave me a prescription for Fluocinonide for my head which is itchy and scaly and as uncomfortable as it is disgusting (except my hair covers it so only I know how really disgusting it is). Anyway, I think it maybe my new miracle drug. She said it would take a couple of weeks to work all the way but after a day I can feel an excellent difference. Yeah!

And that reminded me that I have not had another bout of gout since I got the prescription for the drug that kills that.

I'm loving drugs.

Today's project - or maybe tomorrow's - is going to be under the bathroom sink. I have a generous vanity that is now full of crap I will never need again. I need to pull everything out and sort and toss. This house no longer needs any Tampax - or hot curlers.

About 1995, over the span of about 3 months, I paid good money for books that once I started reading them, I realized I had read them before. It happened about 3 times in a row. I had this shiny new website that needed content so I figured book reviews was as good as any and I started a list of all the books I read, complete with little reviews. Many years later, I moved the list over to Goodreads.com where I keep it up to this day although I do not read nearly as much as I used to.

I have 762 books that I have read on the list today and 73 that I have listed as reject. I *thought* I checked every time before I picked up a new book to read - particularly if I was paying for it... But...

I finally gave up this morning on a book I had bought. I just could not slog through it. I went to goodreads to mark it as a reject where upon I discovered that in 1998, I read it and LOVED it. What.Ever

Today I'm starting the latest Michael Connelly. It will not be a reject - at least I know that for sure.

this guy would have been finished and in the green chair but the Mariner game got a little tense in the 9th and knitting kind of stopped until the last out and then it was bedtime... sorry, bear.

When I killed my laptop, I thought very possibly, that I was just doing or not doing something really obvious. And, honestly, if my brother was not in the biz, I would have screwed around with it a lot longer. Actually, knowing he was there and ready probably enabled me to break it more better...

I knew that the minute it got to Texas, they would fire it up and it would work fine. Machines always screw with me that way. They would fire it up and and it would work and they would think 'what an idiot she is...'

They probably do think I'm an idiot but not that way. Whereas here, it booted up off a USB CD drive and asked me if I wanted to install Windows 7 (and then wouldn't let me), when it got there, it blue screened!! Isn't that the nicest thing? They think it's memory or mother board. Memory = good, mother board = that Lenovo U260 I've had my eye on...
