blahToday:
- I am putting myself on a diet. I've been getting too lazy and comfortable again, and procrastinating more. When this happens, I make bad food choices and don't restrain. Time to regroup. Digging out the scale later today for a reference point.
- Rode in.
- Lappley is done getting serviced, so picking it up tonight.
- Attacking some projects at work that I've been putting off.
- Breakfast at Tin Shed. Yummeh!
- Came into work and pushed some paper around on my desk for a while ... did no billable time, but took care of a bunch of administrative stuff.
- Got outside and worked in the garden for a few hours, roses and peonies are going nuts.
- Stepped into the guest room for the first time in several weeks and restarted a home improvement project.
- Grocery shopping.
- Ran out of propane right after I plopped the steak on the grill, so had to do a pan-fry instead. Set off the smoke alarm, as usual. Finished off a good Beaujolais.
- Attended services at the Church of the Sunday Paper and Coffee at the usual time.
- Felt like crap for some reason; hid in the computer room for a few hours after watering my neighbor's yard for him.
- Down to Salem ... picked up some flowers for Mom and Sis #3, whose birthdays we were celebrating; brought Guitar Hero and a carload of gifts.
- Ate a little, drank a little. Nieces went crazy over GH. Missed Jeff and Sandi's BBQ.
- Home; tired. Some GH with megakrunk Erin.
- Breakfast at Cup and Saucer, just discovered they have a location on Killingsworth.
- Laundry and gardening and sun. Started cleaning out the massive quantity of merchandise samples that L had accumulated in my basement; decided to gift to family and friends if I could.
- I think my across-the-street neighbor passed away; there were all kinds of people over there, including a couple guys in suits who looked to be coroners. Couldn't help but surreptitiously watch from a window as a stretcher emerged from the front door. I don't know if it was her, or someone else who was living there; I'd only conversed with her once, and a lot of people over the past couple years have stayed there temporarily.
- Erin's oven exploded and she had cupcake obligations, so she came over to use my kitchen. A chocolate mousse cupcake was offered (and enthusiastically accepted) as remuneration.
- Dinner at Betsy and Steve's: salmon over brown rice and peas with some kind of incredible buttery sauce. GH with Steve while Betsy called us dorks. Knocked a glass of wine onto the floor during a calisthenic rendition of "Sweet Child of Mine."
