Bwahahahahahahaha! I'd love to see you driving around NY in the pink HK mobile. So awesome!
Everybody dies, Tracey. Someone's carrying a bullet for you right now, doesn't even know it. The trick is to die of old age before it finds you.

I know my own heart and understand my fellow man. But I am made unlike anyone I have ever met. I dare to say I am like no one in the whole world. - Anne Lister

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
So.... anyone want to take the results of the two meetings I had this morning and incorporate them into my document? Basically re-writing the whole thing? Because I sure don't want to.
I am mad tired for no good reason. I mean, I realize I've stayed up too late every night this week, but not for any good reason. BAH.

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!
Kat - you look so strong!
I have had such a hard time with fitness proffessionals - they want me to lose weight -after I have told them my goal is to get strong. "Well, you should lose weight" . D'oh. I know me - I actually gain muscle pretty fast .In a month - I might only lose 4 lbs - but I'll shrink 5 inches off my middle. The scale is a bad way of measureing things for me. But , right now the scale is saying get off your ass and move more. weight has crept up and so has blood sugar...

Juliana, yes! of course you may read the Shakespeare paper. Should have been done on Monday but i'm still plodding along. I'm a little avoidy on finishing it. Also, have you read Will in the World? Will of the World? The Stephen Greenblatt book? It's amazing. Very thought provoking.
David, I'll have to read up on Nu Shu. Very cool.
Nilly, I'm looking specifically at England, because then I won't have to translate docs.
On weightloss: I found the thing that worked for me was weighing myself every day. Well that, and I had a fat farm visit for the first 12+ weeks, every day where I was weighed in and they reviewed what I ate the day before from my food journal. It kept me honest. Now I weigh myself every day and I can sort of predict and take comfort in what's going on.
For example, the bourbon I drank last night and the dim sum I had and the slice of tiramisu won't show on today's weigh in (which shows I lost a pound from yesterday) but I'll probably see it tomorrow. If I don't see it, then I should just keep a bourbon and dim sum diet.

x post with beth!
Yeah, the other thing was clothing size and actual measurements. My weight shows that my BMI is still overweight. So some numbers work and some don't.
What's Fitday?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Dell Warranty just called me. I think I was both concise and precise in my distaste.
Also, they could stand to read all the way through their records before trying to upsell me on an extended warranty.
Unrelated to that I have a hell of a migraine. I think the rest of today's work is happening from home.
Grr.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"
I couldn't resist clicking on GC's link - my God that's cute! and I'm not a big fan of HK. Whoever gets it will probably end up being mobbed by little (and not-so-little) girls wherever they go.

[link] Fitday helps with the food tracking quite a lot.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…
Also, have you read Will in the World? Will of the World? The Stephen Greenblatt book? It's amazing. Very thought provoking.
Not yet - keep meaning to, but the To Be Read pile is already hi-yuge. And AWESOME on you sharing your paper. Can't wait to read it!

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
Fitday never really worked for me -- according to their calculations, I should have been losing almost a pound a day the whole time I was tracking my eating habits, which...no. NSM. Their estimates of caloric intake were pretty accurate, but their defaults for caloric expenditures were way out of whack.
