Got Krispy Kreme for breakfast, and due to getting myself one of the wrong flavour (creme instead of custard) it's not as suicidal as it could have been. Also bought a bunch extra for the team. And I even had mine with coffee. Which still doesn't taste good, but it did taste correct.

Pole dancing bruises as much as krav. Or it could just be me.

I'm trying to figure out a way I could call your company and somehow make more work for you.

NICE. I make my own work, which is the problem, really. I need to make more of it!

Did the ISP give a reason for the outage this morning, ita?

I probably shouldn't mention that I'm leaving work at 1:30 to catch the train, huh? Except for how I just did.

If you want to make sure you get an empty seat next to you, wear a train engineer's hat and make "chugga chugga chugga woo-ooh!" sounds and gestures once you sit down.

YAY ALLYSON!

Resting HR went from 74 to 80 (though I don't know what that means) BP went from 118/85 to 111/82 (though I don't know what that means)

Awesome metrics, all. The resting HR actually shouldn't have gone up, what with the improvement everywhere else, but that is highly variable, especially when being measured after you've been up and moving and when you're in a stressor environment like the doctor's. My doc refuses to assess my resting HR until she's had at least 4 measurements. The drop in the blood pressure, though, is super-awesome. As are the measurement changes. Those are the bestt rue indicators of your health improving. GO you!!

Already said in Bitches, but she's so nice I should say it twice: HAPPY BIRTHDAY, JZ!!

happy Birthday, JZ!

ita, I bought 3 of these [link] for bookcases. Great price, very sturdy and I can move them around by myself.

I honestly don't care if anyone sits next to me, provided that they don't repeatedly attempt to engage me in conversation while I am trying to read.

I don't know why, but so many people fail to bring something to pass the time with them on the train. And you'd have to be a pretty amazing conversationalist to be more interesting than my copy of Gaudy Night, yo.

Happy happy birthday to the brilliant, witty, gorgeous, and kind JZ!

Allyson, those are good changes to your numbers! Go you!

Power outage. Not impressed by their restart protocol.

Thanks for the rec, Tamara. I had some disappointing purchases from Target when I first started furnishing here, so I rarely get the momentum up to get to my inexplicably far nearest branch.

Happy birthday JZ, and congrats, Allyson! See what I meant about not dwelling on weight? It's not the only metric.
