Congrats Erin!

I got a resume done today, a book review, fed sick husband lunch and dinner, squeed for a hour to friends and family, decided Jim Caviel is more wooden than a good cigar after watching 20 minutes of Person of Interest.

Things I didn't get done: Working on second resume, working on other freelance gig, dishwashing, sink shining or bra putting on. I will do all put possibly the last tomorrow.

I did get my second set (!) of business cars in the mail today, with a little tweakage, a nicer car stock with a glossy front and plain back for writing. They look so much better, for only $5 more!

And I totally fit into size 12 pants, and my 14s are loose. I am filled with a profound overall sense of things are finally going right -- this is added to by, but not the sum result of, pant size shift.

askye, it occurs to me this is your first winter in Maine after living in FL; it could be totally biological EAT ALL THE THINGS FOR WINTER.

And thank you, thank you!

I don't know what's going on with me but for the past few days I've been ravenous almost non stop and nothing I eat seems to make a difference. I ate dinner and I should be full, instead I feel like I haven't eaten all day. I went to bed feeling hungry even though I ate what should have been enough.

It's your first winter in a cold season climate! Your body wants to bulk up against the cold.

Got done today: a work project turned into the printer early (I will probably need to monitor proofs while overseas), got Tom his funeral clothes, put together my awesome trip book (with master itinerary, maps, and reservation confirmations), cooked dinner, bought and mailed a birthday card for my niece, rescheduled my doctor's appointment, called in a couple prescriptions, and clipped Marley's front claws.

Didn't get done: A grant database search class (on a specific database), going to a play I had free tickets for, returning a pair of shoes to Lands End/Sears, packing, giving a shit.

Things I didn't plan on doing but enjoyed: Sangria with lunch, lunch of an oyster poboy, watching How I Met Your Mother, reading this Tumblr.

But it hasn't been that cold! Not really. I've turned on the heater once. Plus I have plenty of bulk already. I guess it could be that. I need to start eating breakfast and now is the prefect time for oatmeal.

It could also be the 1/2 price Halloween candy I've been eating throwing off my blood sugar.

I need to start putting together the Thanksgiving menu.

ok - someone here mentioned Speed Cleaning by Jeff Campbell - It was interesting. Set my back up by saying - this is the way - but it was written in 1991. Some of it is great , but some of it would hurt my lungs. and it was written before magic erasers.

so it was interesting - and from a basic efficiency it works But it assumes a picked up house - I'm not eve ready to try it

That can be a symptom of untreated diabetes. If it is you might feel fatigue as well. I'd at least discuss it with a doctor by telephone. Don't mention coming in, because if you do they feel obliged to ask you come in, but just describe the symptoms and let them bring up coming in. (By discussing with a doctor, I mean of course leaving a message with their nurse, and waiting for the nurse to get back to you after discussion with the doctor.,)
