Thug Kitchen is amazing...but I will only drink them. This [link] doesn't apply to me, but I love it nonetheless.

I am irrationally annoyed at the two dings to my credit (proportion of balance to credit limits too high, amount owed on revolving accounts too high) because MOTHERFUCKERS THEY GET PAID IN FULL EVERY MONTH, I NEVER PAY INTEREST OR PENALTY. I roll other bills onto them to get points and $ to my principle on the mortgage. And the past couple of months? Every.goddamn.semi-annual-bill came due. It always does. So the balances ping a little higher, for like 5 minutes.

This is a petty gripe because my credit score is more than fine and I should just shut up and be grateful. But I always hated getting just shy of 100% in grades, too.

It also doesn't help my paranoia, too many balls in the air, I keep checking all my accounts obsessively to make sure I haven't dropped something.

msbelle, any news?

ION financial news: ac is OFF! Fan is ON. House is NICE.

I'm gonna be so glad when this is over. I'm insufferable to myownself.

Diabetes. He goes in on Thursday for the beginning of insulin and getting a curve.

mac is having a MELTDOWN over summer day camp.

Sigh. Ah well, at least it is a familiar drill. The diabetes. Well, the meltdown too. Sorry for that.

None of my attempts at making Loki lose weight are working. Based on what I'm feeding them, Loki AND Pumpkin are on reduced chow. Yet Pumpkin isn't underfed and Loki is still fat.

Ugh msbelle.

Things I learned today: 1) Charlie the dog is much more likely to bark at people if I leave the windows open

2) the car dealership I bought my new car from was able to sell my old car very quickly,

3) The person they sold it to either doesn't believe in paying tolls on bay area bridges or doesn't understand how fasttrak works.

4) the car dealership I sold my old car to seems to maybe have fallen down on the paperwork side of things.

5) My workplace (in a broader sense, not my office) seems to have stepped in a certain amount of poo a few months back, in a way that might well have bad consequences for my workplace (especially in the narrow my particular office sense), at least according to how it is just beginning to be covered in the press.

(I may decide to delete 5 soon)

sarameg, Loki is a member of the feline contingent, correct?

Lee,

oh god!

For this third day of the reinvigorated squat challenge, I am taking Zenkitty's advice to use a couch as a 'touch point.' I can say that it has improved my form dramatically.

My legs really are parallel to the floor.

I tried not swinging my arms out in front of me. NO GO.

This means my legs are feeling it WAY more. I guess it also means I was not making the most of my squats last month.

Thanks for the reset, Zen!

Lee had the Extreme Monday experience, I see. I say add bourbon.
