Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I've been trying to get back out for a couple of hours, but just looked and saw that one of the stores I was going to go to is closed! So I guess that'll wait until tomorrow. Which means I should do some work-work now, but nope.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Well, Walter was super persuasive so we walked first. After that, my plan was to go to Cost Plus and each lunch at one of the nearby restaurants before shopping, but the location near me has shut down, so I drove to the next nearest location and asked Waze what restaurants were nearby so I am only now getting lunch BUT it is going to be some kind of Thai deep-fried duck which, how can that not be delicious? Actually getting me shopping done is not looking a sure thing, but maybe that outlook will improve once I have some food in me.

I'm already going to make dinner!

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

I took a nap after Ubering for nearly 6 hours this morning. I can't imagine doing this full-time.

Now I think I'll make some bread. Bread is always a good plan.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

My credit union's fraud division replaced the money that some yahoo jacked from my checking account with my debit card info. And my new card and pin are here now. It's been a little over a week, and everything's back to normal. I'm kind of impressed with my credit union--it could have been a lot worse.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Car full of cardboard to the recycling center, trunk full of donations to the SPCA, how did that take all afternoon? Everything takes longer than you think it will. Now to put on clean clothes and go eat pizza with the fam. Then come home and try to accomplish at least one more thing on the list before I crash.

Light accomplishment day. 3 hours of exercise (No fucking doctor who prescribes exercise will take into consideration what other doctors are prescribing), 1 load of laundry, ten Xmas cards addressed.

Three hours of exercise! That's a lot.

What a relief, Calli.

Gets old. But if I don't do the aerobic, it shows in my blood sugar, which I need to keep down to save my eyesight. If I skip the muscle and stretches, various parts of me give intense pain. So, it is amazing how much the threat of permanent blindness plus short term feedback in the form of immense pain can motivate sticking to a food plan and exercise routine.

You're better at managing your blood than I am, Typo. Fortunately, my eyes show no signs of diabetic degeneration.
