BTW, Zen, were you still interested in those Buffy DVDs? I've got S2 and 3.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.
Thanks, -t. They've been doing some restructuring, and I have the feeling they may try to get me to take a supervisory position. I have worked out my response, if that happens: "Ok, but I want at least a $3/hr. pay increase. $1 to bring my pay up closer to what it should be and $2 for the additional work it's going to be. Oh, and time spent on direct care does NOT overlap with admin. time. I want that part in writing."

Good. Stick to your guns.

Why isn't everyone pelting me with JOY, dammit? - Zenkitty
Excellent response, WS. Good thinking to plan it in advance so they don't catch you flatfooted.

I think I have less ability to stop eating trail mix when I am inside sitting in front of a computer than when I am outside actually hiking and whatnot. Bringing a quart bag to nosh on as my lunch may have been a mistake.

Dang, I just went up and down the stairs twice and I feel like I have lost all my conditioning. HR is up, I'm breathing heavy. That didn't take long.

Back tattoos of the mother is that you are absolutely right - Ame
Getting my home office set-up upstairs means I'm running up and down the stairs multiple times a day. It is getting easier and easier each time.

I have high hopes for what my second-floor apartment will do for my cardiovascular system. I'm not so sanguine about my knees.

Very good! I have no stairs in my house and my neighborhood is super flat, so I have to go to some effort to climb. I've been going up and down the stairs once an hour at work for a while now and I think it was doing some good because I had a much easier time with the elevation changes while backpacking than I expected, and the hills we hiked up and down and the stairs in the house we were staying in this past weekend were fine and I THOUGHT would continue to help with the conditioning, but today it does not seem so.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Go, WS!
I am in terrible shape, and kind of wish I lived on the second floor, so at least I would get that. There are always all these great NYC stories about how many 90+ year olds live in 5th floor walk-ups, with the implication that it keeps them healthy. 5th floor is still too far.
