It’s the third day of the month. A few things to note:
- it is the first day of the spring semester. I know, it seems odd to refer to it as the spring semester when it starts in January but it ends in April, so it kind of balances out
- it was very busy today
- I now have a lifelong hatred of projectors
- well, maybe not lifelong but at least a week long
- the sidewalks that have not been shoveled are basically sheets of ice; I observed several people slipping but none actually ended up flat out, so that’s a positive
- I was too tired at lunch to write or work on writing-related stuff, so I surfed
- same thing this evening; I’m allowing myself this one day as an exception since I’m just getting into the swing of things after a few weeks off
- I have been pretty good on snacking today, having resisted several plates of cookies and other treats
- I have over 16,000 steps today, which was my usual average back before The Fattening began–an encouraging sign
- 17 days to go until Inauguration Day. Will we find Bobby in the shower and realize this has all been a crazy dream? Here’s hoping!
- I’m going to be finishing up “The Box on the Bench” by popular request. I love the idea and parts of the story but it needs some major reworking. I haven’t decided if I’m looking forward to this yet or not.
- I’ve gotten full value on the “damn snow” tag this past month
- the forecast is calling for snow showers on Friday, followed by rain, followed by more snow showers, with temperatures going up and down not unlike a rollercoaster. This means at least a few more weeks of snow/ice/slush/some form of cold horror on the ground. This also means more time on the elliptical and/or treadmill!
