Two douche nozzles are causing a ruckus on the road in front of our house. We were thinking there was either going to be a drag race around the circle or maybe a knife fight or something like that.
We were watching out the window trying to decide if we wanted to invite Methuen’s finest to the party when they drove away.
Feel free not to come back. I’m tired and need some sleep and don’t want to be distracted, m’kay?
I didn’t have much of a breakfast today. It was just a couple of protein supplements while in the car on the way to the office. Nothing special, but there were no issues at all. Check.
Lunch was one serving of microwaved chicken tenders and a couple of ounces of peanuts. No issues there either. My stomach handled it well. The closest I came to a problem was actually feeling a little too full.
I am at about 80% of my protein goal, and 75% of my liquid goal. After last night’s shenanigans I was worried that things would go bad today. Fortunately it is so far, so good.
Here’s hoping dinner goes off without a hitch too. It’s looking like it might be protein bars in the car again, but that’s okay. Fingers crossed.
As soon as the weather starts clearing up, I’ll start shooting downtown again. I promise.
Traffic wasn’t too bad this morning. I made it to work in just over an hour. Now we just have to deal with it until we can go back home where we belong again. Less than eight hours to go!
Happy New Episode of The Mandalorian Day!
The good news is that I am down 0.4 pounds since last Wednesday’s weigh in. The bad news is that I am up one pound since Saturday’s monthly weigh in. 44 weeks worth of scale stepping and this is only the second time I’ve been up. I’m not happy about it, but I am okay. I knew I’d been eating quite a bit more than I had at any time since this all began, so I knew that gains were coming. That doesn’t mean I like seeing it when they get here. It’s okay though. The overall trend is very much down and we’re still progressing according to plan.
I’m more concerned with how much trouble I had eating last night. Usually when I get that weird stomach block thing there is pain but it clears after half an hour to 45 minutes. An hour on the outside. Last night it just didn’t clear. Also, there was no pain to speak of. I just couldn’t eat anymore. After an hour and a half or so I thought I was through it but one bite showed otherwise. I’m fine now, but it’s been nine hours since that bite of sugar free pudding. I haven’t eaten breakfast yet but I have had half of my liquid goal without issue.
Okay, I have watched this morning’s new episode of The Mandalorian, and the new episode of The Bad Batch is about to end. I need to get my day rolling. It’s an in the office day today so I have a lot to do and a short time to do it. Wish me luck.
In the last post I mentioned that my stomach has been acting like a dick since dinner. After 90 minutes without eating I thought I was through it and tried to have a little cup of pudding. One bite clued me into the fact that whatever was going wrong hadn’t even remotely passed. That was an hour ago and it still hasn’t cleared.
So we are at 2.5 hours or so now with just the smallest bit of sugar free pudding taken in and still my stomach is acting like an asshole.
What the hell, stomach? Why you gotta be such a dick?
Well, today’s time lapse is pretty boring. Next time I will start the video before I light the candle. That seems to be what causes the best stuff.
Dinner is putting up a fight tonight. I didn’t notice anything bad happening but after I was done with my piece of chicken it started hitting me. 45 minutes later I’m still waiting for whatever went wrong to clear out. I blame the uninteresting time lapse video for the stomach fun.
The World Baseball Classic starts tonight in Taiwan.
Do I care?
Whenever they put on one of these tournaments, I always want to follow along and be a fan, but I always fail. Will this be the year that I finally catch World Baseball Classic fever?
The first two games are in Pool A. Cuba plays The Netherland tonight at 11:00pm in my time zone. Panama plays Chinese Taipei tomorrow at 6:00am in my time zone.
I kinda want to watch a game or two, but I doubt I’ll be watching either of those games at those times.
We will see.
Here’s a look at the pools and the bracket (sort of).
It’s one of those days again. Get ready for another candle time lapse video.
