I need a decent “to do list” application. For now I’ll post this here. Sort through pile of papers on desk Shred 2006 stuff Move 2007 bills and pay stubs to “last year” file Do taxes for 2007 Get and enter final W2 info, file return Rollover SGI 401k into Yahoo 401k Get blood tested again for iron Type up “things to do” for home repair projects Spend Lowe’s gift card on home stuff File papers in the “to be filed” pile File or shred additional papers in desk/hutch File timeshare papers Find homes for 2 dell desktops and 2 CRT monitors Reorganize computer cabinet/shelf area File manuals and papers on top of file box Put away stuff in “extra/wtf stuff” box Work on plan for forgotten realms campaign Work on “tarot reading for character background” system Replacement battery for Belkin UPS model F6C800

Today’s project was to trap a feral cat and deliver her to the local shelter for spay (or possibly neuter, not sure). We usually feed the ferals at 10-12 at night, so last night we didn’t, and they were still hanging around at 5:50. We put some nice smelly canned food in the trap and it worked like a charm. (It helps that we have been feeding them IN the disarmed trap for 2 weeks or so). ...

As of Monday I was back up to 288.2. I haven’t been exercising at all, and I’ve been having a lot of take-out and last-minute foods. As of this morning (Weds) I am 284.8.

Well, we had a big argument last night. I’m noting some of the points we were each concerned about, though this is by no means complete (and the actual argument took much longer because we each repeated ourselves a little…) It started off with a pretty familiar pattern of “Do you want to snuggle?” and “No, I don’t really feel like it because of X”. In this case X=“my feet hurt”. It’s one of those perfectly valid concerns that I can’t fault her for saying along with “no”, but that frustrates me because I think to myself, “If something were really important to me, I would not want to let X stand in my way”. ...

Some highlights: Woke up at 7:00 despite setting alarm for 5:00 (turns out I had set the “Monday-Friday” alarm) Mad rush to get to SFO in time. Split the party so we could check in bags and park at the same time. Made it to the gate in time for the lady to say “I sure hope you are the Connor party” Pretty uneventful flight Found out there is no shuttle to the resort (well, there is but it costs about the same as a cab ride) Took a cab to the resort Saw large fields of lava rocks and a lot of “Hawaiian Graffiti” (white rocks brought from the beach and arranged to spell names on the black ground) Got settled in at resort and had a burger from the cafe Walked down the road about 5 min to see Hilton Waikoloa and dine at a good, very expensive Chinese restaurant at hotel ...

Someone just friended me, but it’s hard to tell if the journal in question is run by a real person. We have no friends in common, and the journal was created today. 1 entry was posted in it (which I can’t see, despite being a friend) and the new journal’s 85 friends have nothing much in common other than being all from San Jose CA. Anyway, if this new friend is you, comment here or email me so I know you’re a real person. ...

It’s a Monday. I was very tired this morning so I ended up sleeping later than I planned - I got up at 8:30 instead of 7:00, skipped the shower, packed a lunch and hauled my butt to work. I thought about calling in sick because my knee really hurts today, and I’m having a little trouble getting around. Traffic was light, thankfully. I got here a little before 10:00, but I somehow doubt anyone will even notice. ...

Why yes, my commute *does* suck, why do you ask? And no, “bad” is not quite accurate… “soul draining” is probably more correct. I really have to move.

This morning I weighed 283.0.

I gained back what I lost earlier this year. I’m now at
