Today’s Business: 2010-01-16

Saturday, January 16th, 2010

Today’s Activities

  • Cat duty. DONE.
  • Dispense Mom’s meds.  DONE.
  • Shower. DONE.
  • Fill out and Return all requested forms to the financial planner.

 

08:30 AM: I’m up.  My weight remains unchanged from yesterday; it’s still 178.5 pounds. Looks like I’ll have to nudge it along today in order to stay on schedule, by declaring this an 800-calorie day; that is, a day where I eat no more than 800 calories.  To keep from feeling overly hungry, I’ve got my green tea here.  That will get me to around 5:00 PM.  After that, the hunger typically becomes unbearable; the room starts spinning and I begin feeling nauseous and lose my ability to concentrate.  When that occurs, I’ll have a big glass of fat-free milk, which usually provides enough calories and nutrition to quell that ”hunger sickness”.  Then a little later, I might have a bowl of soup or something light, at around 7:00 PM.    This last meal I try and time so that it’s late enough to suppress my appetite until well past bedtime, but not so late that it interferes with my sleep patterns.  Wish me luck today. 

10:55 AM: Did a little   Internet shopping   this morning.  Bought the accessible Internet radio we’ve been curious about.

01:15 PM: Worked the   Christmas Lighting, 2009   project.  Taking down still more lights today. 

02:00 PM: Mail received today:

  • Offer from a credit card company to sign up for their rewards program.  No thanks.

02:30 PM: Created audio journal episode:   AJE-2010-01-16-14-16   on the Victor Reader Stream.  Here, I discussed the successful kickoff of the pursuit of love from my past.  More on that later, when I actually get around to transcribing this episode onto my blogs. 

05:30 PM: Watched the following television shows from the DVR:

  • The 2010-01-06 and 2010-01-07 episodes of   Dr. Phil.

 

07:25 PM: Worked the   Christmas Lighting, 2009   project some more. 

09:25 PM: Took the   weekly system backups

10:00 PM: Talked with  [Emmy].  We did our usual playing around on the phone.  Nothing very serious or deep.  Just light, happy fun.  :-)

11:40 PM: Posted the list of added and / or revised posts for this blog,   here.

11:45 PM: Categorized some more posts for this, the   Tom’s Diary   blog.  Now, there are just 60 left to do.

12:00 AM: Good night, once again.  See you in less than ten hours.  Take care.
