Today’s Business: 2010-04-28

Wednesday, April 28th, 2010

Today’s Activities

  • Shower.  DONE.
  • Cat duty.   DONE.
  • Run two loads of laundry for Mom.  DONE.

Log

07:50 AM: I’m up.  

07:55 AM: No weight loss yesterday.  It’s still 173.5 Lbs.    See   here   for a summary of the progress on this goal so far in 2010.

10:00 AM: My phone and Internet went out for several minutes within the past hour or so.  But they’re back now. 

11:35 AM: Added a new category, called   Trust,   to the   Tom’s Love Quest   blog.

12:30 PM: Added a new category, called   Jealousy,   to the   Tom’s Love Quest   blog.

12:47 PM: Added a new category, called   Acceptance,   to the   Tom’s Love Quest   blog.

02:30 PM: Watched today’s episode of    The Young and the Restless   on the DVR.

04:15 PM: Added signature links to the   Recent Revisions   pages on all my blogs.   

04:20 PM: Nap time, with CNN’s Rich Sanchez in the background.

05:00 PM: I’m awake again. 

06:00 PM: A family friend stopped by to visit Mom, and to borrow some moving blankets I have up in storage.  We drove up there, loaded them into her car, then drove back here.  She’ll keep the blankets until late May, when she moves her daughter into a rental home on the south side of Pittsburgh.  Hmmm.  I hope I don’t forget that she has them. 

07:30 PM: Watched today’s episode of   Dr. Phil,   about sex offenders and the controversy surrounding their release back into society.  Can they be rehabilitated?  Surprisingly, the rehab success rates for these felons, particularly the non violent ones, is higher than many other crimes.

08:00 PM: Watched this evening’s episode of   NBC’s Nightly News.

10:15 PM: Talked with [Emmy] on the phone.  Her phone has been very stable the past several days.  It appears that Comcast found out whatever it was that kept interrupting her service during the first month she had it.  I hope it stays good. 

11:00 PM: Throughout today, I revised many posts in the   Tom’s Diary   and   Tom’s Love Quest  blogs to improve their title tags for SEO, eliminate duplicate titles, and added a    Related Posts   section to some that had none.  More of the same tomorrow. 

12:30 AM: Read for the past hour and a half.

01:20 AM: Upgraded all blogs to the new Google Analytics asynchronous tracking code.  This may increase the speed with which all pages from my blogs are rendered in browsers by enabling the tracking processes to run at the same time as the web browser rendering processes. Users of multi-processor computers will likely see the biggest benefit. 

01:25 PM: I’m going to bed (with a little advance     book reading before sleeping).  So good night, and I’ll be here again tomorrow morning.  Pleasant dreams now. 

Tom

Today’s Diet: 2010-04-28

Wednesday, April 28th, 2010

I keep this food diary to stay aware of just how many calories I’m eating daily, with the hope that it decreases the likelihood that I’ll overeat.    It seems to work, so here we go with another day…

Today, I consumed the following items:

  • Herbal tea and diet caffeine-free Pepsi  throughout the day. 0 calories.
  • 02:00 PM: 7 slices of muenster cheese.  560 calories.
  • 02:10 PM: 2 cups V8 vegetable juice.  100 calories.
  • 02:15 PM: Multivitamin.  0 calories.
  • 02:30 PM: 2 cups skim milk.  160 calories.
  • 06:50 PM: 4 slices of Lebanon bologna.  320 calories.
  • 07:00 PM: 2 bowls of Kashi Heart-to-Heart cereal and skim milk.  1300 calories.

Total calories: 2440.

08:20 AM: I’m up.  Hello. 

08:20 AM: No weight loss yesterday.  It’s still 173.5 Lbs.    See   here   for a summary of the progress on this goal so far in 2010.

11:08 AM: Added a new category, called   Compromise,   to the    Tom’s Love Quest   blog.

11:28 AM: Added a new category, called   Destiny,   to the   Tom’s Love Quest   blog.

11:50 AM: Added a new category, called   Obsession,   to the   Tom’s Love Quest   blog.

12:00 PM: Added the  http://tomhesley.com/  web site to Google Analytics.  I’m curious how many visits my home page is getting; particularly since I reference this page often from within my blogs. 

04:30 PM: Watched today’s episode of   The Young and the Restless   on the DVR.

05:00 PM: Added a couple of new categories, called   Attraction   and   Physical Attraction   to the   Tom’s Love Quest   blog.

06:10 PM: Watched today’s episode of   Dr. Phil   on the DVR; titled: Why Men Cheat.  Interesting show, because they talked about physical manifestations that very often accompany the cheating behavior in men; such as elevated testosterone levels, a ring finger that is longer than the index finger on the same hand, a “cheating” gene, highly symmetrical faces, and brain activity patterns that predict a high likelihood of infidelity.  Now they cautioned that the presence of one or more of these factors says neither that cheating will definitely occur, nor must occur in fact.  Indeed, they offered several treatments for men predisposed by their physiology to cat around, yet who desire to be monogamous.  Environmental factors play at least as big a part in affecting a man’s desire to cheat.  But I had to clap when they said that a man’s cheating behavior may not be entirely about free choice.    

07:10 PM: Worked the   Basement Cleanup: 2010   project.

10:25 PM: Added a new category, called   Honesty,   to the   Tom’s Love Quest   blog.

10:55 PM: Just hung up with [Emmy].  Now, I’m headed to read some of the      book, and then to bed.  So enjoy your night, and I’ll catch you right back here tomorrow morning.  Good evening. 

Tom
