In TO Sunday, Tuesday evening

[danaeris]

So, my schedule Sunday is a little more settled. I'll be going to Bi Brunch from 12-2, I have a meeting with the lesbian massage student at 2:30 at Runnymede, I have a meeting with the girl with the quiet house after that, and possibly one other marginal housing interview after that. My parents have offered a ride either to or from the city, so I'll only have to bus in one direction. The meeting with femmefatalist has been moved to Tuesday evening after work. faelady has bowed out, and sugarsnaps has not emailed me in ages so I guess she's not interested.

So, I may be available for socialness in the city Sunday evening, and Tuesday evening. Monday, I'll be at the social, of course.

Tonight I will be in Hamilton, unless someone offers me an invite to a certain party everyone seems to be going to AND high quality crash space.


Last night I felt like celebrating, so I got sugary icing cupcakes, which are like poison for a gal with PCOS but SO TASTY.

See, I've started losing weight rapidly. Well, sort of. Since I went on the Effexor, I've been losing weight like a normal person. I'm still eating 1500-1600 cal/day, and exercising not so much, but now I'm losing the appropriate amount of weight for that level of intake and output.

Even after the cupcake, I weighed in this morning at 183.8, a weight I've never hit on a downward swing.

Today my mother took me shopping. My parents have been worried about me, so they bought me a DVD to cheer me up. Thing is, it was a DVD I already owned. So, we returned it and I bought FOUR DVDs. I'm weak, what can I say? Then we visited xscargo.ca and factorydirect.ca on the mountain (some good deals, but I'm not sure what to think about this whole refurbished thing), and then finally the originally intended destination: Value Village.

I'm at that awkward weight where the 16s are stupidly loose but the 14s are a little too tight to warrant buying. But I did find two zip up sweaters to wear around the office when the heating is too low or the AC is too high.

Opinion: refurbished electronics -- stay away or not?

Mac: I'm strongly leaning towards the 12" iBook because light and small is good; the 12" PowerBook is slightly smaller and lighter, but vastly more expensive, has a shorter battery life, and some say, less durable and worse at picking up WiFi signals.

Anyway, I'm tired. I'm going to post this, do a few more things online, then disappear. I have four new movies I could be watching (including Hitchikers which I've never seen), knitting and around the house crap I could do, and of course, I still have to write that damned bulletin. arg. Edit I just rewrote everything I lost when the laptop died. I wrote it by hand so I wouldn't be monopolizing the parent's computer. Weird, working on a pad of paper. So retro! I'm not sure, but I think I work better this way. I hate to admit that, though. ;) Now I just have to write the feature, which I was dreading on Friday before the laptop died, and I'm STILL dreading today. Yuck! At least the stuff I lost only took me about 2 hours to write, since I already had all the research done.

I buy a lot of refurb electronics. I've never had a problem with them, though others claim elsewise. I find they're actually better; for the most part, if they're refurb, they've been inspected to death before being sent out again. I'm a big fan of them.
