Wednesday and Thursday
Yes. Only three days in I missed a post. Yeesh.
Yesterday (Thursday) was a little out of the ordinary routine. I had a dentist appointment in the afternoon, and a crisis at work in the morning. Somebody who may or may not be at my company for much longer accidentally executed a script on our production system while using another persons account. That’s the sort of thing our security people frown on.
In the evening I spent a bunch of time working through my new Ruby on Rails book. What I’m doing at work right now isn’t particularly technical (more of an organizational change project), so I have plenty of spare brain power and technical enthusiasm left over. I’ve decided to check out this Web 2.0 stuff. Pretty cool so far.
In any case, I only realized that I had missed posting for the day when I was headed for bed. At that point I didn’t have then energy to do a post justice, so I decided to cheat and make up for it today.
Without further ado, here’s a recap of Wednesday.
“Today I’ve had my usual cereal and coffee. Lunch is noodles and sauce that I didn’t use in the lasagna plus the usual options (carrots, apples, yogurt). More on that tomorrow.“
Well, that’s exactly what I had. For lunch I had the pasta, a bunch of baby carrots, an apple and a fat-free yogurt. In the evening we went to the show, which was pretty good, but it is a little strange seeing a bunch of guys in their 40s and 50s pretending to be The Beatles. If you closed your eyes though, they we dead on.
At the show Elizabeth and I had a Italian sandwiches. I ate all of mine (’cause I was hungry). We also had a couple beers each. (bottles of Newcastle Brown Ale, or “Dog” if you’re from Newcastle)
That was it for Wednesday. On Thursday morning I weighed in and was delighted to find myself at 198lbs. Yippee. That’s down 1.5lbs from the week before.
Thursday was also a pretty good day food-wise. I ate:
- Breakfast: Cereal and coffee
- Lunch: a smallish portion of pasta served with broccoli and chicken in a vodka sauce.
- Supper: talapia poached in grapefruit juice and a salad.
- Snacking while hacking: a handful of nuts
- Post hacking TV time: a dirty gin martini and 5 Ritz crackers.
Today I’m at home and I’m going to spend some more time tearing apart the basement. I should be able to get the rest of the demolition done today. Hopefully I won’t cut any more pipes!
