Daily Comment

Everybody considers today the first day past Summer. And it feels like that to me, too. While I am usually insensitive to the Summer-to-Fall season changes, this Summer has been a bit challenging, with intermittent air conditioner problems, and a general feeling of "Oh, what-the-fuck, anyway." 

Which, to be honest, I regard as a positive attitude; just not great for getting stuff done. Luckily, this Summer was not exactly replete with things to get done.

And the Summer ended pretty spectacularly here in Central New York: Sunday and Labor Day featured might thunder-and-lightning storms, and today, the high temperature is only 70 degrees. And, there are lots of leaves on the ground from that, too.

The line between end-of-Summer and beginning-Fall couldn't be clearer (or more a product of my imagination).

Diet Comment

Every once in a while, I get a moment of clarity, and come up with an explanation for something that has puzzled me. Today, I figured out why I gained five pounds in two days over the weekend. And, it was simple. Falling asleep in the living room of my apartment (by far the cooler room, thanks to it being the location of the one and only air conditioner). So, I haven't gotten up in bed, which means I've been 'way outside my normal routine, and I've forgotten to take my thyroid hormone supplement (which I've taken every morning first thing except for a handful of days for the last twenty-three years). This totally explains my weight gain. I took it last night, and look at the loss!

As Bugs would say, "What a maroon I am."

Speaking of which, I need to get rid of the protein bars. Life was better, if not easier, before them. They've become a trigger food. I have two boxes left, you will see a lot of protein bars (and probably a bit of weight gain) for the next couple of weeks.
