Life has quieted down a little bit lately. Stuff going on behind the scenes, but nothing worth mentioning. One might argue the stuff I’m about to mention is also not worth mentioning, but too bad. Latest updates inside.
In no particular order:
- I’ve currently lost about 16 pounds, and am 2 pounds away from my first 10% goal. I now have a new digital scale, so hopefully future readings will be more accurate.
- We’ve started the process of having half of our house renovated. A new addition will add on a formal living room, breakfast nook, and bedroom in the basement, and our kitchen will expand sideways to take over the space currently being used by the originally designed dining room. We’ll be losing our deck, but we never use it anyway, given my two tendencies towards sun-burning and insect-hating. We may have a small patio instead, we shall see. An architect is coming up with plans now, we should hear back soon, then we can get an estimate from our contractor.
- My lawnmower has broken for the second time this lawnmowing season. Same symptoms as last time: I’m happily mowing, I stop for a second, I go to turn it back on (it’s battery powered), and nothing happens. This happened last year or the year before, also, but then it was more understandable as the mower’s handle snapped in half. Last time I took it in they replaced the batteries, so at least I know they’re good. My theory is it’s a loose wire, but I’m not comfortable enough with opening the casing to see.
- I’m currently 427th in line for a hold on the new Harry Potter book. And 77th for the book-on-CD version. I hope they get a lot of copies in….
That’s all for now. Hopefully more soon.
