how well do you know me?

Okay, this is Ellen’s fault: How well do you know me? EDIT: there are 46 possible points. :)

gymmed! wroted! read!

Yesterday was a pretty good day, overall. I actually *did* go to the gym, made myself sort of sick by biking too much, I guess (5 miles), and am mildly sore so I guess I did ok with the upper body weights.

Or, rather, I’d once more written myself into a sufficiently wrong place that going forward seemed pointless. What I ended up doing was writing a synopsis of how it…
