Day two of actually getting up and exercising. Yay me! I also figured out why my right index finger knuckle was bruised yesterday. The jumprope has metal um rope attachment to the handle thingies, and when I miss a jump (which I do often) the way I hold the jumprope makes the metal rop attachment to the handle thingies smack into my knuckles.

There’s a couple of other things I’m poking at, so over the weekend I’ve gotten about 600 words written, which isn’t a…

Lil’ bookstore accident today; at Fred Meyer, they had signs up in their books section saying ‘buy 2, get 1 free’ and we found 6 we wanted, but it turned out it was only 1 per customer, so we accidentally bought 5 books and got 1 free instead of buying 2 books and getting 1 free, or buying 4 books and getting 2 free, which was what we were trying for. I said, “But there are two of us!” to the cashier, and she looked apologetic but didn’t give us…
