last night we went out to girdwood to watch the young dubs play again. the opening act was…remarkable. we’ll leave it at that. the dubs, however, as usual, rocked beyond belief. the sound was very good, and they did _two_ sets instead of the usual one, so i was _particularly_ glad that i’d been Sniky and had rented us a room overnight at the alyeska prince hotel. it was ridiculously expensive, but totally worth it. :) we had a total blast, got back to the hotel around 1:30 with ringing…
wonderful boys
The wonderful boys have the back porch nearly all repainted. They’ll probably be done by the time I’m done with this entry, in fact. It looks all different and nice. :) They trimmed the lilacs, too, and even though I love crazy mad lilacs, it does look tidier. I talked my brain out of walking 5 miles today, and only did 2.5. That seems like enough, especially as there’s a Young Dubs concert tonight and I expect I’ll spend an hour or more jumping up and down. :) Looking forward…
Well
Well. The back wall of the bathroom, the one the wallpaper came off, looks perfectly awful. There’s no texture, so it’s all patchy and horrible, and painting it white made that painfully clear. I’m thinking of doing a sponge contrast on it, and hoping that makes enough contrast to make it look nicer. If not, I donno. Ted thinks maybe spackle stuff comes in a spray can, so maybe we’ll look at that. That’d be easiest of all, actually, if it does. It’d remove any /question/. The kitchen ceiling has…
thursday weigh-in
Down half a pound-ish this morning, after all that. It’s a little hard to tell, because my scale’s not digital, and I find myself peering myopically at my feet (yes, I do put my glasses on, but how often does one have the chance to say “peering myopically” in real life?). It is clearly not at 155. It is not definetively at 154. So we’ll go with 154.5, and do a little dance of glee for having seen any kind of loss at all. :)
huh. cool.
I’ll be darned. I made my exercise goal for August after all. In fact, I even made the one I’d originally set (33.5 hours) instead of just the one I readjusted to. I managed just a smidge under 35 hours. I’m very pleased about that. I’ve been exercising too much the last few days, though. My knees are tired, and stairs seem rather insurmountable. They’re not, but they seem that way. I’ve walked 5 miles a day for the last … six days, it looks like, and now my head…
