I had to post this link....
Y'all (or should I say yinz?) should know that apparently, the Bill of Rights doesn't apply in airport security zones. Go ahead. Click over and read it. I think witty criticism is unnecessary. I simply say: WTF?!
And as long as I've be roused to blog...
We made a bid on a house a week or so ago and got outbid. So we're having another go-round tomorrow. If all goes well, we'll make another bid on Monday. Once we have a closing date, we can start making firm moving plans. It'll be wonderful when the whole family (me, JE and the kitties) can be living together again.
I've actually started to do something about my weight. I've been Fast Tracking for about a week and today is my juice fast day (don't let the book title fool you--it's a 10-day plan). Radically cutting all the crap out of my diet--well, I wouldn't call it fun--but it probably was necessary.
Despite the fact that I've gone caffeine-free, my energy is pretty good. I'm sleeping more, still less than 8 hours, but closer. Mostly I notice that I just have to be more honest with myself about when I need rest.
I really miss chocolate. A couple of times, I've thought that I ought to go to a health food store for sugar-free carob snacks, but I haven't gotten around to it.
During my fast "prequel," I felt like a was force-feeding myself vegetables. I actually got sick of eating. It's funny. I'm usually ravenous in the evening, but, in the past week, my evening thought was, "God! I have to each what, now? Aren't I done yet?"
If I had more time to cook, I might be able to make it more enjoyable. But I'm just trying to stick to the diet. Ridiculous organization was the only way to keep me on track, so twice a week, I organized crucifers and leafy greens in plastic containers, supplements in baggies, checklist on the Treo. Crazy. Organized.
I had a couple days of achy detox symptoms. Hot baths and saunas did wonders. Overall, it's been a good experience, so I think I'm going to jump right into another cycle. Then I'm going to have some Ben and Jerry's Half Baked.
BTW, I haven't been entirely silent lately, I blogged twice on the UGA blog.

Crazy, crazy
It's been a crazy, crazy couple of weeks. Jon Erik is thrilled in his new position. We've been house-hunting in every spare moment. We're working on making a bid on a house in Regent Square (yay!) that needs quite a bit of work (sigh). More to follow.
And it's 9/11. Since everyone else is reflecting on where they were, etc., on that day five years ago... I can't help but think of what I had planned to do that day: talk to my former boss about working remotely so that I could move to Ohio to be with Jon Erik. And here we are five years later and I'm doing it again in reverse. Oh, the irony! Oh, the urge to sigh once again.
On top of everything, I was rear-ended into another car last week. The driver didn't have a legal and up-to-date licence and has been sentenced to pay out of pocket. Pay my insurance company that is. Insurance is good. Again, sigh.
The stress of the last week has started to really get to me. I'm simply a nervous wreck during my commute, and, throughout the rest of the day, I've been experiencing a lot of random hickups. What can I say--I have my father's nose and my mother's esophagus.
But at least I have kitties to keep me company. They are both very needy (especially when I've returned from weekends in Pittsburgh) and unusually inactive. They always have been more active when both Jon Erik and I are around. With Jon Erik now in Pittsburgh (except for the odd weekend) the kitties aren't finding much inspiration to perform. I plan to take them with me this coming weekend. They aren't themselves when they travel, but at least Jon Erik will get to see them.
