TECHNICAL DIFFICULTIES

I apologize for not posting last night, I couldn’t connect to my WordPress installation, which meant I couldn’t write nor publish. I’m not sure what was going on and it was getting too late to connect to tech support to figure it out.

The connection is a bit unstable right now so I’m going to publish quickly so this goes out. I’ll investigate more on the weekend.

BLUEBERRIES

For the last month or so I’ve been eating a bowl of frozen blueberries in the evening. Well, they’re not totally frozen, I leave them to defrost for about 15 minutes. They’re not rock solid but still a bit firm and but not too mushy either. I do this for several reasons. First, blueberries are delicious. Second, they’re good for you (though probably better if they were fresh). Third, it’s an economical way to eat fruit. A whole bag goes for about $5 and if I were to spend the same amount on fresh blueberries, I’d get maybe a handful. Instead, the bag lasts me over a week.

Blueberries also have an amazing effect on my bowels. It’s very rich in fibre, so it keeps me very regular. It also makes my poop a deep shade of blue. Try some blueberries today!

COLA CRAVING

I stopped drinking soft drinks, diet or otherwise, almost two years ago now. In the last several days, however, I’ve been craving a good, cold, and refreshing Coke Zero. The taste, the bubbles, and crisp coldness all beckon me again. It’s not even summer and I want to taste it again. I will resist however. Instead, I shall have fried chicken this week.

THREE TIMES AGAIN

I pooped three times today. I did the same just a few weeks ago. Just like that time, I wasn’t sick or suffer from any intestinal distress that would bring on so many poops in one day. I just had to take three normal poops: once in the morning, once in the afternoon, and once in the late evening.

I didn’t eat any more than normal today, so I’m not sure where my body is making all this waste. I wonder, what would happen if I ate bran and drank Metamucil all day?

BUSINESS REPORT

Today I learned than an Airbus company named Stelia Aerospace was formed in January of 2015 from a merger of two other companies: Aerolia and Sogerma. Just try saying Aerolia aloud to yourself. Say it a few times. Huh. Ok, enough of me being childish.

SNOW DAY

On Friday, it began snowy heavily right after the workday started. It didn’t take long for the snow to stick and accumulate on the ground. By 11am, we were told we could go home if the snow was going to cause problems. Some people started leaving immediately. Other had listened to the forecast the night before and didn’t even come in, deciding to work from home. Those were smart people.

I looked at the real-time info for the bus route that I use and it didn’t seem all that bad, so I decided I’d leave after lunch. I had work to get done, plus if it was going to be a bad commute, I might as well get fed first. I left sometime after 2pm and the studio floor was pretty empty by then. Other than trying to walk through nearly 10 cm of snow, my commute home was pretty normal. I got home around 3pm, took a nap, and then logged on to do some more work.

I’m really glad I got home when I did, because it continued to snow the entire time. Later in the day, it looked like blizzard conditions out there, just a massive wall of white snow coming down. It ended up feeling like a bit of a long weekend since no one stuck around for the full Friday. Anyways, that’s how I ended the week.

FRIDAY

I’m not sure how this week went by so quickly but at the same time, I don’t think I got a whole lot done. I’m tired, my skin is all dry, I’m ready for the weekend. I just need to have a super productive Friday.
