Brain Dump

I feel a little down, snowed into the apartment, my volition weak from lack of exercise...

Now, that's something, isn't it? At work you fight to keep ideas of what else you could be doing at bay. So when you can't go to work you find that those ideas don't come back readily. OK, they come back but not with motivation, because the motivation is what you were really keeping in check.

Now I have another flood in the bathroom. The landlord has said he will replace the toilet...

So let's work up a to-do list:

exercise
fix the bathroom
-take up the newspaper
-clean the floor
-empty the tub (of the glass vessel thawing out there)
-plunge the toilet
-rinse the plunger in the now-empty tub

do some laundry
vacuum my room (daytime only)
arrange the plants in my room
do more laundry
file my paper flotsam


And now for a list of what I *have* done this long, snowy weekend (began Thursday)

upgraded my soup with lima beans and rotisserie chicken
worked out twice
posted to my blog (yay!)
ran the dishwasher about three times
did one load of laundry
wrote some email
straightened up the coffee table just a little (needs more)
went to the grocery store -- picked the right lull in the weather!

And how about a calorie count for today?

soup 500 calories
cereal with milk and soy milk 300 calories
bananas 250 calories
1/2 apple 25 calories
jello 70 calories
omelet 200 calories
fruit juice 250 calories
organic peanut butter & dark chocolate 700 calories

Total: 2295 calories

I'd better exercise a lot.
