prosodic- I gained 2.5 pounds on this most recent excursion. YAY for lots of walking! YAY for lots of walking uphill! Believe me, the steady diet of fatty food certainly didn't help me, weight-wise or in how I felt in general. I'm just glad that it wasn't worse. And I should lose it pretty easily.
So...on that note...
- Back to spinning today. Gaby is now on hiatus, so I joined the 10 AM class that just recently started. It was different. It was much more intense, and the class ran longer. It's good that I burned about 5 million calories, but I almost had an asthma attack in doing so.
- And the close call was probably brought on by the fact that both my inhalers are past their expiration dates. Must rectify that situation. Will go to the pharmacy tomorrow and see if I have any albuterol refills left. If not, must get prescription renewed.
- Two more months.
- I noticed in the American Women of GK's October newsletter that they mention my Stars & Stripes article from a year ago (their featured country this month is Italy). However, they failed to mention that I wrote the article...me...one of their members. At least what they said about my article was complimentary. ETA: There will be a correction made in the next newsletter. Thanks, ladies. :)
- I'm reading a novel by Frances Mayes right now. I love Frances Mayes. She is my travel writing muse. I do not, however, really like this book. I'm surprised and a little upset by this. I really want to like it. I'm not sure I'll finish it. It's due back to the library on Wednesday, and I may not bother to renew it.
- I got three magazines in the mail today...YAY! But of course, I don't really have time to read them.
- I have too much to do, and don't know where to start. I just want to shut down and not do anything. How many of you also feel this way sometimes?
- I told myself that I would apply for 5 jobs a day (if I can even find that many...there are so many crap jobs out there that I have to weed out to find the good ones). I applied for one today, and it's my dream job (I mean, as far as a job that I can get realistically...not a fantasy job, which is nowhere near my reach). I don't really care to apply for any more now. But I know I have to. I am just having difficulty finding anything that appeals to me. If I have to settle for a mediocre job, than I guess I will, but I am not giving up so easily. I've spent most of my life working sucktastic jobs. It's time to find something that really moves me. ETA: Just got generic email from company where I applied saying that a recruiter will be in touch with me soon. Just as long as I talk to someone and have a chance to try and get my foot in their door.
- Agenda for today: find 4 3 2 more jobs to apply for. Clean house.

I'm glad that so many people found it helpful, and I thought it was kind of funny that nobody noticed it had my name on it. ;) If I was really mad, I would've emailed somebody about it.
