So this was supposed to be a post for Wednesday before I got busy. That changed quickly.

Listening to Behind The Bastards and learning a hell of a lot about Alex Jones at the moment. Like for starters, did you know that one of his ex-workers filed a lawsuit for sexual harassment, a hostile workplace, and around people who throw racist slants to be edgy? I know! It's really surprising.

Yeah, the sarcasm is soaked into the very words of that last sentence, but it's a great listen about things that really helped me understand more of the craziness of this business scheme he invented. At the moment, he is apparently going downhill fast as he hemorrhages money and I'm going to love seeing him go Chapter 13, hopefully along with the NRA and their financial struggling.

One of my bosses at the breakroom told me that my latest trivia mass mailers made her laugh aloud. I feel glad people are enjoying these, though at the same time I feel like I'm turning into that character Patton Oswalt played in Portlandia where all he does is write witty replies to party invitations.

Due to revisions in "tightening the business model," I have been two weeks so far just staying at home on Tuesdays and Thursdays. I'm not the biggest fan of this as I have now gotten used to being active everyday, so ended up doing housework. In truth, this may actually have been a boon for both of us. Got the laundry done, did some cleaning, prepped the trash, put away most of the laundry, and got the kitchen cleaned a bit. Michelle came home on Tuesday to dumplings and Thursday to rice noodles. Despite my concerns about gaining weight, Michelle thinks that not much has changed about me and that, if anything, my torso skin looks loose around the belly.

I confess that I did weigh myself earlier this week and saw that my weight was lower than ever before, but my belt is still more tight than loose at the 34 mark, so I'm very skeptical.

The hurricane messing with the weather patterns here have been giving us a large amount of rain and warm weather. Musty nasty weather. I'm probably going to be fighting slugs, but I'm hopeful that I can get one last good harvest before the frost hits next week, after which I'm pretty much done for the year and will have to put away the trellis.

Oh, we spent our weekend visiting Michelle's parents. They confirmed that they immediately noticed that I lost weight, as well as Michelle (although they took longer to acknowledge it). I think my arms are looking more muscular, but I could be wrong.

I'm so full right now from eating salad. I think my stomach shrunk again. Peanut butter mix (aka mixing peanut butter with soy sauce, vinegar, minced garlic, ginger, and/or sriracha) with apples and celery has replaced the occasional Reese's I've been taking from the candy jar. So far so good with the carb control.

Also, I've got a weird love of jello now. I am old.
