It feels like winter is here - must start storing acorns

Order of Operations

This is a crucial part of learning how to perform calculations and how to deal with life and all of its challenges. I'm starting to believe that the world and my fate is part of a large field calculation and that it is a good thing to step back and look at where things may go wrong and fix them. I'm also a big believer these days in object oriented living. Taking things down to their component parts and reusing and referencing them, saving time and redundancy. I wish the rest of the world felt the same way.

All of the tracking

That's my kind of #5aday - thanks @simplymeasured #liftsocial

I started tracking my food again - it is not helping. I am still eating way too much sugar. I'm still not getting enough of the green stuff.

I'm still eating like a four year old with a somewhat sophisticated palate.

At the same time, I'm making reservations for Michelin starred restaurants for my December trip to Paris.

Go figure.

Tuesdays

that feel like Mondays are hard.

I could use do over of Monday with part of Tuesday to boot. I'm looking forward to the rest of the week.

I wish I had more to say, but my mind is filled with calculations, bar charts and thinking about what Thanksgiving will bring.

Monday musing

There is no place I would rather be today 

Although this was pretty cool to wake up to

Some days it is just better to stay in bed or carrying it with you.

Real life

There is something to be said for flying from LA and  going straight to the office. This followed by  spending an hour in traffic  to sit for another three hours in class and then to come home to stream a sitcom and eat mediocre soup dumplings.

Nothing changes on the return to Seattle except for the 40 lbs of fruit we hauled back. There are the same bills,  bags to unpack and the same spreadsheet you were happy to close on Tuesday hasn't miraculously fixed itself. I sometimes wish this were not the case.


 I am glad to be home for the next month to deal with all of this and more.

Happy Thursday.
