One town's very like another when your head's down over your pieces, brother
So my weight has been bobbling up and down in the mid-380s, which isn't as good as having it go down into the 370s but beats having it pop up into the 390s. BG has been mostly good, BP the same, but if I keep scarfing up frozen Mexican foods it probably won't stay that way.
Raley's instituted a first responder/veteran discount on the first Tuesday of the month, which is 10% off everything and stacks with the seasoned citizens 5% discount. So I went out Tuesday and bought $110 worth of groceries for $73 after all the sales and discounts and coupons. Forgot the eggs, but I'm not out of those yet.
After staying up late reading D.J. Butler's wild steampunk adventure The City of the Saints, I started reading Julie Frost's Pack Dynamics, but it was Too Exciting, so I put it aside in favor of Tom Clancy's Red Storm Rising, which has a lot of action too, but it's slower-paced than either of the preceding. I am also looking forward to John C. Wright's A Book of Feasts and Seasons, which Chris DiNote gave a good review of.
Over the next couple of weeks I'll be on the road quite a bit. Next Thursday is a low-level waste stakeholders conference at the Molasky Building in Vegas, and possibly a photo shoot that night. Then home Friday morning...only to turn around and head back to Vegas Sunday night for some VA appointments on Monday (8/19), and a packaging observation Tuesday morning (8/20) after which I'll come home and die. Or at least pass out for a couple of days. Next month will be even busier: a cardio appointment on 9/5, the NSSAB meeting on 9/11, and then I make the hajj to the holy city of Oak Ridge from 9/22-9/27.
One of these days I'll finish watching the first season of Fallout. I am currently in a replay of Fallout: New Vegas and despite my best intentions, I've trapped myself into the No Gods, No Masters track; I also tried to get out of Big MT without killing the Think Tank, but failed at that too.
