Music Monday: Nerds Live Inside, Right?
Okay, I did get outside on Saturday. :) Odd how Sunday was one of the longest days this year (nearly 16 hours) and was December-like in its overcast-ness. Well, in December it would be full dark at 4:30 instead of 9:45. So there’s that. But there’s a reason people are calling it Juneuary. So I guess I’m not missing summer staying in the office all day…and now…

Thankful Thursday
[a not-always-weekly exercise in gratitude] Ten-minute professional shoulder massage :) Running across this writeup on fat & feminist women’s health experiences from 1996. Yes, it can be frustrating to know how much hasn’t changed, but it’s also validating…and a bit of a walk down memory lane, at least for me. Gorgeous greenery outside. The “Summer-SAD” is mostly given me more energy this year, and not full-out insomnia. Making…

Crunch mode continues at work. Saturday some friends came over, which threw me into a frenzy of cleaning. But hey — the public part of the house is clean now :)

Coffee at Lunch?
The “coffee drinkers are less likely to have diabetes” idea has popped up again, this time focused on those who have coffee with lunch. From the abstract, [T]he hazard ratio in the highest category of coffee consumption [3 cups (375 mL)/d] was 0.73 … in comparison with no coffee consumption. This inverse association was restricted to coffee consumed at lunchtime (hazard ratio: 0.66 …) when comparing >1.1 cup…

[a not-always-weekly exercise in gratitude] Surviving crunch mode so far. Hanging out with a friend tonight. Tomorrow is Friday. ;) I walked up the ramp to our seats at the stadium last weekend instead of taking the elevator. Vitty10 put 2 of my posts on her Fat Acceptance Greatest Hits ;)

FYI: About WordPress.com Ads
I do not directly profit from the Google Ads you may see on my site. In fact, WordPress prevents me from putting many standard advertisements on the site, which I’m fine with — I don’t pay the hosting. So, how do these ads appear? They are placed by WordPress, and are not shown to logged-into-WordPress readers. WordPress user accounts can be created for free (blog not required). …

“But you’re thin!”
A friend-of-a-friend mentioned on a social networking site that she’d bought a thick foam topper for her mattress. After trying it out she’s thinking she won’t wake up with her hips hurting tomorrow. I? Stopped myself from responding “But you’re thin!” Because the fact that she’s thin probably isn’t relevant. It’s been a few hours since I posted this. Initially I wanted to just record my “But…

It’s crunch time at work. This can mean I end up posting more just out of general must-keep-moving or that I will post less because of having less time to write / respond to comments. Of course, this also brought this song to mind: ;)
