DAY 319

DAY 79

Today is Cyber Monday. Ebay sellers, you are getting greedy.

DAY 318

DAY 78

As much as I try to patronize small, local, family-owned businesses, here are the results of my Small Bussiness Saturday shopping attempts.

1)I get off work at 6 AM. McDonalds has a really great offer on b'fast sandwiches and I get a reward for my Starbucks purchases, so I go to those places. 'cause they're also on my way home.

3)I contact at least six EBay sellers, asking if they will cut me a break for multiple purchases. The only one who will doesn't have what I REALLY want. The others either refuse or don't bother acknowledging my e-mails.

4)Pizza Boli's has a good deal on large pizzas. I get one. It doesn't taste as good as Domino's.

DAY 310

DAY 80

Mmmmm, bergamot: http://www.angelfire.com/ms/OzConnection/UsesOfOils.html
I never realized it had so many uses, or that it was actually a fruit or fruitlike thing. Earl Grey is probably my favourite tea, but some peeps hate it. One evening Catherine and I were having dinner and we ordered tea afterwards. The server asked if we had any had any preference. Catherine said "anything but Earl Grey."

Wow, more than 300 days without starving.

DAY 300

WEEK 45

WEEK TEN

Weather chilly, wet in the middle of the week, better at the beginning and end. Favourable midterm election results and an almost unnoticed (at least by me) World Series. Gas prices up a little, stocks up a good bit more. Still feeling tired, in pain, but no worse, maybe better.

DAY 294

DAY 64

The KFC/Taco Bell on New York Avenue, NE. A new low in dining experiences.

THIS JUST IN

Scientists have made a discovery which may lead to an understanding of all infections: http://news.gather.com/viewArticle.action?articleId=281474978658067

My experience with goldenseal root is that it seems to knock out a lot of infections even after they've invaded my cells.

DAY 293

DAY 63

Went to a book-signing/sales party yesterday. Was flattered that no one tried to sell me an anti-aging package.

BALANCING ACT
