Time taken off from work to help with Mom after her surgery: One week
Size of Mom's ovarian cyst: About the size of a grapefruit or a kaiser roll
Do I have a picture of it? Yes, but not sharing online due to disgusting contents.
Weight gained since Jan 1: Four and a half pounds
Where it came from: apparently fat particles fly through the air and attach themselves to me. Also, possibly fast food dependency.
Progress on knitting projects: an inch and a half into a pair of socks, a foot of garter-stripe scarf, a fully formed pattern in my head but a moderate determination to finish outstanding WIPs (and one promised gift!) before I start anything new. Even a Knit-a-long.
Yarn purchases: Two balls of ribbon yarn at dollar store
Yarn I wanted to purchase: More than you can possibly imagine, unless you knit, then yes, THAT much.
Clothes ruined during painting Z's house: one pair jeans, one t-shirt, one bra. Underwear and socks shockingly unscathed.
Has he moved in yet? No.
Speculative date of his moving in: Jan 20
Actual date: May be February at this rate
Days late on car payment: two
Days until I get paid: one
Days until Dad's birthday: two
Gift ideas: zero
Holiday photos uploaded to computer: 69
Times I laughed at that: once
Months I've been low on black ink: two, and I can still just squeak out my work papers every cycle anyway. My faxes are still, apparently, legible.
Resolutions partially accomplished: I am re-enrolling in school this week. With a semester's worth of credits left to earn before my bachelor's, it's stupid to not continue.
Number of cavities at Kid's dental checkup: zero
How proud am I of him? Immeasurable
Days missed using Brain Age 2: one, and seeing the little pixel-doctor's frown of disappointment was hilariously encouraging.
Brain Age, according to the software: 28
Actual Age: 30
Desire to refer to myself as 28: Meh.
Old friends contacting me through Facebook: one
Happy to see this person? HELL, yes. :)
Shock at seeing measurements for bridesmaid dress: None
Still want to change them? Yep. They're kinda huge.
Plans for diet/exercise? None yet
How to lose weight then? Sheer force of will, and/or reliance on stomach viruses. (totally kidding)
How much of this post is serious? Enough.
