All She Wants To Do Is Sleep
I am home for today, as in located in the town where I own a house, but I am spending the entire day working. Did manage to hit the gym first thing, between 7 am literature revisions and 9 am staff meetings. Holiday? Right. That's for people who aren't two weeks out from an election.
I am just so tired. Maybe it's because I woke up at 4 am on Monday to hit the road by 5 to be at meetings by 7:30 and then worked late (cause there is nothing other than working late in our line of work) and then had early meetings on Tuesday then drove home and didn't make it home till after 8 pm because people kept calling me needing direction/assistance/other so finally I just stopped at a Turnpike stop to deal with it all instead of talking while driving.
Food is okay, I guess. Not much time to think about it. My body looks a bit strange to me... a tiny bit of post-campaign weight gain lingering from the last one, but Pilates + treadmill + weight lifting muscle under it and I definitely do not look skinny, but I can't complain. Two weeks out from an election is not a time when one thinks about one's appearance, other than to make sure that one looks professional, and puts on enough make-up that the nurses do not confuse one with a zombie or a vampire.
I am cooking dinner tonight, which will be nice. I need to think about something other than the campaign for twenty seconds.

Happy 4th April! Sorry you are so busy! I have a question regarding the food scales you use. I need to buy one but am not sure which one to get. Any recommendations? I know you and MR have been doing CRON quite a long time and I thought you probably know the pros and cons of different scales.
Thanks so much,
AG

Wow. I don't know how you do it, April! Are you actually going to get that holiday in August that you spoke of a while back? You NEED it! JD :-)

April,
Sweetie, you gotta get some rest! You're going to collapse from exhaustion the way you're going. I know the work you do is important, but you're important, too!
Arile, since April is so busy, I'll jump in here and tell you what I use. It's an adorable little scale made by Escali:

It's accurate to the gram, has a tare feature and comes in a range of colors. Mine is lime green. I bought it at Target for about $25. You can, too. Just go to www.target.com and search for Escali primo. I love mine and I'd recommend it to anyone looking for a good, cheap scale.
Hope this helps.

Happy Fourth. Hope you made something yummy. And hope you got some rest. I'm being awoken at 4:00 a.m. by my neighbors and I know what it's doing to me, so I can't imagine how you do so much.
Hope you survive the election without becoming a vampire.

Arile - I also use the Escali Primo scale that Robin mentioned - mine is blue! I've been using it everyday for almost a year now on the same set of batteries. It's easy to use and cute!
