School and pizza

By -

Yesterday was, for all intents and purposes, Alu's and my last proper day off for quite a while. Tomorrow, we start a new work schedule so we can get off earlier and on our days off from work, we get to go to machining class. Well, I suppose since Thanksgiving and Christmas are coming up, we might have those off. I'm not sure what the class schedule will be in that regard.
Anyway, it's exciting and intimidating at the same time. I'm glad we didn't have to quit our jobs to fit class in, but I'm kind of disappointed that we didn't get to quit our jobs and have a bunch more free time. As it turns out, we'll have far less instead.
Hooray.
　
This morning, I weighed 178.6 lbs
　
Yesterday, I ate:
　
~ An apple nutri grain bar
~ Two bowls of cupcake-flavored fruit loops
~ A small dish of mac and cheese
~ A small dish of mashed potatoes
~ A few pieces of dominoes cheese pizza
~ Three garlic knots and a cinnamon twist
　
We ostensibly only allow ourselves to have pizza once a month, but our friends order it a bit more frequently than that and we're weak, so we just end up not being able to choose what kind of pizza we get, instead eating whatever friends have. We've been wanting to try a particular place for months now, but we haven't been able to.
So I guess I get to end on a downer today.
　
Take it easy!

Cooking shows

By -
I really like watching cooking shows. I'm not sure why, I don't plan on ever making the food they do, but there is something about watching skilled chefs make beautifully delicious looking food. Rok also enjoys these show so that works out really well for us. More recently we have started to watch more cooking channels on YouTube. We now watch Binging with Babish and Bon Appetit. I used to watch Hellthy JunkFood, but recently their content hasn't appealed to me as much as it used to. We also watch the Great British Bake Off on Netflix, but unfortunately Netflix doesn't offer many other cooking show options that I can find. I have been curious to look into Chef's table but we haven't gotten there yet. Today I weighed: 213 lbs Yesterday I ate: > A 22 oz Aloha Pineapple smoothie from Jamba Juice > ~1 1/2 cup of buttery noodles > A yogurt cup > Two peanut butter and honey sandwiches > A slice of white bread Yesterday I drank: 84 oz of water...

Tiny Cat Kidneys

By -
Our cat Monty has been getting over a kidney infection. As such, I had the privilege to learn how difficult it can be to make a cat swallow medication. We also had to learn to administer a subcutaneous fluid drip every few days to make sure he stays properly hydrated. Fortunately, he's been recovering well, drinking his water and eating his expensive, new medicated food. We took him into the vet today to make sure he's totally back to normal, but now we have to wait for a urine test to come back. At least we got his vaccinations and stuff renewed, so that's good. This morning, I weighed 195.8 Today I ate ~Three small chocolate covered muffin tops ~A pull apart twizzler ~Half a bowl of cheesy pasta from Noodles ~A cat mug of ice cream ~An Amy's pesto tortellini bowl ~Two slices of cheese pizza On an unrelated note, I've been cleaning up our kitchen and I'm hoping to keep it that way this time. I suspect a tidy kitchen will make cooking less of a cho...

On Nintendo

By -
This entry doesn't really fit with the others I've made so far, but today being their E3 presentation day, it seemed as good a time as any to offer a couple of stories and some thoughts on Nintendo. I believe I was six years old when Mario Kart 64 was released. Like any kid at the time, I wanted it quite a bit, and on Christmas, I was elated to find a copy of Mario Kart placed under the tree by my grandma. Unfortunately, as my grandma was a rather stereotypical grandma, she had mistakenly purchased a copy of Super Mario Kart for the SNES, a console I did not own. This isn't to say I blame my grandma; she was just trying to give me a gift I would like for Christmas. Seeing my disappointment, she decided to call Nintendo customer service and explain the situation. They were extremely helpful and understanding and they agreed to take my copy of Super Mario Kart and mail me a copy of Mario Kart 64 in exchange, along with a letter apologizing for the mix-up (which is a bit odd...
