My Day So Far
Jan. 22nd, 2009 09:29 amWork (WAH)
So far so good. Nothing out of the ordinary, nothing's fallen apart (yet), and no client has come rushing in with twenty emails yelling 'OMG I NEED FILES FROM 2005 STAT' all in caps (yet). Can't complain. I'm taking my first break right now.
Weather
Rain. Not a lot of it, but it's consistent, and it looks like it'll be staying for the next few days. After a fluke of a few weeks where not only was it sunny but warm as well, looks like we're swinging back to the typical San Francisco weather, which is lots of rain. Which is actually a good thing, as that means more snow up near Tahoe and a lot less flammable dry grass later in the year. ;)
Health
I did good and worked for a full half-hour on the Wii Fit yesterday, go me! Yeah, I know, this isn't nearly as good as doing the actual exercise of running, doing weights and whatnot, but every little bit helps. Being that I haven't done squat in terms of exercise in years, it's a start, and a good one for me.
Neighborhood
Ooh, excitement galore! Diagonally across from us, they've got a ginormous crane and they're taking down old ventilation boxes and putting up shiny new ones. All while it rains! Also in other news, our apartment building is slowly but surely getting an overhaul. Our building is one that has wooden slat siding, and it looks a bit faded and worn. They just finished the other building in our complex and will eventually do ours, but at the moment they're working on the walkways and stairs. Our main stairway might be diverted at some point, too. Fun!
Other
I have my coffee,![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
emmalyon gave me a rather quirky birthday present (an antique map of southern New England circa somewheres around mid 1800's, I believe), and I've got my tunage going.
Sure, it's been a mundane birthday so far, but I have no problem with that. :)

[Food] Candy
Jan. 22nd, 2009 03:21 pmFirst things first--I have to say I'm quite proud of myself for continuing to be good with the candy and pastries...I do partake in the sugary sweetness every now and again, but nowhere near like I used to.
That said:
I had no idea Necco made these. I mean, I know the chocolate wafers and the regular multi-colored ones from my childhood, but the Smoothies are new to me.
I bought some of these as well as the chocolate ones (my favorites) last weekend from Tiddle E. Winks, a store in downtown Sonoma that sells all sorts of retro things. They also have a wall of candy, some of it new (but put into retro wrappers), some of it stuff from childhood--including candy cigarettes! I was good, though...the only other thing I got was a tooth-loosening Sugar Daddy.
Ah, the fuel of my youth... :p
