I looked around, I stood alone, I knew what I had to say...

I posted a pic on Facebook of me and my dad for Fathers Day and it's kind of an old pic where my hair was much longer than it currently is and also I weighed several pounds less than I currently do. I really miss my long hair and I also could stand to drop some lbs. So earlier today WHILE I WAS AT WORK MIND YOU, I put the two thoughts together and tried to Google "does losing weight make your hair grow" lol because who knows, bodies are weird. So this is what happened.



YOU STOP THAT GOOGLE. YOU STOP THAT RIGHT NOW.

I would just like to say FUCK YOU to Donald Sterling, and FUCK YEAH to Adam Silver. Peace out, bigotry. (Icon in celebration of this, because idiotic Kanye West quotes are always fun.)

So I managed to lose like 7 lbs recently. I think part of that was I was clearly retaining water because my ankles were swollen as fuhhhh. So I think being in cooler weather for a few days helped them calm their shit down and now they look normal again and I weigh x-7 now. We don't talk about what x is. (Was.) I was actually kinda worried that I'd injured my foot when I fell off the back porch when I left She Who Will Not Be Named's house, and that the swelling was related, but now I don't know if it is but I don't care because it's gone. I just have to remember to drink more water because I've been awful at that lately, so my body won't retain every last drop out of desperation. This means shoes actually fit me now, hurray!

I went into work for a few minutes today (I scheduled today off because I knew my plane landed late) to get my biometric screening done as part of the conditions for the "wellness rate" of health insurance. The other condition is to be a non-smoker. I don't know how they prove that - they vaguely mentioned testing, and I think that's horribly intrusive to test someone just for nicotine usage - but I'm glad I don't have to worry about it and it actually makes me feel kind of bad for smokers. I wonder if anyone actually does lie about that. (It's actually no tobacco use so chewing and e-cigs are included in that.) Anyway my #s look really good, which is probably because I inadvertently fasted for like 13 hours lol. Thanks, air travel! That was how I found out about the weight loss, and I was in such disbelief that I actually went to Publix and got on their scale and it said just about the same thing. Wow! (I was going to go to Publix anyway, but the one near my new apartment doesn't have a scale - WHAT!? So I went to the one closer to work which was a little out of the way, haha.)

The other thing I did today was get my internet fixed. It went out sometime on Thursday and when I got back last night it was still off. I'd already made an appointment for a tech to come sometime today. The same guy came out who fixed it last time... when I recognized him, he joked that he disconnected it on purpose to have an excuse to come back out haha. If it happens again I might believe him... lol.

I'm going to drink beer now because I'm still on vacation, suckaz.

iz mah birfday

I got more accounts at work. Yay!

I also got to go to the Florida State Fair. Yay again!

That's basically all that's happened in the last 12 days, lol. Been working a lot and watching hockey a lot etc etc.

Kbyeeeeeee.

Brian was yammering about his chainmaille stuff and the following ensued:

Traci: /me nods and smiles
Brian: /me doesn'
Brian: t like cutting rings.
Traci: /me still thinks whoever put the apostrophe next to the enter key needs to get bitch slapped
Brian: /me agrees
Brian: /me decides to stop using /me
Traci: /me thinks we should just keep talking like this the whole time
Traci: /me laughs verily

(We were both typing those last couple things at the same time lol)

Edit: /me labeled this wrong so /me fixed it. =P

This is how I feel about my internet right now:



If I wasn't leaving for NY in 3 days (!!! :D) I would totally call Brighthouse and make them trudge their asses over here and give me a shiny new intarwebs but nope, don't have time for that...

I did that thing where I get bored with my colors and backgrounds so I pick new ones and they look pretty. Woot.
