Really annoyed that BMI is back up to Morbidly Obese. I thought I had beaten that goal. Happiness isn't a number on the scale, but progress is a great motivator.

I didn't get the post done last night as I closed the service desk and it was close to 10 by the time I got home and after baking a pork loin it would have just been a “Mark Whines About Work” Post. And I worked earlier today than I normally do so I was trying to get to bed. It was still well after midnight by the time I fell asleep. Which sucked because I had set my alarms for the six o'clock hour. I worked 9 to 6 today and again I didn't want to wake up at the usual 8am and run out the door to get to work. But it was still pretty close to 7 by the time I got up. I just barely had time to cook breakfast before heading out for work. I was going to bake chicken for lunch, but didn't have time.

I was disappointed to see that I was working the desk the entire day today. The weather outside was the perfect weather that I love. It's a bit cooler than Mom prefers, but I love it cool and cloudy.

Since I didn't take time to prepare lunch before work I decided to have Cottage Cheese and Jalapeno Cheddar Sausages.

Not much happened at work. I was in the service desk for most of the day. There were times that it did get really busy. It was kind of those strange moments when it sounded like somebody had a hand on the volume knob and they were jerking it up and down. 

After work I was SERIOUSLY craving pickles. I was disappointed to see that the deli no longer sells the big single pickles. And didn't want to pick up a jar of pickles to snack on. Thankfully I did find a snack bag in the produce department that had sliced pickle chips. 

I didn't get to mention it yesterday, but Mom sent me a message that the garage fridge had gone out so she had to shove a lot of the meat that was in that freezer into the kitchen freezer and thankfully it did fit thanks to Grandma's garage freezer across the street. It would have been really disappointing to lose that much food. But a bit of it didn't fit into either of the freezers so Mom cooked some of the chicken for dinner tonight. She was unsure about cooking the chicken from frozen so she cooked it at a lower temperature for longer than I would have. She also had baked it uncovered. So unfortunately it did turn out a bit dry. Not to complain about dinner that was prepared for me.
