Trying to not get too caught up with the daily fluctuations, but the weight is getting pretty close to the “morbid obese” level again.

This morning after breakfast I put a pork steak in the oven for lunch. Mom was working on cleaning the kitchen and I thought I'd be clever and stay out of her way so after the pork steak was done baking I turned off the oven and waited while she cleaned the kitchen as I kind of felt bad that I was cooking while she was trying to clean. She brushed it off, but I still felt bad for making a mess while she was cleaning up a mess. The thing is that after the steak was done baking I had just left it in the hot oven for a while. So yeah, it was quite cooked for lunch. I joked that I was having Pork Steak Jerky for lunch.

Today at work it was busy enough that it was hard to take any notes, not SWARMED busy. But fairly active.

The weather outside today was absolutely beautiful. I don't know how warm it was, but I don't think that it got much higher than 75 (24 C) and it was a heavy cloud cover. This is my favorite type of weather. It was a bit muggy, but with the cool breeze keeping air moving was just the icing on top.

I overheard some coworkers talking about a nearby old hotel that was being remodeled into apartments. That building has been known as a pretty messed up building. I do wish them well on that project. But the prices that they were saying for the apartments just seemed ridiculous to me. They were talking about $900+/month for a studio apartment and over $1,500+/month for a two bedroom apartment. Out of curiosity I thought I'd checkout the website of that building, but they aren't listing any of the prices on their site and the floor plans look pretty small. I guess that they'd be alright bachelor pads. But I am really, really not interested in living in an apartment.

If after living here with Mom for the year or so and God's plan is for me to rent another home I would really rather prefer if it were a stand alone single home. I've had it with sharing floors, ceilings, walls, etc. with other people. When I come home I want to come home to my home without having to worry that I'm stomping too hard on a second story floor, or if I drop something I don't want to worry if I bothered a neighbor. Or worry about if the person on the other side of a wall had decided that the cannabis laws really shouldn't apply to them.

When I got home Mom offered another pork steak. It was kind of funny to have pork steak for lunch, and then again for dinner. But I'll never turn down an offered meal. Some people need to be reminded that food is fuel. But I don't have a problem eating the same thing over, and over. That's actually kind of the plan I've been trying to work towards.

When I got to writing out the blog I was surprised to see that I didn't update any of the spreadsheets this morning so I am glad that I got this all written out this evening. But the end is a bit rushed and I didn't get a chance to go over it to make sure that it all makes sense.
