Out to pasture

While having these 3 days off to readjust my body clock has been a great mercy (and I think many pleasant thoughts at my boss for this chance to vegetate -- I mean the chance to catch up on my Tivo, with a paso doble set to "Pour Some Sugar on Me" by Def Leppard, or the Monday Night Football theme for the paso -- hee!) I think I really need to go back to work tomorrow, because I have been eating everything in sight! I am going to turn into a BLIMP!

Now I know why I am grazing like a demented llama (I am frustrated and angry about this whole Hong Kong mess) but knowing and stopping are two different things, so I am rapidly wiping out the weight loss which occurred in HK. Plus, I am not hiking up and down 45 degree streets to get anywhere -- NYC is completely flat in contrast.

Ah well, tomorrow is another day, one in which I will be far, far away from my kitchen cupboards. Hooray! Plus, I think it is time to get reacquainted with the gym, now that I've bought a new pair of sneakers to replace the ones which got destroyed by Typhoon Raccoon.

And in other cheerful news, they really take their paperfolding seriously in Asia. Check out Pikachu and Eeyore! And also, look closely at the watermelon in the snapshot underneath Eeyore. Wow!

Right now, I'm rotting what's left of my brain by watching more Tivo: Women's Murder Club, based upon a series by my friend Margaret's favorite author, James Patterson. Heh.

Later today, I'm off to Princeton to sit through a timeshare spiel for my free 5-day cruise to Bermuda. Like I said, 3 hours in exchange for 5 days (and nights)? I'll do it. Of course, I should at least UNPACK my clothes before I leave...um, I should also TAKE A SHOWER before I leave...it's so complicated being a slacker. ;-P
