Why Is Famous Hat Fat? Give Five Reasons

 

Yesterday I went to a committee meeting; the committee is one I was on for a term of three years, then I re-upped because nobody else would do it, but I didn't re-up this most recent election. And yet here I am, because the Congress wants representation when they are discussing the ARTs. I asked about being a lower pay grade than the other people in the FART, and if people in that situation would be bumped up, but I got the very unsatisfactory answer that those with lower pay grades would do the lower tasks in the FART. I guess the college HR person didn't know who she was messing with, because I have connections. We'll see what happens... stay tuned.

Yesterday I also filled out a packet from a weight loss program that my doctor referred me to, and I swear every question was like, "Why are you fat? Give five reasons. What's keeping you fat? Give five reasons. What's the thinnest you've ever been, and why did you get fat again? Why don't you exercise, you lazy bum? Give five reasons." I didn't even know what to say to that, since I do get quite a bit of exercise. Of course, my doctor also wants to put me on one of these trendy new drugs that make you lose sixty pounds without doing anything, but I feel like there has to be a catch, like in ten years they'll find out it gives you gout or something, so I'm leery. Though believe me, it is tempting.

My hat looked like it was having the same sort of day.

It just sort of landed that way when I took it off. It looks like it has had about enough of this s--t.

Today I had a quiet day working from home, and it was very cold out so I prayed the rosary while walking inside at lunch and only ventured out to pray a Divine Mercy chaplet during my afternoon break. Then Travalon and I went to Mariner's for dinner, which turned out to be very cheap in the present because we had paid for it in the past by buying gift certificates, so our three-course dinners were like $2.75 plus tip. I had a salad with candied pecans, dried cherries, and blue cheese, and crab-stuffed salmon, while Travalon had clam chowder and walleye, and we both had key lime pie. So good! Then we came home and watched The Wild Robot, an animated film that seemed too deep to be a kid's movie. It's been nominated for an Oscar, and I can see why - the animation is beautiful, and the plot dealt with themes like motherhood, death, and belonging. I enjoyed it, and Travalon did too, although I think he slept through a lot of it. I had wanted to see it in the theaters this past summer, but we never got around to going, and now we can watch it for free on the channel Travalon watches soccer on. Good to know it has movies too.
