The Time Machine backup device arrived yesterday. Tom backed up his computer and next comes mine but I’ll do it when I go to sleep. What a convenient way to back things up, though! It’s so easy to find things and is set up similar to Facebook’s time machine. So you can search for things by name or within a set time frame. It automatically backs up every hour so there’s nothing to do. It does it all on its own.

Today they’re having a meeting and also a raffle where Tom works where if you wear green you get an extra entry in the raffle. Don’t know what it’s for or what the meeting’s about, but I sure hope the meeting isn’t anything bad!

Got a sympathy card from Eileen. That was nice of her. She’s always been really big on sending cards.

The rat has been eating less and fidgeting more around his cage. Where he was mostly nocturnal, now he’s up most of the day when I am.

The CoQ10 doesn’t seem to be helping with my own weight, so I obviously don’t have the kind of deficiency Tom has. I’m going to pig out over the weekend, as usual, then come Monday I will decide what I want to put up with more – being fat or being hungry. It’s just that I loved not being hungry when I wasn’t dieting and I know it’s pointless to try and lose weight that simply doesn’t want to come off and that would only come right back on. Most older people are heavy because that’s how they’re supposed to be. I just don’t want to keep wasting time trying to be something I can never be again. So many people spend years on diets just to still be fat and I don’t want to be one of them.

Later…

So much for hoping for a peaceful day in the country. No saws buzzing, but plenty of loud vehicles and barking instead. I can’t wait to get away from this guy and his mutts! Someone else came in on a motorcycle that not only didn’t sound like Jesse’s but that couldn’t have been him because the dogs kept on going crazy after they pulled in.
