- I had a whole 9/13 bullets written for yesterday then bailed on it because I got busy. Between making dinner, running errands, talking to insurance companies, and going to a movie, the day got away from me.
- Elliot’s car got backed into while he was parked at a friend’s house so we’ve been dealing with that guy’s company. This morning, I’m taking it to a body shop for them to assess the damage and schedule work. It’s not terrible but it is something we have to take care of obviously. It’s always something, you know.
- Yesterday I did 9 miles on the indoor cycle and it was a good ride. I’m just trying to keep up with it. I find I am a lot hungrier when I cycle though, which is weird. But as noted in previous posts this week, we have sort of adjusted when we eat and we aren’t drinking during the week. This changes how hungry I am during the day BUT makes it a lot easier not to snack at night. When we drink, I always want to eat. Cutting off food before 6 pm has really improved my sleep and I am so thankful!
- We finished the first season of Reacher last night and a few thoughts: it certainly moves quickly with not too much filler, I love how it has depictions of traditional masculinity, I don’t love how it has so many characters to keep track of, I feel like the story was unique enough, with some ideas taken from other things, such as Beverly Hills Cop 3 (the money aspect is a bit too similar.) I think the guy who plays the main character is good, though lacking in some personality, which I realize IS one of his traits. We’ll probably begin season 2 and see how it goes. We still have a few Oscar movies to get in before the award show in early March so those take precedence.
- Today should be good: car appointment, probably lunch, finally get to drink beer (1), Dakota has a school dance. Tomorrow we have taking kids to work, a soccer game, taking one to a birthday party and attending another. It’ll be busy but fun! TGIF, y’all.

When I began bicycle commuting regularly, I remember a notable increase in appetite.
Good luck with the body shop.
