In the past few days:

I have started walking around Lake Merritt after work again. Every day this week, in fact! I mapped the route using Gmaps Pedometer and discovered that it's 4.5 miles. And it hurts. Hopefully it will hurt less as time goes on.

I called my family last night, to check up on how post-wedding life was going, and my niece remembered who I was and spoke (aka, chattered unintelligably) at me for a few minutes. My heart melted.

I cooked enough on Sunday and Monday that I have not had to buy any lunch or dinner this week. Having filled up my tank last week, this means I haven't handed over any money to anyone else all week. I like this.

Speaking of gas, it's at $3/gallon everywhere! I am conflicted: while I am dismayed at the effect on my checking account, I can only count it as good if it keeps more people off the road.

I am ready for spring to be here, like, now. I am sad that the rain will return this weekend.

I am tired of people flaking on me. Tired tired tired.

After 3 years, my computer has taken to downloading updates on its own and trying to restart itself every time I turn it on. This is getting a little old. I just figured out how to change that (not sure how it was changed in the first place. argh).

Anyone up for seeing V for Vendetta at the Parkway next week? Or, better yet, Raiders of the Lost Ark at 9:15 p.m. next Thursday?? I missed seeing this in the theater when it debuted.
