It's Satisfaction, Enormous Satisfaction

229 as of this morning. Technically, down 6 from Friday morning.

A friend and I have a little wager going, with 10 lb milestones, and weigh-ins on Mondays. Either I'm 60% of the way to my first milestone, or I've just set the baseline.

Probably should verify that, given the stakes. :-)

Had a grand time with L and her girls yesterday, right up to the point she felt the need to rush home because she thought my ex was headed over at 6:00. I kept telling L that she didn't need to rush (I knew that my ex would call first, since she knew that L & the girls were over at my house), but to no avail. We went swimming (first time for me this season), and I got a mild burn in some of the less-well-sunscreeened areas, but overall, a good time by all.

But you knew that couldn't be the end of the story, right? In the course of conversation yesterday, L kinda hinted that things might not be all that great with her live-in, not-remarried-but-probably-having-sex, ex-husband. And in much the way a drowning man grasps at a line, my brain's latched onto that. Just not sure how to bring it up and test the water.

And just to prove that the universe has a quite perverse sense of humor, just as this new hope with L shows up, things have been inching ever so slightly forward with J (the woman I wrote about several posts ago, not my male friend and fellow MediFaster J).

Not content with my love life, the universe decided to have a little additional appliance fun. The microwave doesn't work now. I went to heat some water for bullion Saturday, and heard a "pop". The water stayed tepid even after 10 minutes in the 'wave. I think I'll be happier overall just replacing the damn thing (about $300 for a same-brand, slightly more capacious model) than calling out a repair tech, and having to make the same kind of choice I just made with the fridge.

Captain Algorithm, out.
