random stuff I'm done doing

serynLet's see. I finished another Kathleen Nance book, Spellbound. I liked the plot better than most romances because it wasn't just lack of communication causing problems that aren't there. But admittedly I've had more than enough New Orleans from these books. They're pre-Katrina, so they're not docbrite-level offensively New Orleans, but djinn who can transport themselves anywhere in the world choosing to live in a hellhole? Non-sensical.
New Orleans is one of my least favorite places in the country because of how third world it seems. I get really tired of books that talk it up without mentioning the extreme poverty, corruption, disastrous weather, crowds, intolerance and inequality, crime, drinking and drug use. I don't buy post-Katrina books set in NO, but I think I might have to revise that to include all NO books.
I've been forgetting which day it is all week. It's caused some unexpected issues because I count out all the vitamins and stuff in advance and just take the ones in today's jar. But when I look at the jar and it's empty I don't take anything. So Tuesday when I thought it was Wednesday meant that Wednesday when I thought it was Wednesday... And Thursday when I thought it was Wednesday... I'm starting to feel less myself. My doctor thinks this vitamin stuff is a placebo. But I'm happy taking a multivitamin and some extra calcium as a placebo if it makes me feel better. There's about a three day lag, which made the cause of improvement difficult to identify and I'm surely starting to feel pathetic.
I really like the new shoes I got 2 weeks ago. They were under $50 and are perfectly suited to what I wanted. (They're really stiff in the ankles.)
I went to the gym and just biked for 2.5 miles. Then I came home. 11 minutes. I should have done more but I wasn't feeling right. When I sat down, I sucked down both glasses of water in under 5 minutes. That's 1.5 quarts of water. Obviously dehydrated from salty Chinese food for dinner last night.
