even keel

Amazingly, I pretty much bounced back from last weekend. My brain was a wee bit sluggish, so there were things that didn't get done, but I also didn't spend an entire day drooling in front of the TV.

There was not a 2 on the scale when we went to see the trainer. My weight and body fat were essentially flat from the previous weigh-in, and considering we spent three days eating at restaurants, I'll take it. This week has been a better food week and activity is higher than usual, so maybe I'll be down a little this week. As long as it's not up, I'll take it. Well, I guess I'll take it if it is up. I won't have much choice in the matter.

We saw Maleficent and Edge Of Tomorrow yesterday. I can highly recommend Maleficent. Really, really good movie. Edge Of Tomorrow was okay. It had an interesting premise, and it was cool to watch the main character develop from a guy scared out of his wits to a guy who jumped to his death without thinking about it. I could apologize for the spoiler, but that would be admitting that it was a spoiler, and if I do that, I'll spoil it. Yes, it's that kind of movie. :-)

I got an interesting phone call Tuesday. A head hunter saw my resume on Monster and called to see if I'd be interested in a part time 6-month contract with BMO Harris Bank. I agreed to pursue the matter and faxed some basic paperwork to her, and it's been radio silent ever since. They have to do a background check, which I assume takes some time. I'll follow up tomorrow. I'm a little annoyed, but this is the same bank that's been promising to send Eric a formal offer letter for two weeks, so they're apparently not known for being speedy.

Finally got some words in. Still no feedback from the contest, but it's not stopping progress on the work.

Laundry, dishes, litter scooping, blah blah blah.

That's about it for last week. This week is more of the same, except we leave Friday morning for the Kansas City Games. That's going to be a long-ass drive for a weekend, but we'll get to spend some time with friends, and we won't be working.

Have a good week, y'all.
