Another Scorcher
The other day, after following some links around on various blogs, I came across Zooomr, a Flickr-esque photo-hosting site. While it doesn’t have all the bells and whistles of Flickr (my kingdom for an uploading utility!), it offers one thing Flickr doesn’t, but completely kicks ass: Geotagging. And when they went live with v2.0 last night, they made the already great geotagging setup even better. I also love their Smartsets, which pretty much stick anything I upload with a certain tag into its own set. The only thing I’m hoping for is that some enterprising Wordpress codegeek implements some sort of photoalbum plugin for Zoomr, like the Falbum setup I’m running on my site right now that pulls in my Flickr photostream.
Work actually went far better than expected yesterday, since all the computers were working when I got in at 10am and the only problem we seemed to be having was scanner and fax machine woes, but those we resolved around lunchtime. Plus, it was also remarkably slow for a Monday. Tonight I close, working with a RPh that I’ve never met before. And for those of you who enjoy hearing stories about my insane customers, we had a rather upset man in the store the other night who was damned near freaking out because we didn’t have his psych meds. This was in addition to the gentleman who argued with the RPh about the fact that his doctor only wrote his Xanax script for 15-day supplies rather than 1 month supplies and he was very worried about how he was going to run out of pills in 7 days, and his anxiety levels were through the roof because he was no longer on methodone and was having severe withdrawals. And lets not forget the Friday night phone call from the local Department of Corrections, wanting us to confirm what meds an inmate was supposed to be on, because they thought he was probably in need of some refills.
Eddie and I are putting some plans in motion for date night this weekend, since we both have Saturdays off for the next few weeks. I’m hoping to go to the drive-in, so long as they’ve got something good showing. It seems as though everything they’ve been running is kids movies, or a PG-13 movie with a kids movie, and neither of us has any desire to see Cars or RV. I think we’re going to try to see Superman and Click, but we’ll have to see what’s playing this weekend. With any luck we won’t get rained on, and it won’t be quite as sweltering outside (highs today are expected to be in the 90s).
I’ve stared logging everything that I eat in an effort to figure out exactly what it is that causes my tummy to go “blurghghghgh!!!111!” whenever I eat. I’m seriously tired of making Immodium-AD an extra food group in my life. I weighed myself the other day and discovered that I’m officially at the halfway point for my goal weight, with another 55lbs to go. The only thing that I’m dreading is the fact that my body doesn’t seem to want to go back to a normal shape, and so I fear that I’ll be left with nasty, doughy rolls of body that I don’t have any use for. It’s not like I’m losing and insane amount of weight in a short period of time, either, since I think it’s averaging about 1lb/week, it just seems like my body just doesn’t want to jump back into its original shape. I sort of feel like a sweater left on a coat hanger - the essential shape is there, but things are just hanging a bit lower than they should be. Nasty, I know.

Have you tried cutting out sweetener (aspartame) for a couple of weeks? - some people seem to be sensitive to the large amounts in soft drinks and diet foods, but it’s rare.

I’ve pretty much cut all soda out of my life (with the exception of maybe a can or two on the weekend, so I don’t think it’s that, and don’t eat much in terms of diet foods (mostly just low fat stuff that’s not sweetened to start with). I’m leaning towards starchy foods more than anything else.
