pants to match

I have made it without incident to the parents. The flight landed early and then bus arrived early. My father picked me up after dropping my mother off for her cardio rehab, so we managed a quick grocery store run before we had to go pick her up. My father is now taking a walk, which sounded good to me - so much sitting today! - but I'm just too fucking tired. I'm afraid to lie down as it's not quite 5pm here. I got about 2 hours of sleep last night and I dozed for maybe an hour on the plane. Early to bed tonight!

Only one more new ep each of Brokenwood Mysteries and I, Jack Wright to go! Woe. I still can't decicde who the killer is in I, Jack Wright. We're being led to believe it's the third wife because her interviews are clearly taking place in prison. But that's got to be a red herring, right? I'm leaning towards the granddaughter, but then again they do seem to be setting us up to believe that. I can't wait for the final ep! I started watching Suspects. Acorn only has the first two series but BritBox has all five so I'm going to have to switch over.

Got an email from book co-editor on Wednesday that the chapter proofs will be coming at the end of the week (not) or the beginning of this week. And there will be a very tight turnaround for corrections. Which is terrible timing as I fly out early Wednesday morning for two weeks with the fam. Of course, I'm also not really expecting the proofs will show up anytime soon. The pub date listed on the web site is still November, so I don't see what the rush is?

Since seeing the nutritionist a week and a half ago, I've changed how I'm eating. Which is somewhat difficult. It's *really* hard getting 88 grams of protein into 3.5 meals when your stomach is not very big and when you're trying to get it all out of real food and not protein bars or powders. Not to mention the stupid plate thing. And I went to a "support group" session (really more of a webinar) last week about nutrients and discovered that I'm not getting enough iron and calcium. And that I need to rearrange the order in which I'm taking my multivitamins and calcium. All of which is to say that eating is such a chore. I'd live on Built Puffs and salad if I could. Alas.

I'm almost done with My Life is Murder. I think I've got 4 eps left but after binge watching, I needed a break.

There are still new eps of Brokenwood Mysteries and I, Jack Wright dropping every week, but there are only 2 or 3 more of each to come. *sad face*

I started Harry Wild last night.

My friend S recommended something, whose name escapes me but I did get added to my watchlist on whichever of the 2 services it's on.

I'm contemplating getting Netflix (again, though it's been several years). I'm a little leery of the ads but otoh, with ads is $7/mo and without ads is $17/mo. I suspect ads will win out, if I do actually get around to it.

Nothing very exciting at all at work. We're in exams now - one more week to go - so it's really quiet. I do need to sit down and figure out how many hours of vacation time I have versus how many work hours I'll be visiting the family. I definitely don't have enough vacation hours so I'll have to work some. But it requires math. Ugh.

I had a ZipCar adventure the other day as I went to see the nutritionist. The person before more was more than 10 minutes late returning the car. And then Google gave me the most round about route to the freeway. (I live between 2 freeway entrances, neither of which is straightforward to get to.) But despite that I was still a few minutes early. And I had time for a brief stop at the grocery store on the way home.

After seeing the nutritionist, I need to do more math. She gave me some guidelines for calories, protein, and carbs per day. And once again I got that stupid healthy fill your plate/portion plate diagram. Two different ones, even, though they have the same info. Gah.
