Edubabble and other Blither

The universe is conspiring against me.

I've cut out my morning toast, opting for whole grain cereal only. Tripper and I are taking salads for lunch.

I've been treadmilling fairly faithfully. Now my knees are bothering me, which makes exercise a little difficult. Extra weight can't be helping, of course, but not being able to exercise as much won't help that. Thirty years of walking incorrectly due to flat feet-- according to the internet-- can cause knee pain. Soooo....

The middle school and high school are competing against each other with a step-contest, each team member keeping track of her steps each day using a pedometer. I have one, but the battery is dead, so I decided to get a new one, seeing that a new battery was as much as a new pedometer. When I got my new pedometer, the battery was dead.

I thought perhaps I'd put the new battery in the old pedometer to see if the problem was the battery in the new pedometer or the pedometer itself. Makes sense. Worth a shot. While attempting to do this, I lost hold of the little battery bastard. It flung itself-- in slow motion, I swear-- into the toilet this morning.

Tonight I finished the ice cream in the freezer. That Breyer bitch won't have Chrissy Snow to kick around any longer.
