Hey, Grim Reaper lay off 2016. Alright.
Carrie Fisher almost became one with the Force.
RIP George Michael.

Freakin' sprained ankle but at least my daughter is ok.
I just have to lay around for the next few days guess it's good I have off. Time to catch up on posting I suppose.

Glad nothing is broken. Now, on to more important matters...
...can you sue anyone for pain and suffering?

Just myself but I'm broke so I won't get anything from that deadbeat!
Back at WHOI. I'm thinking I should have grabbed a chunk of that 4-cheese mac and cheese before I took off
But, sadly, I can't really afford the extra carbage.
I have officially kicked out my FitBit. I think that little device was lying to me
I have gained 10 pounds since November, yet according to its calorie counter I have burned more than I ate that whole time
Somehow some calculation is awry
Or I'm sleep eating
Or just plainly insane
Windy tonight in the Hole
Warmer than it has been though. Close to 50 deg F
Quiet week for me. No double shifts until Saturday
Although that will not be a fun day 12-8 am sat at WHOI. 4pm-8am through NYE at the hospital. Guess what the hospital is full of on NYE? I'll give you a hint: It's not staph infections.....

I don't think those things work!

Me neither. It certainly didn't help me lose weight.

We hadn't real winter with snow and long periods of freezing temperatures yet this year, so maybe not many will spawn this spring...

Guess: they are just programmed to record activity times and use the estimated loss and gain of calories according to some kind of standardized values. If you don't match those standardized values - either by metabolic differences (such as those that kick in after periods of under-nutrition, sleep deprivation, and many others). Also, are you feeding it a sample of each food you eat or does it just guesses from the size of portion? Terribly unreliable method as everyone can cook in a slightly different way. Not to mention that different metabolism can save more of the same portion than another one.
Still, you could use it to record time, note the differences it makes comparing to reality and then calculate corrections yourself. If you would want to. I know I wouldn't bother with that extra pointless work.

I had my fitbit set to "sensitive" for sleep recording and couldn't sleep at all. Every little thing bothered me and I spent the night tossing and turning.
I set it to "normal" a couple of nights ago. I've been going to sleep around 9 or 10, not waking up at 3 am like usual, but waking spontaneously around 6 or 7 in the same position that I was in when I drifted off.
I am now convinced that the fitbit actually controls sleep.

I'll sure miss Carrie Fisher - not because of the character she played, but because of her own character: courageous, honest, self-deprecating. Her honesty about mental illness broke down a lot of the barriers of silence regarding such things.

she was a regular topic at my medication group. So many people were surprised to hear she dealt with mental health issues. But they were happy to know that one of their greatest heroes lived with the same struggles they did, it made them feel less alone.

What a helluva thing to wake up to ....
Statistics aren't an indication of malice, but 2016 sure seems like it has become self-aware and thirsty for souls.

I'm thinking I'll just start a simple food journal and eat >2000 calories a day no matter what I exercise
Warmer than it has been though. Close to 50 deg FWe are near 70 this morning. And there is a plethora of fog.
Looking at the jet stream it seems like we are getting your sloppy seconds.
Happy birthday, Sharoth!I am clone # 28, but I will relay it to the original Sharoth when we bring him back.

Until we learn later that 2016 was indeed self-aware, but its death toll was really a sign of mercy, saving the worthy from much worse fate awaiting the rest of us all in the near future...
Now I am sad for Gary (the dog).
In other bloodthirsty 2016 news
Richard Adams passed away today
My heart has joined the Thousand, for my friend has stopped running today.
I actually wrote something related to this sentiment on fb two weeks ago...
And then 2016 decide to up its ante with George Michael, Carrie Fisher, and others.

Pizza.
Is the answer ever "not to pizza"?

Sometimes but rarely. :-)

It is theoretically possible, but I have yet to see an instance of it.

>>>Extends his middle talon to 2016 and the personification of death<<<
George Michaels, Carrie Fisher, and now Richard Adams, author of Watership Down. I'm tired of looking at both of you.
Get outta here.
On the brighter side, Episode VIII finished filming sometime around July of this year. But, it leaves Episode IX in limbo. Will they replace Leia or continue with a new actress or even CGI?

I never knew she had a French bulldog. He looks a lot like my Wilbur. The same tongue!
Well, picked up an extra shift tomorrow. Going to be an interesting switchover, running from hospital to institute.
***
Still, that brings me up to roughly a full compliment of shifts this pay period at the hospital, in addition to my full-time gig at WHOI. Plus holiday pay for the two holidays. Score!
