Weather

I wish this weather would make up its mind. Either be warm or cold. I'm catching a cold because of Mother Nature's fickle nature. I've been sneezing for the past two days and I have a sore throat. And I think my tiredness that I will explain more about in the next paragraph has something to do with getting sick. I'm doubling up on the Vitamin C.

The Olympics will be over after tonight and I will finally be able to get back to a routine for working out. I took these last two days off from the diet and exercise thing. Yesterday, I worked out for a half an hour and just felt really tired afterward, so I decided to rest up for the rest of the weekend and eat more.

I now have the Tennis Channel on my satellite dish. I didn't know there was such a thing. But I watched it some this morning. Maybe it will inspire me to work out more if I keep seeing skinny Maria Sharipova on tv.

Mom got me a pasta strainer and I got it in the mail yesterday. I've been wanting one like this ever since Mom took hers with her when she moved out. It's plastic and you hold it up against the pan and pour the pasta water through slots in the strainer. I think this one is even better than Mom's. It's easier to clean and it's stronger. Mom also ordered me a potato ricer with her prepaid Mastercard. I paid her back for that purchase. I've wanted a ricer for years ever since Martha Stewart told us viewers that you could have no-lump mashed potatoes by using it. Walmart never had them, but Mom found them on Target's website.
