But I usually do look back and see what was up.
As usual, there is a lot of Guster. 13 years ago today I posted a video from a Chicago radio station website of. Guster singing Go Cubs Go with Jeff. Garlin. Adorable.
This time last year Jess had bought me a print of a webzine about Laika the Cosmonaut space dog. Which wrecked me and made me cry then, and makes me cry still. I am not sure where I unpacked it when I got home last year, from my mom's... it has to be in my bedroom somewhere.
In 2019, I had to have an "emergency" head shot taken for my college web magazine. I thought it was a cute picture so I posted it, and it was my profile picture for quite a while.
And I noticed.
How much weight I had in my face at the time. It's really is a cute picture with myy wash and wear hair that isn't styled, a scarf I happened to have at my desk, the white top that normally I'd never wear to the office because I always get food on my white tops. It's totally me. But that face.
What a difference.
I think in 2019 I must have weighed at least 230. I had lost some weight since moving to the DC area, and then the pandemic hit and slowed my progress. During Covid I got down to 195 or so but that was from being sick and in the hospital. Went back up to like 220 after and was there for a very long time.
But I can say, looking at pictures from the past, there's a difference.
Here's another, of my sister and me, and I think the kids were small, and cute, and I have a picture of them across the table from us. This was at a restaurant in Newburyport, I'll say 15+ years back. It's weird to look at pictures and say wow, that was a different thing/face/body/whatever.
My friend Chris told me when he looks at his Facebook Memories, he says "who is that fat bastard? oh, that's me." I know exactly what he means, only I'm cuter.
Today was a pretty good day. I didn't have any meetings until 1pm, so I got to catch up on helpdesk tickets, email clients and say "are you all set with this, I have not heard from you since February..." that kind of thing.
I have a spreadsheet that I'm supposed to bury my face in and pay attention to, and I didn't look at that. Some days, I do a lot of work and some days I don't quite push it as hard. I had three meetings this afternoon, and basically finished work at 5 and was super done for the day.
It poured out all day. Dahlia is willing to go outside, and Princess Toffee who usually stays indoors if it is even slightly damp, went out with too. I wanted to walk them, but it was just too rainy. Sorry, girls.
Geoff cooked dinner, and I did an indoor walk while he cooked. I didn't think I'd get a walk in with the weather, but, I went to the gym after dinner. I wasn't willing to lose my streak of 10k+ days!
Linda and I talked while I walked the treadmill. No playlist, just Linda and chatting. I wanted to do at least another 20 minutes on the treadmill, but ended up at 40 minutes with my chat with her.
Tomorrow I think it is going to rain still, not sure what our weekend plans are going to be.
Digits below this picture of me and Linda. Oh, yesterday was "National Siblings Day" so there are tons of pictures of me and Linda from that day. And now this one.
