Pleasantly surprised last night that I weighed in at 176. Not bad for a week of vacation and then the subsequent travel. Hoping to get down a couple more pounds by the end of the month now with a more regular schedule again. Looking ahead to a weekend at the Delaware County Fair and then off to another polka mass over in Farley. Apparently this time around we are to be treated with the best polka band locally according to my great-aunt Elmeda. Not exactly looking forward to the coming week at work. Too much customer support work, not enough programming or testing work. I find this customer support work tedious and boring as it drains my motivation. Alright, time to jet out for the day and pay 3 bucks for a gallon of gas. I'm sure I'll be looking back fondly to this price in the near future with all of the ongoing crude oil price spikes.
