Well, I'm off to Jersey today for the family "birthday" party even though my birthday was back in May when I was on the cruise. Basically it's an excuse to see people I haven't seen since December since things have just been batshit crazy for me and for my family as well. Luckily there seems to be a small window when everyone's in decent health so we'll try to take advantage of it.

I'm creeping closer to 170 pounds and it's showing, so when I get back I'm going to have to really make an effort to at least drop 10 of them or it will be time to start buying new clothes again. And I REALLY hate to shop, so that might be some motivation. I'm watching the giant protests in London against Trump and it's rather heartening that those of us opposed to him in the US are not alone. This might be the darkest timeline but there's some light still around.

For now, I'm taking the weekend off, Foo Fighters on Monday night, and work as per normal hopefully.
