Kind of miss my office, now that I think about it. Haven't really set up a good office space at home. Am getting tired of my itinerant ways. Too many uncontrollable facets...annoying people, slow computers, lugging my stuff around. This has been a bad week for computer use....too many snags. Yesterday FORGOT my computer so had to use a REALLY SLOW one which I finally had to completely abandon. It was hopeless trying to get anything done.
Finished a book, Obsessed : America's food addiction - and my own, by Mika Brzezinski. OK, not great. But I like reading books about dieting and health, since that is my thinking now. Her point in the book is that it takes work to be healthy, but it is worth it. She confronted a friend about her weight and writes the book with her. OK, she told her friend Diane Smith that she was FAT. The author resents the feeling she gets from other people that everything is easy for her. It is not. She has a food addiction that she keeps in check only with great effort. She and Diane agreed to work on their issues together....Diane's goal was to LOSE weight and Mika's goal was to GAIN some weight.
The book is available at the Vineland Public Library (362.196 Brz).
Quotes: "Virginia Cha, that journalist-beauty queen who took the news anchor job I thought should have been mine, taught me a lesson that has stuck with me to this day: you have to look at what you have to offer and feel good about it instead of being consumed by what other people do or have. It took me a long time to figure that out." Kathleen Turner's response to people who expect her to look the same as she did decades ago in Body heat..."Yeah, I know, I looked like that. I don't anymore. Okay? Get over it."
