Jan. 20th, 2011 03:57 pmEnd of the week in sight... nearly there....
My trainer rescheduled yesterday's session to tomorrow but though i didn't want to go, i did anyway. Did some treadmill time and a shortened workout with the weights, just arm stuff as i didn't do much on those on Monday's. No doubt he'll put me through it tomorrow.
At work, we're going to get a "fancy dancy" coffee maker that uses those little brew cups instead of a messy filter. It makes one cup at a time up to a 10 ounce cup. After a lot of to and fro by email, we're going to get it from a local coffee service for free and we can buy the coffee supplies from them. Sounds like a plan. We don't have to buy the cups from them and we will each purchase our own supplies since people want different things. I'm a tea drinker and it seems as if there should be no taste transfer with this machine so we'll see how it goes. I did read of a way you could reuse the little cups by cleaning out the filter and recovering them with a tight plastic wrap so as to be a bit "greener". Anyway the cups work out to cost about 70 cents per brewed cup so that's not bad. I figure a box of 24 cups will last me about 2 weeks and a bit and that's cheaper than i'm paying to buy my tea at Starbucks now even with a free refill using my prepaid Starbucks card.
Mom's been in Florida for a few weeks and is back today, probably on the ground waiting in customs as i type this. It's only been two and a half weeks but it was strange not hearing from her. Well, she did call me at work twice but it's still different.
Grabbed about 200 more ebooks last night off isohunt.com and have converted them from mobi to epub format. I have started watching True Blood season 1 and wanted to get the books that they're based on and these were in a job lot with other stuff so i nabbed the lot. The new Keith Richards' autobiography is in it too though i've heard it's only mediocre. But if i've got it for free, it's probably worth reading. When converting the books, i notice sometimes the word at the end of one line runs up against the first word from the next line but i don't really mind. There's probably a setting i'm missing somewhere but i can't work it out. It's not that difficult to read around it anyway. Am currently reading the first book that the series Dexter is based on. Quite good!
