bzarcherHome, alive, safe, and all that. Spent some time hanging out with ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
ijikeru, who was kind enough to buy me a copy of Megatokyo vol. 1 at Virgin (and at $9, I think it's the cheapest thing I've ever -seen- at a Virgin store!)
Alison's doing okay, on new meds.
Looks like we leave for Florida after early Sunday church. Can't tell you how much I 'look forward' to that.
I mean...I want it to go well, but I just can't make up a lot of enthusiasm for this.
We'll see.
(Also got the disturbing sight today of my Dad apparently trying on his swimsuit and walking around.....he looks emaciated. Like, pictures of P.O.W.s and Jews leaving the concentration camps emaciated. I could count his ribs, and a lot of his flesh just sort of hung off his bones, and not in good ways. If that's what dieting does for people who go down to 'proper' weight levels, I'm increasingly distrustful of this Optifast shit. I actually -like- who I am. I don't think that's an improvement.)

And, of course, there's no exercize involved, I believe. So all the lightweight padding is going away and there's no dense muscle to recover it.
Usually dieting involves lots and lots of exercize to help one's body establish a metabolism and more muscle mass to set up a healthy internal weight control system.
This is fasting, which is always bad. Look at the name.
