1. Very nice walk yesterday. 4.1 miles round trip. We went down to Sears again because Bruce's glasses were still a little crooked, but they seem to be fixed now, so hopefully that's the last of it (if not, oh well, at least it's a nice walk to Sears!). We stopped in Penzey's Spices after that so Bruce could turn in a job application. Then we headed up to Barnes & Noble to use the rest of my gift card (I had a list this time!) and on the way stopped at a gelato place. I had a scoop of apricot/almond, which was soooo good (though at $3.45 for one scoop, I doubt I'll be getting their stuff very often, if ever).

Barnes & Noble was...less than happy. Of the nine books I'd written down, they had two, one of which was hardcover and cost $22.95, which I was not about to pay even though I knew I'd like it and still had $9 on my gift card. I ended up getting the book of Long Way Down, which they had in paperback for $17, so with my card, I got about half off. I loved the book of Long Way Round, so I'm looking forward to reading this one. ♥Ewan.

2. I started keeping track on a spreadsheet of how much we walk each day for the month of July, and the total for the first week s 25.3 miles.

3. For the past week or so I have had no hip pain! I have had hip pain off and on for quite some time, but last month I had really bad pain pretty much non-stop for several weeks. I have no idea why it got so bad or why it suddenly stopped, but I hope this keeps up!

4. I have once again slacked off really horribly on moving lyrics from my old site to my new site. The reason for that was that I've left a lot of the artists I know will be a pain for last. So I came to one where the lyrics were really badly formatted (before there were Japanese sites with lyrics online, I used to buy these lyrics magazines that had hundreds of lyrics each month, and they would often have weird formatting in order to fit as many as possible on the page, and I just copied the formatting when I typed them up. So a lot of the older artists on my site have crap-looking lyrics which I want to prettify, plus they're more likely to have typoes and mistakes. So there's that, plus the artist I was last working on (GLAY) had some donated translations that looking at them now are really horrible. There's really no use in even correcting them; I should just toss the donated ones and redo the translations from scratch. But...that would take time away from my already backlogged current translation queue. Gah! So I just stopped that project. ^_^;; But today I added songs for two other artists which turned out to be no problem at all. So maybe I'll skip around some more in my list and leave GLAY for another time.

1. I wrote some more on my remix today and have ideas for the rest of the scenes, so theoretically if I just sit down and write it, it should be pretty easy going.

2. Bruce went over to the college to check on the status of his transcripts again, and this time there's actually been progress! They received one of the three we're waiting for, so just two to go. I don't know why it's taking so long to get these, but I'm glad at least one of them showed up. If there's still no sign of the other two by next week, he'll call the schools (one of them charges for transcripts and I know they've already cashed our check, so it's not like the request got lost in the mail).

3. We ate the first of our tomatoes today. It was very small and we each only got half, but omg it was so good. I can't wait for the rest to ripen!
