I'm sorry, but... *laughs* That's just waaay too easy to mock.

Had a nice day off and a good start to a four day weekend. (Tuesday's my birthday and I decided to take both it and Monday off.)

I went and saw The Martian Child with John Cusack. I quite liked it, but didn't fall in love with it. (And People's Plaza raised their prices to $8 for a matinee and $10 for a regular movie. Am I glad I get coupons pretty regularly.)

Then tonight my dad and I went out for dinner to La Tolteca (which has very yummy Mexican food) and then down on campus to see The Simpsons Movie. That movie was a lot of fun.

The allergies are slowly getting better. I've found that turning on the little space heater in my room (that I'd left up there from last winter because it gets really cold from time to time) helps a lot in fending off the coughing. The only downside is that now my hands are doing their normal winter chapped look - which means my hands are really dry and have little splits all over them and sometimes they hurt.

But WW was good today. I lost 6.2 lbs. Though, I'm sure at least 2 lbs of that is a readjustment from last week, because I stopped in before going to the con and I had gained 2.4 lbs and I was wearing long pants and it was at lunch time and I normally wear shorts and go first thing in the morning. But I still lost about 4 lbs (and this included a con weekend!), so I'm very happy.

Thanks. I still have a *long* way to go, but I'm getting there. :-D

Unsolicited advice

Talk to your doctor, there are medicated lotions you can get that help with the chapping. My mother was a home ec teacher and washed her hands a million times a day, so they got really chapped and cracked in the winter. The lotion really helped her.

I'll definitely have to look into that. And I can see why your mom would - reverse hydration or whatever from so much water. But I don't wash them an abnormal amout, and I make sure to dry them well afterwards and wear either gloves or mittens outside most of the time, so there's no reason they should be *this* dry.
