Alcohol, TurboJam, Cleaning
Hmmm... let's start with an alcohol diary:

Sun May 17 - 0 (eat what I want including 1/3 of an apple pie, but don't drink)
Mon May 18 - 0 (first day back tracking my nutrition)
Tues May 19 - 0
Wed May 20 - 7oz vodka; 1oz whiskey [75g alcohol] (normal drinking)
Thurs May 21 - 0
Fri May 22 - 17.5oz white wine; 1oz whiskey [62g alcohol] (frightful day at work)
Sat May 23 - 8oz white wine [22g alcohol] (Party at my house, possibly had some champagne and forgot to track...)
Sun May 24 - 4oz navy rum; 7oz white wine [56g alcohol]
Mon May 25 - 5oz red wine (one year anniversary; I turned down champagne.)
Tues May 26 - 0 (Day 1 antibiotic)
Wed May 27 - 0
Thurs May 28 - ?
Fri may 29 - ?
Sat May 30 - ? (Day 5 antibiotic)
Sun May 31 - ?
Mon June 1 - ?
Tues Jun 2 - ?
Wed June 3 - ?
Thurs June 4 - ? (Last day of antibiotics)

I have to say I'm pretty damn happy about that. How does that compare to anyone else? Better than usual for me, at least. Tuesday I started on antibiotics. It doesn't have any warnings against alcohol, but a great excuse not to drink. We have a 40th birthday party Friday, then the weekend, then I'm off on Monday. Those four days are not promising. There is an unopened bottle of Cook's blue label in the fridge from our anniversary. We have a touch of vodka, 1/4 box of white wine or less, and 1/5 of navy rum in the house.

I think (and I've not always kept such good records) that if I make it four consecutive days, it will be the first time since November 2007.

Walked down to the library to check out TurboJam REMIX after I found out that my National Aerobics Champion workout only burned 236 calories in thirty minutes. That was around seven. Maybe at eight I did TurboJam (an amazing 246cal in thirty minutes for all that extra effort). Ate some split pea soup. Played on the 'puter. Showered, cleaned master bath, tidied kitchen, decided on and completed a beauty routine, read books in bed with love-bunny until 10:30P.

Laid there until 11:30P. This morning, I found myself confronted with empty spice containers that fit in the lazy susan-like spice spinner so I found some almost empty ugly big plastic commercial containers and set them out with the glass spice shakers. So tonight, I filled those up, marveled at which commercial containers could be recycled or not, topped off a few others, sorted out the seasoning cabinet above the spice spinner, made an offering of unused gadgets (on the kitchen table waiting boo-approval), and got on Facebook/LJ. I plan on prepping one of those gadgets, an OXO Good Grip mandolin, for warranty repair. Of course it was a gift to Alex, and I broke it...

I wonder if I'll get tired and how I'll feel tomorrow. It's been a long time since this has happened. Ah-- my leg is looking better. No more oozing, less inflamed. The skin is peeling off quite nicely. Still looks horrid.
