There's only two songs in me

Today's assorted Yays and Not-So-Yays:

Yay:
I appear to be in exceptional voice. Singing in the car on the way to work, I find notes that I traditional strain to reach are nearly what one could call comfortable. I don't know if this is some form of progress or circumstance.

Not-So-Yay:
After skipping two nights at the gym, I left my workout clothes at home today in my rush to get out the door.

Yay Modifying the Not-So-Yay:
I'm probably okay to go to the gym in this outfit. It'll just be less comfortable. I do have my gym card with me.

Yay:
Lunch at the New Orient** included a yummy Squash Chicken, which I had never seen before and was very nice. Nice sweet yellow squash meat slowly turning into a squash sauce that the chicken cooks in.

Yay:
Got my transcripts from OSU and LBCC. One less obstacle between me and me returning to school. Need to start making decisions about what I'm going to *do* back in school. And that will hopefully help me figure out which school.

Not-So-Yay:
I really don't recall doing this poorly in school. General, my GPA hovers between 2.5 and 3.0, but there are a lot of D's and Y's and I's, and an F in Western Civ 101 which I *really* don't remember. (I would have had to try pretty fucking hard to get an F in WCiv, and I'd think I would have noticed such a thing given that my chosen major was PoliSci and sort of relied on passing those classes.) I find this disturbing, in my lack of ability to rely on my memory.

Not-So-Yay:
I found out that the little fat-free yoghurts that I was having for breakfast have HFCS in them, because I didn't check the label.

Yay:
Buying the yoghurt means I'm actually likely to *eat* something for breakfast and it's facilitating the 'several small meals instead of two big meals' plan. And it looks like there is a 'light' line on the little yoghurts that, while there is less flavor variety, still has no fat and also no HFCS.

Yay:
Generally eating better than I did six months ago. I found a salad dressing where one serving is only 1% of the USRDA of fat, instead of, like, 12% where most of the 'lite' dressings were. Which is good, because I use about three servings of salad dressing on a salad. So there are evening salads, and I'm trying to pack food so that I can eat a little at a time and not take a lot of prep. (little packets of raw vegetables, or nuts, or sandwiches on grainy breads) This also helps the eating little meals plan, which my job makes *really* hard.

Not-So-Yay:
It's hard eating less cheese. SoyCheez is good in something like a salad where it can be disguised, but it does not hold up in a sandwich or something where it's a more prominent ingredient.


**New Orient: Sort of a Mom And Pop "Mr. Chau's". The quality is higher, the food is fresher, but it's still greasy lunch food. There are, like, six 'standard' trays, like sweet/sour pork or broccoli beef, on the counter and then three more that change from day to day. I've seen tangerine chicken, dry roasted green beans, tofu stir fry.... The counter girl is also really cute and smiles a lot.

At work I often see Doctor Phil on, sans audio. It seems like the same people are always on. Maybe there's a 'Doctor Phil' look that they shoot for, maybe I'm just seeing repeats or something. This is neither a yay nor a not-so-yay, merely an observation.

Re: School

Probably not much for science or engineering--if nothing else, then because I'd need a lot more maths classes and I've already failed trigonometry twice. I'm not a music kind of fellow, then?
