Greetings from the tiredest person you know. This home remodeling biz will definitely take the wind out of your sails. Having paid someone to paint both bathrooms, with less than remarkable results, I’ve decided to tackle the next paint project myself. They’re two itsy bitsy rooms (guest/exercise room and home office)–what could go wrong? Next week should be fun. 
In some good-Cammy news, I received the lab results from my recent doctor visit! I’m sharing them here as a measure of my success:
| Results | Factor | Goal |
|---|---|---|
| 168 | Total Cholesterol | Less than 200 mg/dL |
| 101 | LDL (”Bad”) Cholesterol | LDL cholesterol goals vary. |
| Less than 100 is Optimal | ||
| 100 to 129 is Near Optimal/Above Optimal | ||
| 130 to 159 is Borderline High | ||
| 160 to 189 is High | ||
| 190 is Very High | ||
| 55 | HDL (“Good”) Cholesterol | 50 or higher |
| 58 | Triglycerides | 150 |
| 120/80 | Blood Pressure | 120/80 |
| 76 | Fasting Glucose | 100 |
I am quite pleased, especially with that “good” cholesterol number. It was 30 last year.
I am also pleased with my snazzy table and sincerely hope it displays properly in your browser. I used a nifty little online app called Tableizer, which requires only that you copy/paste your spreadsheet contents into a little box. Then, presto! They generate the code. FOR FREE! Next, I’ll learn how to align it properly.
Oh, and in the event you’re like me and didn’t understand why total cholesterol didn’t equal HDL + LDL, you have to add in 1/5 of the total triglycerides. I’ve checked this off my to-do of “learn something new every day.”
Okay, on to starred links from my reader:

And with that, I’m ready for the weekend. Nothing going on here but work, work, work. Unfortunately, the two rooms I’ve decided to paint contain all my computers and related peripherals, books, office supplies, files, and exercise equipment. And that all has to be relocated somewhere else in this house.
So unless you can give me a good reason why not, I’ll expect you all here tomorrow a.m. at 10:00. How ’bout it? What have you got going on this weekend that’s somehow more important than helping me move heavy crap a few things from room to room?
Whatever it is, I hope you enjoy it!
