I'm kind of tired today for some reason. I could have used another 3 hours of sleep. The air conditioner people came over at 2pm today and fixed my air conditioner. I had a bad capacitor and blown fuse. He said it was probably caused by a surge. The bill to repair it came up to about $266. Yesterday at 1:40pm my Computer Battery Backup software reported a blackout for a duration of 5 seconds. Strangely none of my lights went out, but flickered I think. I barely noticed them doing this, so it might have been my imagination.

My battery backup on my PC has been totally worth it. I'll definitely keep one connected from every computer I own from now on. The software even tells me how many watts i'm using. Right now it's only at 194watts. Without my ATI 4870 video card and just using an older one I can get it down to 110 watts. My old EEEPC could get down to 10 watts when on. That's like a light bulb!! CFL that is.

Since I was paid back on some money I loaned out I went back to Art-Van to check on some recliners. The one I liked the most was still there and I wanted it so bad. It was a gliding, swivel recliner made by Lay-Z-Boy. Unfortunately it's in leather, but i'll live. I went to the art van store and the stationary one alone was $300 more! Luckily I got them to price match and I got the gliding swivel recliner. I ended up returning my undelievered recliner from them I purchased a week ago for this one. It's very expensive but it will be worth it. I said to myself that I must be crazy paying this much for a chair. I won't regret it much when I sit in it I think. Actually I don't regret it at all as it is now. I deserve a nice chair to sit in on my days off! I can't wait until they deliver it!

I ate well again today. Considering I didn't eat a ton of food I should be more hungry then I am.

For late breakfast I had a salad with lots of protein (again) and some fruit. For lunch it was plain whole wheat noodles and a cucumber tomato salad. My mistake here is no protein really. Oops.

Since that didn't help me any I ate a Subway sandwich a few hours later. As always, a Veggie patty on wheat with no mayo, oil or cheese. My guess is that they're around 300-350 calories total. I need maybe 30 grams of protein still today and my day should be complete. Sadly i'm out of my favorite healthy food..low fat cottage cheese (Michigan Brand).
