PSA

I decided to write a blog about something very real, and it creeps up fast.  Most people deny its existence, but trust me, it's there, just waiting to pounce.

wondering what i'm talking about? yeah, me too (jk!)

i'm talking about the horrible disease known as horrible newlywedweightgainitis.  it probably affects more people than you know.  currently, my husband and i are waging a war against it.

you see, it started on our honeymoon. actually, i may have started to not care during engagement, but that doesn't matter. we went on a cruise for our honeymoon.  which means food is available all the time, plus all you can eat. that wasn't good.  then we attended my brother-in-law's wedding reception. then we had an open house in MA, AND new year's came along. that's a lot of snacking.  then school started and that brought a lot of busyness and too many fast food meals.

we're fighting that now. we're eating more meals at home, even if it is just coming home between classes for only 30 minutes.  it's really hard sometimes, considering i'm on campus from 8 to 6:30 a few days a week.

also, we're trying to get back into the habit of going to the gym regularly. we made it 3 times last week - not too shabby.  except my legs were pretty sore after the 2nd workout, and so i barely made it the third time haha.

hopefully i can continue to go a few times a week.  mostly because i don't want to buy new clothes if i keep gaining weight. that's a lot of work haha.

The computers we use at work are relatively old.  Not super old, but from around 2002-2004.  In addition to that, they are used everyday, all day.  They are getting tired, and it makes work frustrating sometimes. The computer is slow loading any program, and it just gets really annoying.

Not only that, but the main program we use - Archivists' Tool Kit, is also really slow, and it crashes every 30 minutes to 1 hour (depending on the computer).  i swear that 1/4th of my time at work is just waiting and waiting.  i also make sure to hit the save button pretty much every time i change/add something. 

it's really frustrating when it freezes right before you hit save - and have to redo a whole section.

but then, I remember old school dial up.  i can't believe we used to think that was fast and awesome.
