number 15 (25 mm) (not centimeters as I said before)

General Context: In Australia - another week

Sleep: Still working on this! Moving the ebaying to afternoons has helped. 

Teeth: the title of this post is the name of the metal rod or pin that kept breaking off in my jaw; they tried old ones and new ones and about five broke and had to be pulled out with some other tool, the name of which they hid from me (perhaps it is scary); my dentist here is awesome and is also training a younger dentist, so I'm glad the breaking-off happened with me, since I am basically calm in the chair; while people were going to fetch more of the number 15s Dr. Ray described what was happening using science fictional language :)

Publicly shareable things accomplished: (1) more invoices; (2) two lots of dental surgery, with approximately two more to go; (3) lots of photos of libraries (for the director's talk at a Chinese library conference) and the bay walk/run (for year 10 geography project)

Culinary high points: experimenting with quinoa (with brown sugar and raisins for breakfast, with grilled onions and veggies for dinner), and an amazing "freshly squeezed granny smith" apple juice (oh and lots of protein of course)

Dark chocolate: yes 

Exercise: lots of up and down the hall - need to do better in this area

allowed sleep to slip but my teeth are better

General Context: In Australia - week and a half

Sleep: As last week, plenty of sleep on the weekend, but due to late night ebaying, am having problems getting enough sleep on weekdays. "Some" sleep overnight + a long nap (which I am taking every day) are not the same, plus it means I don't accomplish much during the day either. So the point of this blog (which I am sure seems dull to others) is to make myself look at that and change the pattern. Thank you, blog (and reading friends for thoughtful comments).

Publicly shareable things accomplished: (1) sold some things on ebay for a friend who is about to move to a smaller place (and made a spreadsheet showing how much the fees take out in order to help the sellers plan what makes sense to list and what to charge for it); (2) lots of medical appointments including the first one for my teeth - root canal next week but I am already in much less pain; (3) driving safely at all times despite the preceding; (4) savoring, or savouring, the early autumn weather

Culinary high points: food a bit of a blur due to sleep schedule, but I am barbecuing in the evenings and eating fruit and veggies regularly

Dark chocolate: yes, a bit

Exercise: quite good over the weekend (marching with the sleep) - need to do better on weekdays

toothache + weekend

General Context: In Australia - working, and working on my teeth 

Sleep: Ragged near the end of last week, but 8+ hours a night over the weekend

Publicly shareable things accomplished: (1) worked at a church fundraiser; (2) more text and numbers

Culinary high points: skim milk with mocha-makings; fresh water with green tea cordial in it (lots of liquid things as chewing is painful)

Dark chocolate: yes, a bit

Exercise: yes (including at the fundraiser)

toothache

General Context: In Australia - five more days and nights 

Sleep: averaging 8 hours a night despite having a toothache

Publicly shareable things accomplished: (1) second quarter financial paperwork handed in on time! (was due March 3rd); (2) returned to dentist, last seen in 2006 

Culinary high points: sausage with onions on fresh bread, a fairly standard Australian supper, but the high point was that I ate it while looking at the sunset over Sydney Harbour, listening to dance music

Dark chocolate: reducing the amounts, but still indulging at times 

Exercise: yes!
