Three things make a post?

1) After being in the high 80s/low 90s for a couple days, today is beautiful! Supposedly it got up to 81 at some point, but I had my windows open all day and it never got too hot. It's cool and wonderful now, and I don't even mind the young kids being loud right outside my window.

I am, however, so envious of all the people going into the complex pool. I'm resisting until after my surgery; I can't risk getting more infections, no matter how low the risk.

2) I feel like a big slacker for "working" from home today, but today was free bagel/donut day at work, free unlimited pastries. My willpower isn't strong enough to resist unlimited free baked goodies. :/ Sure was a nice day to stay home though! (Edit: Having one wouldn't be a problem, but my issue is stopping at one. It really is unlimited, if you wanted a dozen donuts, there are plenty, you could take that many and have bagels, baked things, and other sweets as well!)

3) I know I have a lot of gamers on my friends list, so you might be interested to know that jsciv works for Blizzard as a programmer for WoW (recent changes mean they're permitted to tell people that now). I'm hoping for lots of interesting stories!

*waves flag* Hi there! I'm a fan! Let him/her/them know, ok?

(actually hunting them down seems to cross some kind of line for me,
so I won't, but I'm enjoying all the changes and look forward to the new stuff, and even when I find stuff I don't like, there's still plenty of stuff that I do! also, it isn't offline nearly as often as I feared it might, and the customer service (what I have used of it) is lovely! Ok, I'm done, now.)

I'm glad you're still enjoying the game! I quit a couple weeks back, but I do miss the people there.

Luckily there's still LJ and such to connect with people still playing. :)

90's already? Yikes, that seems really hot for May.

You have lots of interesting people on your flist!

Very uncommon! And thankfully over, as of today. The cool weather is so much nicer.

I do! I feel very lucky for knowing all of you. :)

Your willpower will improve.. it is like a muscle... use it and it gets stronger. If you simply cannot resist baked goods, go without them completely for 30 days and you will be able to renegotiate your relationship to them easily. :)

That's good to know!

Knowing the limits of your willpower is a useful tool. I would probably have been able to stop after four... which is still too many.

The worst part of practicing portion control is when you've made just slightly too much food, have reached the point where you think you've had enough, and then what's left on the plate is so small there's no point in storing it as leftovers. Throwing away perfectly good food still feels so incredibly wrong. I eat it every time.

Yes, to both! I could probably stop at four, but like you said, that's already too much.

I do the same exact thing when there's just a "little" bit left. I almost always end up eating it.
