Thank the gods I got the cover design done and now I just need to make up the flyer and get it into the mail (Priority!). Yeesh.\n<li>I&#8217;ve officially lost 20 pounds as of today. It took 76 days to do it. Just 20 more to go! I&#8217;m shrinking out of all my clothes and I look like a bag lady, but there&#8217;s no point in buying new clothes when I&#8217;m only at the halfway mark.\n<li>To help with that, I just scored <em>National Treasure: Book of Secrets<\/em> at the library to cycle to. At 125 minutes and a 7-day rental, that will get me through four cycling sessions. It better be exciting! \ud83d\ude42\n<li>I&#8217;m making serious progress with revisions and cuts to <em>The Longer the Fall<\/em>. I&#8217;m hoping to have a very productive weekend with it.\n<li>I got a thank-you note from the PR person at Acorn Media for <a href=\"http:\/\/blogcritics.org\/video\/article\/dvd-review-midsomer-murders-set-twelve1\/\" target=\"_blank\">my review of <em>Midsomer Murders.<\/em><\/a>\n<\/ul>\n<\/p>\n<p>During Wednesday night&#8217;s session I caught the exercycle&#8217;s belt starting to slip off. That was the fifth session since the <em>second<\/em> time I&#8217;d repaired the exercycle, and I&#8217;d decided to leave the covers off permanently so I could watch the belt and wheels and catch any problems right away. I hopped off the seat and re-adjusted the belt back into place, after which it was fine. So, keeping the covers off the exercycle and an eye on the foolish belt at least solves that issue. I won&#8217;t have to replace the exercycle unless something else breaks. That&#8217;s great, because even though I&#8217;m cycling for a shorter time now (I just don&#8217;t have the energy while I&#8217;m on this strenuous diet), the &#8220;natural&#8221; pace that I settle into is now up to 15 mph, steady.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m still freaking out about the looming closure of the library. I picked up the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.nashobapublishing.com\/pepperell_news\" target=\"_blank\">local weekly paper<\/a>, which comes out on Friday, and it has articles about both nights of Town Meeting this week. But they don&#8217;t print one single letter to the editor about Town Meeting or any of the issues. There&#8217;s something&#8230;not right&#8230;about that. I simply don&#8217;t believe that they didn&#8217;t get any letters at all.
