Yesterday, Jacquelyn bought a bathroom scale. It's the neat electronic kind, rather than one that goes "sproioioioioing" (her description). So I brought it in from the car as I was unloading the trunk, and, in the kitchen, put the battery in it. There was a switch on the back that, to my presbyopic eyes, had to potential to read "off" and "on," so I switched it, set the scale on the kitchen floor, and stood on it.
69
I knew I had lost some weight last year, but I'm pretty sure it wasn't 110 lbs. I got the instructions out and discovered that the switch was for kg/lbs. Yeah, that looks like "on/off."
Okay, fix it and get on.
151
I can live with that. So I took it to the bathroom and discovered why they call it a bathroom scale... 148. Cool! I'm three pounds lighter in the bathroom than in the kitchen. Must be less gravity there.
Then this morning, before shower, it's 146. After shower, it's 143. Showering helps you lose weight!
Go get dressed, and I'm back up to 148.
I'll get tired of playing with it soon.
