General Update: the gym, performance review, and salmon

I made it to the gym! I didn't run! Oh well. I'll get there. I mostly did upper body workout. I need a haircut--I look like a stalker in the gym mirrors!

In other news, I just got my performance review and did fine last year; this is good, because I really didn't think I was going to have a good review, but my manager went to bat for me and pulled me through. I also received a nice bonus from another department for a big project I helped wrap up last year. It felt good to get all that good news today. It seems like I get a 'do over' at work: despite the fact I wasn't working to my full potential, it was good enough to get me through, and then some.

I'm going to stop by the store and pick up some salmon for dinner. For those who like salmon, I have two tips. 1.) If you like salmon patties, buy canned salmon and bake a bunch of this. It's cheap and really healthy (you have to be okay eating canned salmon, however). 2.) I buy frozen fillets from Super Target. You buy the entire flank and it comes in a bag (like frozen chicken (but don't buy the chopped up fillets--those don't seem to be as good a value)); it's $7, which is good for a few meals. That's about 1/2 the cost of the fresh salmon, but seeing as its shipped in from the coast, I almost would rather have them flash freeze it.

That is all.
