Day 7

I used no paper today. I think that I wouldn't have been so sick had I had the expected intellectual stimuli arrived. But my day PCA didn't show up, so I lacked that expected input. Page count still: 5835.5.

Day 6

I used my first enter piece of paper to enclose in a note with a check to my mom. I also cheated on the diet just a bit, but writing a note on a friend's thank you card. To compensate I rewrote the same note on my piece of scratch paper, which now has about 3 vital notes on it. It exactly easier because I only have one piece of paper to find not 25 that I may have written a message on. Page count: 5835.5

Day 5

I am still only at 5836.5 pages! But today I used a chunk of paper to make a shopping list. My printer is, as of yet, not plugged plugged. I may ask Amy's brother to help plug it in. I'm very to excited to get it connected. Yet I worry it being available will be bad for the diet.

Day 4

I'm still sick. I tried to book a ride on Amtrak. I wrote down the number (on the same paper as I previously used) and I'm going to call back tomorrow when day shift people are available, as I have always found them to be more helpful. I'm so proud of myself only .5 pages used in 4 days, although now that my new printer came today, I'm sure it will increase.

Paper Diet:: Day 3

I have again used no paper! This is because I'm sick. I did, however, manage to answer some mylot post and submitted a poetry manuscript electronically. I'm also going to blog a bit, which happily requires no paper.

Paper Diet:: Day 2

I used no paper today and that makes me really happy. I still have 5836.5 pages to go. Very proud!

"By the way, do you know if your numbers include paper towels or just paper you print and write on? I guess it does include newspapers and magazines?" So asked a commenter on this blog, I'm not counting envelopes, magazines, paper towels, or junk mail. But I can't write notes on them on it will violate my rules.

Paper Diet: Day 1

So far, I've used one side of 1 piece of paper. I have 33 blank pages that are sitting around waiting for notes, shopping lists, or whatever. 5836.5 to go! I can't imagine going through that much. In fact, I wouldn't have need to use that side accept that my personal care assistant (PCA) had to write an emergency note telling my other assistants that my chair charger had sparked and also to remind sometimes bubble headed me to call the mechanic come Monday!
