Eva’s Byte #299 – The Switcheroo
From coffee to tea…
A diehard iced coffee drinker was I. Dunkin Donuts mocha, to be precise, at the intake of one 13.7-ounce bottle per day. It’s fair to say I looked forward to indulging this small pleasure. However, for health purposes, I’m switching my libation.
Already dedicated to exercising and walking, I’ve become more mindful of increasing my calcium intake. Therefore, I’m cutting down on sodium which accelerates the rate at which calcium is lost from bones. Since one bottle of Dunkin contains 100 mg. of sodium, I purged the fridge and am now a teetotaler who embraces the merits of drinking green tea.
My goal to imbibe one-two cups of green tea per day purportedly has many potential benefits. I’ve listed them, prioritizing my top three health needs: stabilizing cholesterol levels, lowering blood pressure, making bones strong, improving brain function, lowering blood sugar levels, encouraging oral health, reducing body weight, preventing hair loss, reducing the risk of cancer, fighting the aging process, promoting longevity.
As for switching gears in my capacity of a writer, I finished drafting Chapter 63, Part 3 at 1486 words in my Contemporary work in progress. I’m hitting the ground running for drafting Chapter 64, resuming from 108 words.
Wishing you all the best if you’re in the midst of switching lanes, switching off emotions, or switching things up.

Eva’s Byte #530 – The Switcheroo
It’s like a heatwave, tearing me apart. Yeah yeah!
(To the gist of Martha and the Vandellas’ “Heat Wave” 1963)
Summers in New England can be fraught with an uncomfortable combo of heat and humidity. About to use my recently installed AC units for the first time this year, I pressed the remote’s On/Off button for my office unit. The temperature registered 24 degrees. Pressing the Up arrow several times, the buck stopped at 30!
Thinking the remote needed new batteries, I replenished them. I still could not get the degree to budge any higher. At this point, I’m thinking, when maintenance checked the filter and tested the unit, the remote got switched to Celsius mode.
Sure enough, a google search indicated 24 degrees C = 75.2 degrees F.
Certain I’d prefer navigating in Fahrenheit, and given my apprehension dealing with anything mechanical or technical, I sought out tutorials on remote control temperature conversion. A little too involved for my liking.
A Eureka moment occurred when I slipped on my stronger reading glasses. What do you know: a C/F button on the remote. The switcheroo was just a finger press away!
In the capacity of a writer drafting my Contemporary work in progress, I’m heating up the action in chapter 18 and pressing on from 968 words thus far.
*May each of us put the pedal to the metal using our independent thinking skills.
My sincere appreciation to you for reading this far.
