A nose in need

deserves Puffs indeed!

Overnight I have become a mucous factory. Thank goodness for the person who thought to put lotion in tissues!

Nothing else exciting. Slept a lot. Had pizza for dinner last night resulting in bad WI value this morning. Oh well, c'est la vie.

Bah!

I feel like I've been hit by a truck. My throat hurts. A lot. Woe is me. I've decided that I'll go to work but at 2 when the evening person comes in, I'm leaving! There's a 3 hour overlap on this shift that is a little ridiculous. Besides, I have a bus to catch tonight (heading to Mom's, then dr. appointment tomorrow morning).

It's really the best of both worlds--still get paid (yay) and leave early (yay).

Had brekkie half made this morning (I was kind of thinking ahead last night) and the bowl half gone before I realized it's Thursday. I'll WI tomorrow.

We're in!!

Big shout out to C. who was up and at'em early this morning (and I know how she loves mornings)to get us registered in the 30th annual Melissa's Road Race in Banff!

Whoo hoo! Now I really need to get my ass in gear: I'm registered for the half in Vancouver (and I bought my airfare) and now Melissa's in September. If I can shake this nasty virus that's refusing to let go, I could be back out there, running off my worries. But wait, it's -30C with the windchill today and tomorrow...so maybe I'll hold off for a day or two. =)

Off to work....will check in later!

A post on returns

....the return of winter. Blah.

AND

....the return of moi! Sorry I've been busy and tired when I get home. Tonight is no different. Had a great evening with a girl I used to work with. Got caught up on all the gossip (demotion of manager, jail time of former colleague, critical incident deets...all kinds of good stuff) and had a fabulous dinner at Earls.

I went to get my bloodwork done this morning so that my doc and I can chat on Friday when I go for my physical, but after waiting 15 minutes and only one person had their requisition entered, I left. Apparently I need to give myself more than half an hour. They can have two hours tomorrow morning and lemme tell ya, if it takes longer than that, heads will roll! For five cents, gimme the butterfly needle, tourniquet and tubes, I can take my own blood (just so you know, I'm not a druggie, I am a licensed medical laboratory technologist, trained and skilled to do such things). I was hungry, darn it!

Got in a little over time again today (cha-ching!) but now I'm ready for bed. I'll check in with y'all later!

Lazy day off

I love days off! Nerm and I got to sleep until we wanted to and there was no alarm clock involved. Unfortunately, Nerm thought she was dying of hunger and insisted that I remedy the situation immediately. For such a tiny thing, she can be pretty persuasive!

Did a little yoga with Rodney Yee and then had some yummy oatmeal (oats, almond breeze vanilla a la Angie, almond butter, honey and Lindt chocolate). Sipped some chai and finished my French homework for tonight and did a post-hire survey for work.

And now the day stretches ahead....

Cha Ching, Overtime!

All weekend long! Is it wrong to be happy that someone hurt their back so that I get to work? I also finangled Monday off as a bonus for working all weekend. Sweet! I'm sleeping in and doing yoga all day (along with French homework and French class).

WI = Happy Dance

Down 0.6 this morning! WHOO HOO!

Made a great brekkie for me and mom:
1/2 cup 9 grain oatmeal
1 cup 1% moo
1 heaping tsp almond butter
1 heaping tsp honey

Cook to desired consistency. Then stir in one mini Lindt milk chocolate truffle.

OH MY GOD. I never knew I could be so excited by oatmeal!
