Today I worked and it was super easy.  Davey picked me up and we went to Becky and Grant's house with all the puppies for lunch.  I went running and we went to Publix and splurged on groceries!  Then we went to Jamey and Mary's for dinner and we all went to Normal Bar and played Word Party there.  It was terribly cold outside which really brought my mood down.  Also I am nervous about the compulsions I am having in the whole bettering my health thing.  I shouldn't be almost crying if I think I won't have time to go running.  I don't really know where I am in relation to normalcy with all that because I never, ever discipline myself.  At least I have gone nine days without smoking, though.  Even though it was over a week ago that I had a very bad cold, my body still is coughing and full of congestion, which is hopefully just my lungs getting rid of all the bad toxins.

Tonight's blog is coming from my iPod touch from Little Kings. Meaning, please excuse spelling due to key pad inability and bar activities.

Today I unfortunately slept through yoga but went running. I downloaded this application on my iPod that let's you enter your food intake and exercise to calculate calories and weight loss goals. I was 44 calories under my recommended intake goal, but I'm sure these two whiskies and Blenheims, but...

I ran into Jamey And Mary downtown today at Walker's and got some reading done. Then I went to Dynamyte and bought shoes, socks and sunglasses. Oops.

I should go. I am looking super duper anti social right now for sure.

I was only there three hours today and went practically ballistic.  It is tragic hating being somewhere so badly that even if you get lucky or finagle a way to get out after three hours, you sprint out the door than realize, "wait, I only made, like $20 in this measly shift..."

But well.  Tomorrow is a day off and I THINK I that even though I didn't work for almost two weeks I'll be getting a tiny sum of money (paid holiday--New Years.)

I will write about this here --even though no one reads this blog-- so I can stop bragging about this in real life:  Not smoking saves money and it's totes worth it!  $6.50 a day (and I live in an EXTREMELY CHEAP town/state), times 7 days a week, times 4 weeks means I am saving $182 a week and over $2000 a month...wheeeeeeee!

I had my alarm set for 7:00am this morning but the next thing I knew it was 9:00am and my phone was ringing.  Therefore I didn't get to run before work but I did run, this afternoon and struggled a bit, I'm not sure why.  I haven't slept through my alarm in a while...

Oh wow, Davey and I watched this crazy movie last night called "Buried" and not that the plot isn't basically given away in the title but if you do choose to watch it, prepare to be very, very claustrophobic.  HA HA HA HA HA.

5 Alive

Today I actually woke up early and ran/stretched/did sit-ups before work, hooray~!  Then I walked to the co-op and bought a bunch of dark chocolate covered espresso beans, which was a bad idea because I ate them before an 8 hour work shift and felt a little bit sick.  Work wasn't too bad at all today, surprisingly.  I got a bit of reading done in the locker room before my shift.  Hannah and I were going to go to yoga after our shift ended but a bunch of co-workers were going to the Globe for a drink so we went there for a couple gin and tonics then we ate dinner together at Taco Stand.  I got TWO tofu burritos but I don't care...I haven't been there in weeks and I won't have time to eat something like that for a while.  Now it is only 9:00 and I just got back from J's with some whiskey. Driving a car made me want to smoke for the first time this week but of course I didn't.  I was tempted the buy some cloves because they aren't really cigarettes yet I did not and now that I am home I am glad I did not.  I need to do yoga tomorrow because now two days have elapsed.  I plan to get up early and exercise again, and hopefully eat less tomorrow.  I need to get on my movie watching and also instrument learning!

4 GORE

Ahhh keeping track of this is a lot of pressure!  I just don't have time for anything.  Tonight we went to RuSan's and then to Jamey and Mary's to watch The American Astronaut (I guess my first movie of the year!)  Going back to work was pretty terrible because I hate not knowing when I'm going to get out.  I didn't have time to read which I was planning on doing and even worse I didn't run or go to yoga but I walked both ways to work which is a few miles, better than nothing I guess.  Still no smoking as well.  It's only 11:00pm but I want to run before work tomorrow so my alarm is set for 7:00am...ick!  Then maybe I can read before work at 10:00am then get out of work in time for the later yoga class but knowing Holiday I probably will not.  I have Friday off so hopefully I can see people all day then.

3 WHEE

Today I can breathe out of my nose, although my septum resembles that of a crack whore.  Or at least my nostrils look like I have been bumping.

Sarah and Robert left today.

Today was my last day off of work...13 days or so without working.  Going back tomorrow morning is going to be MISERABLE.

I ran for the longest I have today, around the neighborhood a while until I noticed a little girl sitting outside staring at me then I ran out to the Chicken Factory until I ran out of sidewalk then ran/walked back.

Same as the past two days, I am fulfilling my N/Y resolutions.  I am currently reading the Life of Pi, and got a bit into it as the internet was down today.

I went to yoga with Hannah and Mary tonight.  I have mixed feelings about yoga.  I am too god damn lazy.

I found out you can buy co-op sandwiches with food stamps.  My life as I know it will never be the same.

I went to Kristen/Connor's party at Becky's and Grant's tonight.

I still feel awful and look even worse.  How do some people look reasonably healthy when they have a bad cold while some people are obviously infected?  My nose is swollen, my eyes are squinty and if I saw myself on the street I would be sure I was a poster child for rosacea.

Sarah and Robert are leaving tomorrow morning and I feel like I've been a bad host but at the same time I haven't really been in the right mind due to my health and also to be honest I don't really do anything, especially not while I'm on vacation.  We got coffee today and went to Kelly's, though!

I went running a bit more this morning, more than I did yesterday afternoon and I still haven't smoked!
