Weekly Rants

Monday Monday

I'm wearing glasses. You know what that means. I woke up feeling awful. My body is still aching. I'm starting to worry that this might be a long term thing. I need a full time job with health benefits, pronto. That's the common story of a 20-something-year old with no health coverage in America.

Better Weather

We've got some sun in today and the temperature is currently in the high 80s here in the state capitol. Mermaid is heading to LA soon, I wonder how the weather is down there. Lucky her! I wish her the best of luck, even if she doesn't need it. I can't wait for when she comes back. I LOVE hearing about her adventures. They're always so bold and exciting. Makes me feel so lame with my blah life. The only thing I got going for me is... myself. =P Other than that, I'm still not feeling so well. I feel so crappy since I haven't been logging my miles. I wonder how my body will feel tomorrow.

Abrupt change in weather

What's with this sudden cooler weather? My body is achy. I hate how my body cannot adjust to sudden changes in weather. My joints are in pain and my stomach feels funny. I need to listen to my body today and take a break from logging my miles or this day will not end well.

Questioning me??

I've always thought that a certain someone knew me well enough to not question me on why I do certain things. By now, they should know how random I am. So this is making me wonder why they questioned me when I opened up a purse and exclaimed "That's where you've been hiding!!! I've been searching all over for you!" He looked over while driving and looked a little confused and asked "Why do you have that?" Hmm... Shouldn't he know how by now without questioning??

Cookies

Now that I've been baking and cooking on my own, I haven't been giving much thought in purchasing packaged food at the grocery. I normally bake cowboy cookies, which I snack on as my recovery/post-running food and also as my hunger-pangs-at-work snack. I find the cowboy cookies that I'd bake to be healthful and beneficial in how my body feels at the end of the day. Well, due to my lack of transportation, I was missing the key ingredients that are essential to my workout recovery. Miraculously, my parents bought 3 packs of Keebler cookies from our local Safeway and I decided, why not just substitute these cookies until I am able to get my hands on the key ingredients? Bad mistake. I've been trying to snack on the same dozen cookies that I bagged up 3 days ago and am finding it increasingly difficult to smell, bite, chew, and swallow. Today, hunger pang hits me hard. Instead of reaching for the sweet green tea flavored rice cakes (drools) I decided to finish the Keebler cookies before the end of my work day. Upon opening the baggie, the smell wafted right to my nose, I immediately felt sick. I just couldn't. No matter how hungry, I just can't eat it. But I also despise wasting food. So now what am I do to? Maybe instead of giving the bums my loose change while I await the arrival of my RT light rail, I can just give him my Keebler cookies. That would be good! Now excuse me while I snack on my sweet green tea flavored rice cakes.
