Day 95 — 136.8 — 844.67 cal — 14.995 carb

Up again. My pms is in full effect. My back is killing me, and I am displeased.
I was on the phone from 8:30 am until after 7.  Then, while I was in mthe middle of making a new quiche, I had a surprise conference call.  My life is fun.
We got a bit [...]

Day 94 — 136.6 — 1008 cal — 12.8 carb

Argh. Bloated. Don’t care.
I had to check flights for my one-day business trip tomorrow. The cheapest fare I found is $1400. I think that means I am not attending. I am pissed, actually. Had we confirmed this more than 18 hours out, I could have found a decent fare [...]

Brain Not Working

I cannot remember anything today.  I could not for the life of me remember the name of a favorite website.  I could not remember the word chorizo when thinking about the pound of raw pork sitting in the fridge.
This is not good.

Day 93 — 136.2 — 966 cal — 12.9 carb

It’s a wonderful day: I am bloated from pms and I am still slightly nauseated from my bout of food poisoning.
I returned the offending item to the market along with the other two I was not going to eat. I know the problem was with handling. They returned my money, so I could [...]

Day 92 — 136.0

I am up .4.  I am food poisoned, but I caught it so I did not become um actively ill.
I still feel pretty awful.  I was able to eat something other than nuts a couple of hours ago and I am not much more nauseated than I was before.
I have been drinking ginger tea, at [...]

Slightly Food Poisoned

I am notoriously sensitive to anything in my food.  I get poisoned easily while everyone else, eating the same things, are just fine.  The best example was chinese food I had with a boyfriend.  We both ate the same thing at the same time, and I was sick in bed for 3 days.  He was [...]

Day 91 — 135.6 — 986 cal — 15.4 carb

For the second day in a row, I ended a business call with the man on the other end, who I have never met, flirting with me. Setting aside the inappropriateness, I am actually rather flattered.
It’s one of those giant messages from the universe that lets me know that I am back. I [...]

Politics: Tears in My Eyes Over “Yes We Can”

I was just blasting through my rss and read this post by Mike Lux entitled Letting History Be Our Guide about Obama and progressive politics.
He quoted from Obama’s New Hampshire concession speech and I had forgotten the unbelievable power of these words, until I realized I actually had tears in my eyes again just [...]

Day 90 — 135.8 — 752.67 cal — 15.23 carb

Interesting: I spent an hour tonight on the phone with my new buddy, mostly working, except when he gushed “you’re adorable.” Uh-oh. I mean, I am adorable, but uh-oh. Yes, we’re meeting at some point. He’s younger than I, which is not a problem. We are doing business, which [...]
