What can I say?! Today I am feeling better about the benefit show! So far it has raised $490, and I know there are plenty of other folks that plan to get tickets. Get 'em while they're hot! I hope to get some backing from some of the doctors and what not...
Well, I got up and did the early-to-work thing again today. However, I didn't exercise after work today. I just took it easy, which is good. I definitely could have used my free time more effectively, but oh well. I feel like the night lasted forever, which is a perk of being unaccomplished. I am going into work tomorrow morning even though it's one of my telecommute days. I am meeting the show emcee to check out the space for the benefit. Then I am going to a luncheon for one of my friends at the Cobb Energy Center. I nominated him for a nursing award, and the nominees are getting recognized at a luncheon. It should be fun!
I plan to exercise in the morning, so I hope that works out well. Tomorrow will be a long and adventurous day, but it should be fun. I have got a long weekend of working commencement ahead of me. I work Friday night, most of the day Saturday and Sunday, followed by being there super-early on commencement morning (Monday). I'm kind of thankful I got spared the night responsibilities this year, but it's gonna be a busy weekend nonetheless.
Well, I went to Willy's today. I know it doesn't exactly fit my nutritional goals, but I did have a big variety of color on there, so I must have gotten some kind of value from it... or so I hope! Man, those nachos were good and it was fun to get to visit with work friends! I ran into half of our staff there - a bunch of addicts.
Drew's Crew is at $14,270.83, which makes me very happy! I really, really, really hope we can hit our goal of $20K. I know it gets tough in the middle of the campaign, but things tend to pick up near the end, so I am hopeful! And thankful.
It's bedtime for sure. Tomorrow might be a Starbucks morning. I haven't gone yet this week, which is surprising given my early mornings. Mmm, latte.

Tiiiiiiiiiiiiime
Good grief, where does the time go? I swear time is getting lesser and lesser by the day.
Yesterday I slept in until 11:00 a.m. Now, given the fact that I'm complaining about having no time, I realize that wasn't exactly an effective use of my Saturday morning. However, I wouldn't have felt compelled to sleep that late if I wasn't completely exhausted, so I'm just listening to my body. Then I headed over to the gym and exercised for a bit. I did 20 minutes on the elliptical and 12 on the treadmill. It was a good start to the day!
Then I hurriedly showered and got ready and met my friend DH for lunch. We were going to go to Hudson Grille, but apparently it closed or something, so we went to Taco Mac instead. Wooo! Aside from her coming to my improv show last Thursday, we hadn't really talked in YEARS, so that was a lot of fun. I love catching up with relatable people!
I then decided that I needed to go get groceries since it had been probably close to a month. I am really not good at fulfilling my basic needs when I have next to no free time. I realize that my basic needs should come first, but dang, it's tough. I just went into Target (the SUPER kind!) and got some stuff. I had a hard time because I wanted to get home quickly and dodge the rain, so I just arbitrarily grabbed healthyish stuff, plus a few things like shampoo, etc. Consider it true if it's written here - I really want to start eating healthier. Not for vanity's sake, but because I know I don't have good eating habits and I used to feel much more energized when I ate such a variety. Granted, at that time, my only concerns were being in high school and making smoothies, but I felt healthier nutrition-wise. So, that's a goal of mine.
I put groceries up, laid down for a bit, then realized it was time to head out to my crew shift at the theatre. I stopped by Starbucks at the way (See? Thinking I can drink my energy?) and got an iced vanilla latte. I got down to the theatre and trained a newby on suggestions and worked the camera during the show. The shows were a lot of fun to watch and, even though I was out late, I enjoyed myself!
Now I'm getting ready to go watch the kids perform at the theatre - well, the youths and teens. It should be a lot of fun. I'm getting lunch beforehand. YAY!

It's Friday night and the moon is bright
Actually, it's not even dark out yet, but I was just singing a childhood song.
I am watching the Braves preseason game, doing some laundry and being a bum. It's ironic that I've been busy every single night this week, so I'm sitting at home on a Friday. I don't usually feel the need to find stuff to do on weekend nights. In fact, I find that I use them to reenergize more often than not.
Today I really sealed the deal on my nutrition log. We had a bunch of food leftover from yesterday's work prom, so I was eating cookies by 9:00 a.m. I was actually eating them at 7:35 a.m., but I went ahead and just put when I finally stopped in order to save some embarrassment. Whatever!!! Hopefully eating like a slob doesn't disqualify me from the study.
Tomorrow I have two little biopsies taken from my shoulder blade for the study. I'll need to think of a really cool story for what happened. I guess I'll have to see how the scars look before I make up something good. Depending on how close they are, maybe it will be a staple gun fight wound.
Well, I have had a successful week. I rode on a bike wearing a snorkel, I made grown men in construction cry, I announced the first work prom king/queen and will get in a staple gun fight tomorrow at 8:00 a.m. AWESOME!

Nutrition Log
So, I am participating in this study testing salt loss in the sweat of individuals with CF when exercising. Was that confusing? Anyways, as part of the study, I am supposed to keep a nutrition log of what I eat for the three days prior to the second half of the study. Well, I am nearing the end of my second day of logging what I eat.
Have you ever written down what you're eating? Man, it's eye-opening. These evaluators are going to think I must be a total headcase. Of course I've been at events both afternoons/evenings of my first two days. So, after coffee in the morning, they will see that I ate jelly beans yesterday and gummy bears today. Then, I've had the same exact sub sandwich for lunch both days (half yesterday and half today).
However, since I have been at little 'cocktailish' events, I have had very unusual eating patterns. I could see them being concerned that I have been drinking alcoholic beverages at 5:00 p.m. and 2:55 p.m. on a weekday. Hopefully they'll be able to infer that my dinner last night of 3 baby quiches, 2 tiny turkey sandwich squares, 8 cheese cubes, 1 cucumber sushi roll and 1 two-bite brownie was not a meal I prepared for myself.
There are days that I do eat somewhat legitimate meals, but of course I don't have to keep a mandatory log on a day that I look like a civil human being.
