Get in your pillow

Greetings from someone who looks like a threat to national security. I am all hooked up to my monitoring vest to count my coughs and what not. I wouldn't mess with me if I saw me wearing this outfit. I have on this black vest with a choker and it's all connected to a machine that sits inside of a fanny pack. The funniest part about it is that the fanny pack is The North Face brand. I'm glad it isn't some knock-off since I want to go out in public like this. Oh wait, NOOOOO! Only because you care about my life and wouldn't be reading this if you didn't...


Aren't you intimidated? Are you ready for the cute part, though?! Because I have to wear this for 24 hours (which obviously includes sleeping in it), the machine has a little pillow it goes in for bed! I know I shouldn't be excited about it, but aww! I already put him into his little pillow because I thought it would be adorable. It was actually really anticlimactic, but I did get to take off the fanny pack.

Today was a pretty decent day. I finalized some benefit show items, and am hoping to get the go-ahead to market that tomorrow. I want it to be a big hit, so I'm excited to get started! Drew's Crew looks to be ending the day at $13,105, which makes me happy.

I've been keeping this food journal for the OTHER study, and it's actually pretty embarrassing. It says to note if my eating habits are exceptionally unusual during this three-day period for any reason. And, although I wish there was a reason I could say they're weird, I'm just a weird eater. The evaluator is going to be ashamed of me. And my friend SR would be, too! :-) I mean, eating is clearly not my strong-suit. I do plenty of it, but the habits are sooo not what I learned in school.

What else? I feel kind of giddy like there's stuff I'm forgetting to say, but I have no idea what that could be. Oh - thought of one! I am excited because a friend is bringing me lunch tomorrow. I am seriously not leaving the house like this - more for society's sake than my own vanity - so it will be nice to have food catered. Plus, I wasn't expecting to interact with any humans during this 24-hour period, so I'm glad to be wrong.

I'm excited to do some improvising tomorrow! We have had all kinds of different renditions of rehearsal, so it's been a while since we've really played games and what not.

Well, I think I better start getting ready for bed. I don't want to be like this, but the Braves are actually horrible. I mean, holy mackerel. Their patheticism is incredible. I don't even know why I am still watching this mess.

Coincidence

Sometimes I read entirely too much into coincidences. I have no idea why I even felt the need to say that because I'm not going to explain what I mean by that. Vague, I know. Moving right along...

A friend treated me to a nice night out on the town, and we hadn't hung out in a while, so I was glad to spend time with her! First we went out to eat at Cheeseburger in Paradise. Given the nastiness of the weather today, I figured it would be nice to escape to the tropics, despite watching the rain through the window. We enjoyed catching up and talking about life, which is always a crowd-pleaser in my book. Then we headed to Cafe Intermezzo where we grabbed some hot chocolate and continued our discussion! I also opened a sweet gift from her - a HUGE bag of Haribo gummy bears AND a gift card to the movies. I need to start getting up-to-speed with current movies so that I can use it wisely! Anyway, I considered tonight my birthday celebration for the most part, and it was time well-spent; it got me thinking.

I got some donations today! I am really appreciative, and the team is sitting at $12,100. I'm hoping to bring home some bacon on my birthday, so I've got high hopes for that! Let's celebrate!

Making that text a hyperlink made me think about the fact that I'm getting kind of good at HTML stuff. I dabble in it at work and have been using it some here and there for different fundraising things, and I actually like it. Basically it's like a brainteaser of sorts, so maybe I should look into learning more... DORK!

I haven't done too much that's noteworthy today... or yesterday. I got enrolled in ANOTHER study that I'll do on Thursday, so I have to start keeping a food journal tomorrow. I hope I don't forget. I don't have a printer, so I'm going to keep track in a gangsterfied way until I can get it printed.

Umm, that's about it. I am feeling motivated in many senses of the word!
