Day 11

It's been one of those days. You know the ones. Everything is fine. Until it's time to go home. It was one of the most uneventful days ever. Everybody was in their place. All operations were running smoothly. No one was complaining about things we couldn't change. Then it all went haywire right at quitting time. The server for the computer system is about to be completely kaput. It's driving us all crazy. But, we're all doing our share of helping it limp along until we can do something about it. Tonight, it decided that it wanted special attention, so I was sitting on the phone with technical support until after midnight. Finally, I was free to go home.

Or so I thought, I got about a minute away from the hotel and got a phone call about a key to a door that until tonight I had been led to believe did not exist! Needless to say, I went back to investigate and after a good 45 minutes of guesswork, was able to finally solve the puzzle...and actually leave to drive home.

Let's get to the good stuff. I know, I know, it's time for the menu. But first, let me tell you how awesome Lisa is.

On nights like this, I want comfort food. I want scrambled eggs & cheese with grits & toast and coca-cola. So I asked Lisa if she wanted to meet me at the Waffle House. She said she wanted to but shouldn't. I said I shouldn't but I wanted to and I was starving. Know what she did?? She volunteered to finish preparing my night time meal at home! She sautee'd my squash for me and put it in the oven to keep it warm. She kept me from doing something I would have immediately regretted. And that was some darn good squash!!

I managed to consume 12 whole glasses of water today. That is a lot. But, it's a lot closer to what I'm actually suppossed to be consuming that what I've been getting.

I had every intention of heading to the gym after work to start my c25k program. Unfortunately, all of the hoopla at work derailed that plan. I will get there eventually.
