Super Bowl Party
Eldred and I finally got out of the house and socialized on Sunday at victoriapringle's house. I had to work, so I convinced Eldred to come with me and hang out in the library. After work we went by Whole Foods to get some fancy cheese, crackers, and baby carrots for the party and some veggies and apples for this week.
By the time we arrived the Super Bowl was on and the party was in full swing. I had a raging headache all day so I wasn't very sociable. I mostly sat on a chair and variously tuned in to conversations or the TV. It was still great to see folks we haven't seen in ages. I dutifully stayed away from the fresh homemade chocolate chip cookies (wah!) and the white bread. I had some chili that was yummy and snacked on rice crackers, carrots, tomatoes, and cheese.
Later in the evening I started feeling a bit better and perked up enough to have a fun conversation with fibergeek. She drew out a pattern for a Viking apron dress for me, so I might actually have new garb for Ymir. I discovered when I got home that I have an almost completely wool underdress. It just needs to be hemmed. Yay!
The headache came back yesterday morning. It wasn't bad though so I went to Labcorp to have blood taken for the tests the doctor wants. I had to give up 5 vials. The person doing it was good and barely even left a mark on my arm. The needles don't bother me; it's the fasting that gets me. I scarfed down some almonds and rice crackers as soon as I was done. When I got to work I drank my protein drink. Now I wait for the results and see what new tortures I have to endure. :-)
I managed to go workout after work on Saturday. I remembered most of what I was supposed to do. I forgot how to set up one thing so I skipped it. I pretty much hit everything I had Tuesday and wasn't sore Sunday. I go back today for a training session. We are doing legs and shoulders. I expect to be barely walking by the time I leave. I want to eventually get on an every other day routine. I figure every 3 days is not bad to start with.
Today the headache is finally gone. The weather changed, which probably had a lot to do with it. Yesterday around noon when I arrived at work it was about 60. When I left at 9pm, it was *much* colder. This morning it was 27 when I left. Brrr...
