Taking a sick day
The only good that has come out of this flu is it's contribution to my diet. I've lost 8 lbs in the last two weeks. Mostly that's because of my repressed appetite. Two days ago I ate burger king and a baked potato, yesterday just two bowls of rocky road ice cream and three bottles of water, and today an orange and a blue mug full of piping hot chai tea. Bridesmaid gown, here I come.
I really want to go horseback riding when I feel better. I wish Stanzie was here to go with me because that's a passion we've always shared. Frankly, I'm shocked we've never been riding together.
James broke his foot again. The stress-fracture is the easiest to re-injure and it means we won't be able to do infantry work for the Marines. This is both good and bad news. He just txted me to say it means he'll either be discharged or moved to a different position than infantry. More on that later cause I can't do it right now.
I can't believe I'm already behind in my classes. Mom is right, if I wasn't working everything would be a lot easier. I just can't afford to not work, especially with this new job putting me in a lower pay bracket for more hours.
I txted Jeff yesterday to tell him that I had been watching a Law & Order: SVU marathon for the previous nine hours. He responded with "It's Marishka's Birthday Marathon afterall" =) It was a nice moment. I'm glad we're doing better.
Laurel and Senga and I have been talking a good bit more. Which I'm very pleased with (even though Laurel CoNsTaNtLy guilt-trips me about my shotty friendship track-record with her). We're hoping to take a vacation together this year sometime. Aggie wants Boston and Laurel and I don't. I like Florida and they don't. Laurel likes Santa Fe and Aggie and I don't. We can't seem to agree on anything- including dates and budget lol. Not that theres much budget to speak of anyway. Aggie gave me this song. She said it should remind me of Corpse Bride. I suppose it does.
