i think i have ascertained the cause of my feeling sick after supper and when i wake up - i think i can't tolerate sugar very well anymore. i got away from baking (even though i'd eat a little dough and not the finished product) and stopped snacking and eating desserts for awhile. last weekend i snacked a bit and had dessert and i felt sick, tired, and irritable, so i think i just can't handle sugar very well anymore - oh well, i guess that's better for my waistline anyway....(only 10 more lbs. to go!!!) i'll just save the sweets for those special occasions...it's not worth feeling sick over. there was an article in RW that said that people who are fit need to exercise every day to maintain their positive feelings and happiness - after more than a couple days of inactivity - their moods drop significantly and become irritable and tired....hmmmm...proof the human body has to move - it was built to move!
but yeah....had cross this morning - 20 minutes hard then weight room. surprisingly wasn't bad at all, i wanted to push harder the entire run, but we had to at least try to stick together...yupyupyup. (hmm...i better start adding soccer stuff to the daily routine in order to get the right endurance to be able to compete and not be just adequately doing both soccer and cross country - hmm....looking at the schedule and it looks like ONCE AGAIN we're having a tournament in Madison around Homecoming, hopefully not the day of like last year [actually that was both homecoming AND prom....gotta love driving 15 over to get home, take a quick shower, throwing up the hair and throwing the dress on....lol, i prob. wouldn't have it any other way, besides, i had no date to impress anyway, so who cares? lol!]
Dad's birthday today, called him at work and Em and i sang him Happy Birthday and he thanked us but he's been trying to make everyone forget that he has a birthday. we won't celebrate tonight b/c a) Dad wants to go kickboxing, which is fine b/c he's the birthday boy b)it's Mom's late night so she won't get home until 9:30 PM (and she probably will have forgotten to eat ALL day as usual...) c)Monica's not home d)it's just nuts today, so we'll celebrate probably on Monday night or when I'm back from Panama.
but yeah...Dad and I are heading down to St. Louis on Friday morning early (2 AM in order to make a 10:30 AM tour at SLU, Sat. we're visiting Wash U. it's a good thing Dad and I are morning people!) to visit SLU and Wash U. and Monica at her internship at Boeing. Coming back Sun. night, have cross in the morning on Monday, then Senior pix meeting at 4, then out to dinner, then leave Tues morning (be at airport at 6:45 AM at the latest) for Panama! EEEK!!!!!!!!! going shopping today to get gifts for my family - there is a nine year old boy, a ten year old girl, a thirteen year old girl, and a twenty year old girl and i assume the parents are still together. it still hasn't hit me yet....
it still doesn't really feel like summer, it feels more like it than it did, but it's been so hectic and i've only slept in a grand total of maybe 4 days this summer plus the weather - maybe that's why. finished Siddhartha - i like it a lot - very thought-provoking and philosophical - but you definitely have to be in the right frame of mind to read it. i still have to buy Crime and Punishment.
yay, the sun is coming out!!!
