An Update Before Hashing in the Hague
I’m quite sick with a cold and it caused me to lose my appetite earlier in the week and sleep quite a lot. I dropped two pounds in a day. But I think I might gain some weight while I’m in the Netherlands this weekend. On the one hand, I should be getting a lot of exercise. On the other, the only meal that is described on our hash program is pizza, and I tend to eat a lot when I travel because I eat at every available opportunity. My whole schedule of eating (and sleeping and everything else) gets thrown off and I tend to eat whenever food is put in front of me, for fear that it will be a very long time before it happens again.
So, here’s a quick update on things in my life:
Work has been pretty busy, as we’re preparing for a conference and I’m also trying to help a bit to cover for a coworker who’s taking two weeks of vacation. But everything is going well, I think.
Things with Chris are excellent. We’re going to have a three-day weekend together next weekend. He’ll get here next Thursday, and I’m looking forward to spending time with him, although my apartment looks like a tornado hit it. I’ll have to deal with that when I get back from the Netherlands.
David pissed me off last week by never answering that email. He knew I was out of town this weekend, so he left me alone but tried to see me Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday nights. I ignored him on Monday, sparred with him via text message on Tuesday, and nearly indulged him on Wednesday but I was too sick to want to go out plus I had my counseling appointment on Thursday morning. I apologized, but now I think he’s mad at me. Oops.
I’m going to the Netherlands with Leslie and Caroline. Dirk will be there. I haven’t seen him since August, and we haven’t been in very close contact in the past few months because he’s always traveling for work or I’m busy with Chris. I’m curious to see how that will go over. It’s a big party with 100 people attending, so I don’t even need to hang out with him but I’m looking forward to seeing him.
Diet and exercise are going well, but the whole catching-a-cold thing has sort of thrown it off. I can’t wait to be healthy again, and I hope I’m not wheezing and sneezing my way through The Hague. If I am, though, at least it’ll be an experience.
