4.5

I was so busy at work but felt like I didn't actually get anything done.  I talked for the first time in Toastmasters.

I was going to go to the gym after work but since I got an allergy shot, I wasn't feeling very well.  My arm was swollen and sore. I was also sneezing like crazy. My throat hurt. But the reason that put it over the edge was that I also had a headache.

I got home from work around 6:30.  I read my Toastmasters book until dinner. Then watched TV. It was a fake Friday so I wanted to watch more TV and relax.  I put my hair in some french braids as practice.  I'm debating doing that for a race sometime.  We then went upstairs around 10PM. I did some KenKen and went right to sleep.

Picking out my clothes Monday night really helped. I was able to get ready so fast.  I made it to work before 7:30.   I had a normal super busy day at work.

I really tried to leave at 4 but too much was going on.  I ended up leaving at 4:20 and heading to meet Jen to run.  At least I texted her a few times about how I was behind so she knew not to leave work.

We ran.

I analyzed data. I showered. I ate. I watched MSNBC. I watched the State of the Union. Poly watched too.

Oh what a tiring day.  I brought my work laptop home and work home but I ran out of time to use it.

It is amazing how different a color can look in a picture than in real life. The shirt I wore here is the same color as the shirt on 10/19. Just look at them. They look crazy different.  I took both pictures when it was still dark outside. The lighting inside was different since I was in different rooms.

I woke up early and went to Body Pump.  I ate a protein bar after that.
I packed leftover spaghetti and had that for lunch, but then my 1:00 meeting provided lunch so I had a second lunch. It was subway. The only subs that were on the regular bread were some meat that I had no idea what it was. I took it anyway. I ate it. I still have no idea what meat it was.  Then I went to dinner with Dave and since I did that it was earlier than we normally eat dinner.  Not only did I eat my normal nachos and cheese but I ate more of them than normal and I ate an enchilada. I normally don't eat breakfast but I did with the protein bar and then I was hungrier all day long.

After work we watched some TV. I almost forgot to take my daily picture before changing my clothes. I am not liking this lack of daylight anymore.

I used the exercise bike in the evening but only for 20 minutes. I felt like a slacker for only going for 20 minutes but I did already have 1 workout in the morning so I shouldn't have felt like a slacker.  I did eat way more than normal so that's probably why I started to feel like a slacker.

Cardigan: Express
Tank: Gap (too big. I need to pin it in the back. I pulled the extra fabric in the back for the pictures but as I move it comes undone)
Skirt: Black House White Market
Necklace: NY&Co.
Shoes: not sure but Mudd shoes

Three new things are worn in this picture.  I had 2 necklace choices but went with my new necklace instead. Now I have to see what I'll wear with this next time.

I decided I need some simple earrings because when I wear a big necklace I don't have earrings to wear since most of the earrings I have are big and bold too and the boldness clashes.

I drove an hour to work again. This time I slept in a little since technically we didn't start until 8:30.

I worked.  I worked longer than most.

Then I went to my parents house and we went to Texas Roadhouse for dinner.  Then we went to Sam's club. I bought a center piece for Christmas.  Then we headed home. We made a stop at Kerber's for some ice cream on the way.  (I got my ice cream in a cup with a cone on top because it is easier to handle that way.) After we got home, we went for a ride in my mom's new van. Well she's had it over a month but I hadn't seen it yet.   I realized around my parents house a ton of people decorate for Halloween. I think more of them do that then my neighborhood decorates for Christmas.

Face-time with Dave and Poly from my parents house

It was 9PM by the time I got home. I was going to run but I was too tired.   But then I ended up watching TV and using my computer. I kept falling asleep looking at youtube videos on how to curl hair. I was trying to master how the girl on Unforgettable curls her hair. I didn't really find a good way to do it.

I kept getting texts or comments from Dave about how Poly was waiting at the top of the steps for me. It kept making me feel bad. As soon as I'd forget about it, I'd get another text or another picture. 

I went to sleep at a little after 11. I guess I would had time to get a few miles in. I'm bummed I didn't get anything in. I didn't even do an ab workout.   Auditing is sure tiring.
