2.8 - Incognito Man

My green pants shrunk so now I have to wear them with boots or look silly.
Jeans: Limited, Sweater: Express, Boots: Famous Footwear, Necklace: Charlotte Russe

I got donuts in the morning except it was more like 11 am. They didn't have the kind I wanted though.The cashier tried to talk me into 2 dozen donuts. I never had anyone try so hard to talk me into 2 dozen. They didn't even have the kinds I wanted. I was even debating less than a full dozen. The cashier was flirting with me. He said he'd see me tomorrow. Ha. I thought I was looking nice that morning (aka not fat and gutty) and I guess he noticed.

Dave got back from his ski trip and we went to Tia Juana's for dinner. We were away for over a day so we actually had things to talk about.

At the ski trip they gave out capes. Dave got incognito man. He made Poly incognito kitty. She didn't like it very much.

He was exhausted from his trip even though he didn't ski at all. The snowboarding boots wouldn't fit his feet/calves.

I discovered the bruise on my leg a few days before taking this picture. I have no idea how I got it and it's a pretty big bruise too.

Dave and I watched Iowa Caucus news all evening.

I guess it was already the 1st when I went to sleep.  I went to sleep around 5:30 AM.  I set my alarm for 10am. I hit snooze once. I got up. I got ready. I went to take a nap but couldn't because my tooth hurt so much.

Then I hit the road to head home.  I got home and watched In Treatment with Dave.  We ended up watching 2 episodes which didn't work well for my plan. During the first episode Dave wanted to know if I wanted to go to North Park and walk with him. I can never turn him down.

We went and walked but since we watched 2 episodes, I knew I'd be a tiny bit late to Adrienne's.  Well 2.28 (and 2.22) miles from the car a bit storm comes in. We stopped under a pavilion to wait out the storm and sideways rain. Well this put me even more behind schedule.  Plus now that meant I couldn't just go home and change and head out the door.

I was so late. I at least sent a warning text I'd be late.  Man I hate being late. I was so stressed.   I was supposed to arrive at 4 and have us eat at 5 and I arrived at 5. I'm the worst. I hate me. I hate when people are late and I was late.  They told me not to worry about it but I couldn't help myself.  As I was leaving Dave told me to pretend that it starts at 6:30 and I'm early. Like that would ever work!

We had a very nice time. Callie was there.  It was just their family, Callie, and me.  I think Dave would have liked it if it wasn't on at the same time as the Steeler Game.  He didn't go. They said they understood but it is just really annoying that Dave never goes.

We left around 8:45. After I got home, I finally got to analyze my data from my race and run the previous day. I never even look at my mile splits. I've never gone that long without looking at race data. I rarely go that long without looking at normal run data.

I spent so long at my computer that I was exhausted. It was even only midnight.

I was at work without Dave. He was already on vacation for the rest of the year.

I bought cheese and fruit for lunch. It said it came with crakcers and it did not. Also that wasn't pepper jack cheese. At least I can see instead of listening to what it said.  I kind of didn't like the strawberry taste on my cheese.  I did like that I had my own crackers at my desk and crackers didn't waste room in my little container.  It was a very good lunch.  It did take me about 3 hours to eat it though.

After work Dave and I went to Carino's then to Ikea to buy my mom her Christmas present.  There was a ton of traffic.

After we got home, I made and wrote some Christmas cards.  I stayed up past 2am working on them to get them done so they can be mailed.

Day 2: Red  (you can join Color Rotation anytime. It makes getting dressed fun.)
Shirt: NY&Co
Sweater: Express
Pants: Gap
Shoes: JCP
Necklace: NY&Co

The shirt is for red not the shoes!   I layered up since Monday was so cold and it was 53 degrees in the afternoon. I guess I need to pay better attention to the weather.  All these after work pictures have my hair looking like crap. I guess I should brush it first.  Also my camera remote isn't working. It is very annoying. I got too used to it.

I got to work at 7am. I left work around 5. Then we headed to pick up my car. Got home, changed, and went to go to the track to run, ran a measly 2 miles, walked 1 lap, then left. We got home and ordered pizza. Watched TV. Didn't do much. Was pretty tired.

During my run, I didn't run slow. I ran 2 miles in ~16:40 (approximate because I didn't type my numbers yet)  My best lap was lap 5 at 1:57. Laps 1 through 5 were constantly improving but I was still running with a limp.  I decided my calf/leg would just get worse so I would take it easy and not injure myself worse. I still don't know what was wrong.  Later on in the evening I tried to walk holding Poly and I couldn't handle it. The extra weight of a little cat made it bad.  I didn't take any medicine or anything.  When I was in bed trying to go to sleep I thought of getting ice because my left calf/shin hurt and my right foot hurt. I was too lazy to get ice though so I didn't.

I did run 3 out of 4 days. I also didn't take a rest day on Monday like I should have. Perhaps it is all adding up. Perhaps all the pain is all in my head because I'm worrying about the marathon. Perhaps it is something real and I think it is all in my head and then I'll end up with an injury.

Outfit for work:
Cami: Express
Cardigan: Express
Skirt: Express
Shoes: Famous Footwear
Necklace: Target

Outfit after work (and I can't remember why I changed clothes or if I went anywhere)
Sweater: Express
Cami: Express
Jean's Express
Shoes: Famous Footwear
Necklace Sears

(Express clothing and Famous Footwear shoes seem to be a theme.)

What didn't work: The camis was too long for the cardigan and the sweater. I was constantly folding over the cami so it wouldn't stick out too far.

The outfit worked so well that I was able to pack up my cube to move buildings at work. Apparently I was supposed to assume to break the dress code at work and wear jeans. I did not do this. Lots of others did.  I was still able to pack in my pantyhose and skirt and I felt better about it.  We had to be packed at noon and couldn't work in our cubes after that.  I went and did Body Combat at lunch because of this and then I headed home to work.  I worked my full allotment. Starting around 2 I was checking who in my group and who that was moving was on Communicator (program like AIM) and well nobody except my manager was on.  I guess everyone else assumed that you had to be packed by noon and then could head home to work but not really work.  A very similar thing happened 15 months ago when I moved from Monroeville to Cranberry; nobody else ever works. I did take breaks to take these pictures of Poly but that is a very short break. It would take longer to get up and get water at work.

Dave was on vacation this day so he was home doing whatever. He read for a long time while I was at the kitchen table working. Poly hung out with him.

Dave got up so Poly stole his seat.

 A lot later that night, Poly was resting on Dave so cute that I got up to take her picture.
