    My coworker uses the same Powerade bottle to refill with water each day.  I'm pretty sure she never changes it, or washes it.  I've shared an office with her for months and I sometimes get ill thinking about the kind of stuff growing in her bottle.

    I really need to develop better study habits. I am scheduled to take my PMP exam (for Project Management Certification) on June 30th and I have hardly studied at all. I took the week off prior to the test to devote the time to studying, but with balancing home and work already, I just don't have time.

    I went to the nutritionist last week.  She gave us a new way to eat where we have to figure dietary exchanges and watch portions and stuff.  I thought it would help but I swear it's done nothing but make me hungrier.  I don't know if it's going to be worth it in the end if I'm hangry all the time.

    I went to the doctor for a bum knee and ended up spending $60 in co-pays; was forced to make an appt for a full physical; forced to get a tetanus shot; had to get bloodwork done; had x-rays; finally got a referral for an orthoapeadic guy; and got told that I just have stupid wonky knees and I will always have problems with them and that I will just have to "learn to live with it".  

    This is why I don't go to the doctors people. 

    So I went out and ran 4 miles this morning "living" with the pain in my knee.  And I will be running a 10k this weekend "living" with it as well.  But I fully expect my husband to be at the finish line with an ice pack.

    I find that it takes me a week or so to adjust to a new eating style, regardless of what the change is.  If you're still hungry a lot, I would talk to her again.  I'm no nutritionist, but I would think there has to be some more compromise if the alternative is wanting to cave to a half gallon of ice cream because you're so hungry, you know?

    It's not necessarily the sugar that I'm missing.  I found out that I'm diabetic a couple of months ago so I've really cut down on sugars themselves.  I think it's the volume.  I'm not eating as much as I used to, you know?  I know I need to cut down on portion sizes but I don't WANT to.  I like eating.

    Sorry, my ice cream example was poor.  Replace that with your snack of choice.

    I remember the first time I looked at a Lean Cuisine for lunch I almost got mad.  That's ALL I'm supposed to eat?? I think that's when I realized my portion control was a bit wonky.

    Last night I woke up in the middle of the night with the most painful Charley horse in the calf EVER. It lasted for like 10 minutes. I thought my leg would curl up into itself and fall off. :(

    I should have stopped at Starbucks this morning.  I'm seriously regretting this decision to be on time to work.


    Also, I'm irrationally excited about the bookmark exchange.

    I always laugh at myself at little when I rock out to my Christian Contemporary music. There's just something about it that strikes me as funny. Oh well. It puts me in a great mood.

    I am really interested to hear how the barre class goes.  I'm afraid to go into one by myself for some reason.  I have a video that I do somewhat regularly.  Its kind of hard!  I shake when I do it.

    Ditto.  That is why I would love to be able to run an 8:00 mile.  That would certainly make me puke or die.

    My allergies are killing me today so I'm in a crappy mood, which is probably where my randoms come from but it's more likely I'm just sick of the jerks I deal with at work.

    1. One of my clients emailed me 4 times in less than a half hour and called me about dumb issues because she has probably planned making documentation.  She sent me one final email yesterday that said if you can't answer today email me that you'll reply tomorrow.  I so badly wanted to reply with our company about response times highlighted in yellow.  
    2. I told someone they could not install our offline software without encryption a few days ago, she replied back can you make an exception.  I really wanted to reply no means no.  

    I'm just crabby and I should go home.

    Our company hired a temp while I was on leave and I only see/interact with her at lunch but that's enough time for her to annoy the crap out of me after only 4 days. So I am kind of glad she is only a temp.

    @Shepherdjel‌ ‌ I think it's awesome you pumped for this long for twins! I have a hard time keeping up for just one baby.

    Whether or not you find your own way, you're bound to find some way. If you happen to find my way, please return it, as it was lost years ago. I imagine by now it's quite rusty.”
