weird day

Make that weird, WEIRD day, people. There was some bad, and some very good. I am totally bullet-listing it. You can't stop me!

- Bad: I spent the later part of the morning at work feeling very, very nauseous, for reasons I still can't discern. I hadn't eaten anything that would upset my stomach. This got a lot worse when I got in my car to drive to the afternoon mini-golf outing for work, and I won't elaborate, but I felt downright wretched. Luckily for me, the drive to the outing took me right by Casa de LesleyParents, and I was able to stop there, drink some mint tea, and get myself feeling better before the big outing. I think that either I had a fast-moving virus or maybe Seymour the Pouch was just having a bad day.

- Good: I was able to make it to the outing, albeit a little late. People kept asking me if I got lost on the way there, which is hilarious considering that the golf place is about halfway between my parents' house and my sister's house, and I've been driving past it going to and fro for about 12 years. As an added bonus, I won one of the door prizes: a $10 gift card to Whole Foods!

- Bad: That $10 gift card will most likely end up costing me $50 in Whole Foods purchases. You know how that goes. I am weak.

- Good: I hadn't seen the president of Startup-dot-org in a long, long time -- probably about a year -- until today. He rather enthusiastically congratulated me on my weight loss, and asked me about how I've done it and how I'm feeling, and well, he was so nice about it that I almost cried, because me = really big sap, as you know. It did remind me, though, of why I'm glad I work for the dot-org -- the people are for the most part very cool and nice like that.

- Bad: Someone was very, very mean to me at the gym. I don't really want to talk about it because it will make me very sad and very angry to tell it again. I handled it, but still, it made me feel bad. Sometimes I am just not a fan of the human race. I mean, I love the world, just not all the people.

- Good: I am typing this while sitting on the couch, sipping mint tea (Tazo Refresh! Accept no substitutes!), wearing a Snuggie, with an orange kitteh curled up next to me. Not a bad ending to a weird day.
