Today’s pretty much like yesterday in terms of the weather.  I wore my wool jacket and my new scarf and gloves.  I need to buy a hat to match, as I didn’t see anything at Kohl’s on Sunday. 

Yesterday dragged for me at work.  I need to get back into the groove at the office.  This cold has depressed me - I hate being sick.  Feeling better today, and I’m sure I’ll shake this thing sooner or later. 

Food went off track at night, but not too badly.  Until I logged in all the cough drops I had throughout the day.  Boo.  Today I will see if I can get by w/ fewer cough drops and my water and tea.  I didn’t exercise last night.

This morning I woke up a bit before 5:30 and tried to get back to sleep, but couldn’t.  So I got up and did a Body Electric workout.  Just one 30 min. show - biceps, triceps, hamstrings, inner thighs and obliques.  It’s somehow more palatable to exercise upstairs in front of the living room TV instead of in the basement, but then the furnace kicked on right after I started and I soon got really warm.  So now I’ve decided it’s probably better to do the exercise in the basement.  It’s cool when I start, but once I get warmed up it’s fine.

Today the new admin and I will meet w/ the lead admin to have her show us several of the tasks that she currently does that will transition to the new admin once the lead is gone.  I’m not looking forward to it, but it needs to be done.  The lead has been acting very pissy - you wouldn’t think she was voluntarily leaving this job to go to a new job in a new department.  The boss thinks it’s because we’re not all upset about her going and worrying how we’ll live without her.  That’s for sure.  I’ll be happy when she’s gone, I just wish we still wouldn’t have to see her on our floor. 

Tonight’s the movies.  I voted for Law Abiding Citizen again, but again another movie was picked.  The Box, which seems to be getting bad reviews.  I’m thinking of skipping the movie tonight.  Lately it just seems like we’re not seeing such great movies.  Or maybe I’m tired of seeing a mix of both mediocre and good movies and now prefer to spend my valuable time only seeing the ones I’m interested in.  So I might just tell our leader that I won’t vote anymore, but she can still e-mail me to tell me what they’ve chosen and I’ll join them if I want to see what they chose.  I miss going to the movies w/ bf, so maybe I’ll see if he wants to start going to the movies together on Tuesday nights.  We’ll see.  I think it would be fun to plan a night for us like that, regardless of whether we go out to a theater or watch a Netflix movie. 

I think tomorrow I’ll try and get up early and exercise in the morning again.  I like the idea of getting exercise done in the morning.  It’s idea is appealing, but the reality is more difficult. 

Okay, I’ll publish this and get back to work.
