Life isn’t really like a box of chocolates… May 28, 2008
… it’s more like a jar of jalapenos. What you do today may burn your ass tomorrow!
Poor Lucy is learning that lesson the hard way. She decided to excavate another trashcan yesterday. There were some (expired) raw eggs that had been there for a day or so, some Taco Hell leftovers from Friday, just to mention a few of the digusting things I foudn smeared all over my kitchen. Needless to say, today left her not feeling so well. Which, unfortunately, lead to my diet demise today.
So this morning hubby texts me to say that darling Lucy has the runs, what should he do with her? My response- put her in her crate for the day. We can’t leave her outside for the day and I would like to contain the chaos. Well, on my lunchbreak, I swing by the house. I open the door… oh no. The smell is immediate and awful. The sight… blech. My darling deliberately broke out fo her crate for, presumably, the sole purpose of contaminating my house. There are several biohazard dump sites all over. Good thing I wasn’t hungry when I got home, because my emergency steam clean/decon project definitely killed any desire I ever had for food.
So I get back to work and rush off to yet another fabulous staff meeting. Gag me. I fell victim to the cookies. Ugh. Afterwards, my stomach just felt jittery (I’d felt like this all day) and finally faced the fact that I needed to eat something. The hospital cafeteria had stopped serving lunch at this point (3:00) and I needed something fast. So… ‘Donald’s drive thru. Bleh. But, ti was the most satisfying meal I’ve had in a while, weird as that sounds.
I didn’t get any exercise in again tonight… due to youth group. And, I didn’t get a chance to eat dinner beforehand. So, by the time we get home, we’re starving. And hit TacoBell. Ew. Ugh.
I will add that I did prepare a nice home cooked meal for Lucy. Boiled chicken and rice with a little bit of pumpkin to help with her digestive issues. And, naturally, all the fat and skin was removed to make it easier on her tummy. I swear, if I could put as much effort into taking care of me as I put into taking care of her, I would be much skinnier!
Now, as tonight’s eyecandy/motivation… a pair of trail running shoes I’m in lust with. I can see little glimpses of myself, through the trees, hurdling over logs with my sleek legs and cute shoes.
