Great. Now I am projecting my issues on the dog. Sigh.

Went to a very friendly volunteer appreciation lunch today, ok, why has no one ever TOLD me how many calories in potato salad? I almost choked when I logged it in a few moments ago. Not that there were any lo-cal choices but I might not have had that big scoop. Oh well, it was a very nice event and I enjoyed it immensely.

I am so tired. Combo of flu/cold crap and work stress. Tomorrow aft I am heading out of town, staying til Tuesday. I might get to take my eldest to dinner; depends on his exam and work schedule. Complex logistics involved.

Friday and Saturday are going to be big, bad, party nights. Fri I will be at my bestest friends house…wine, pizza, fried stuff and probably chocolate something or other will be on the menu; Sat is my sister’s 40th and more of the above are in store. And you know what? I am not going to stress out about any of it. I am going to kick back, enjoy the weekend and the company and if I feel like indulging I will. One weekend does not a lifetime make. So there!

I know I will walk a LOT Friday and Monday, all over the downtown core, weather permitting. I love walking the streets of big cities.

For tonight, exercise ticker is up another 85 minutes - new route. Yay me. And calories - well, over 1,700 (thanks to potato salad, and, ok, cake) but still in the range. Can’t move the ticker though - have to stay honest.
