Sick or not sick
Tuesday, November 13th 2007
So today about 10 or so I started feeling achey and feverish. Oh no...Hankreatitis. I sat and stared at my lunch and forced down a sweet potato. I shivered and then sweated. I decided that hell or high water, I had to finish the RAM lecture, so I did.By 1:30 I was feeling better. Kids left. After school I decided to get dressed to run, and if I got out and felt even slightly "ick" I'd just hop in the car and go home, canceling my swim date with Lisa tonight.
Well lo and beh...
It's a chilly rainy Monday

It sure feels like Fall here today! Windstorms woke me up all night last night. I love windstorms, although the waving of the trees in the neighbor's yard sometimes makes me worry about them falling on our house. But we lived in a house with two trees that tall right next to it as a kid and they never fell over. They're pretty deep rooted.

The barista told me they had my story up in the back. (That's not why I love them...LOL) I love that they get to know their customers. It just feels ...

It all started in 2006. My friend, Linda, said she wanted to run the NYC Marathon. I agreed that someday, I too wanted to run the NYC marathon! We decided that when the sign ups opened, we'd throw our names into the lottery and we'd run by 2010! Because there are so many entries in New York, they hold a lottery for people who haven't qualified. If you don't get chosen to run the first two times you put your name into the lot...
Huh? Wha?

I walk into the Y today to go lift weights and someone says, "There she is!" and everyone in the lobby starts applauding.I just kind of stood there like, "Um, what is going on?" I can be so dense sometimes.
Anyhow, they had all seen the article and none of them knew that I'd lost so much weight. I forget that I don't carry this permanently attached sign that says "Formerly Flabulous". I just assume everyone knows I used to be charmingly chubby.
