Some Down Time

Yesterday was so productive! Our internet has been down for about a week, so I wound up staying home most of the day to wait on the repairman. While doing so, I was able to do some much-needed organizing in the kitchen - it's a whole new place in there! I found items I didn't even know we had. Before the repairman came, I was also able to swing over to the Coldwell Banker office I'll be working from in January - I attended their weekly meeting and was introduced to everyone. I felt rather out of place, being a full blooded biologist, but everyone seemed welcoming and kind, so that was wonderful. Hopefully I can be successful in my new endeavor!

Beyond that, I was also able to schedule a dentist appointment for the afternoon and had the cleaning I was long overdue for. From there, I got a haircut - it was such a productive day! I felt unbeatable.

That evening, Nate and I met Bob for dinner at Landry's - a seafood place that I usually love. For some reason, though, this evening's food seemed excessively greasy and I wound up feeling really off that night. Today I was afflicted with food poisoning and wound up staying home again. I just couldn't do anything without feeling nauseated, and I was completely out of energy to boot. I slept most of the day, and I really did need it. I did manage to (finally) compose my NYC narrative (three months after the fact), and I'm so glad it's done. I was also able to talk to my good friend Jenny on the phone for a while - it is always so nice to catch up with her!! I feel bad that it's so hard for us to get a hold of one another, though. :(

So that's life on this end. I should probably get back to resting...as much as I'd like to, I really shouldn't take any more days off if I can help it!
