Seriously, my body thinks that it has to rebel or something on a regular
basis. I'm either dealing with an injury or a stomach thing, or my darn
allergies. I'm not even sure why. I have been eating better,
exercising, etc. I still don't really take vitamins like I should but
whatever. Stuff happens.

After having a very short lived cold thing last week, it seems to have
come back. . .As a sinus infection. I'm EXHAUSTED once more. Which
doesn't even calculate right; I slept 8 hours last night at the very
LEAST. I have had a slight sore throat every single morning this week,
today being the worst. And just touching the spot between my eyes this
morning KILLS. My eyes feel so heavy this morning. I want to close them
in the worst way.

If it's not one thing, it's another and I am darn sick of it. We're just
now rolling into cold and flu season and I want to avoid that mess as
best as I can, but if I can't even avoid a little sinus infection caused
by a stupid little cold, how in the WORLD am I going to avoid a serious
virus??

Sigh. . .Guess I'll be headed to the walk-in clinic today after work. I
feel insanely yuck!

I decided on my first 5K race. The WMU homecoming Campus Classic.  October 20th. This should be interesting!

His name was Jonathan. i was 6. :)  He remained my crush for a very very very long time. Years, even.  Maybe ten years?? Regardless, I moved. We didn't stay friends. He ended up turning into a big fat jerk.

I guess love really isn't in the air. 

- - -

While things are in turmoil with my current boyfriend, I've been eyeing a new crush. . .Not that anything would happen with that. I just doubt VERY highly that my relationship is salvagable. I mean, I think I could make it happen. But I'm doubting his ability to make it happen. He's not trying hard enough!! ARGH.

I don't want to get into it right now.

i can't figure out just why, but i decided to bring some work home tonight.  maybe to get my mind off life or maybe because i had a hell of a day and didn't get a darn thing done that i had SLATED to complete. so, to look good in the eyes of the boss, i took some stuff home. in fact, i even let her know i was taking it home.  she said “good, it'll keep you out of trouble.” I said, “well, i might have *i guesture to drink*”. . .and she said “a glass of chardonnay will help!”

lol. . .

back to work. . .

I'm so freaking tired today. Sailing yesterday certainly wiped me OUT.
Mainly because I was popping phenergan like it was candy. In case you're
not sure what that is, it's an anti-nausea/vomiting/motion sickness
medication that is available by prescription only. I take it when I
have nausea issues with my IBS. Anywho. . .My doctor must have not
looked at my chart when he refilled them last. He gave me 25mg, when
usually? I only take 12.5mg. I probably took about. . . 50 mg over the
course of the day (I ended up cutting them in half). Lol. Bad. But I
was freaking out. And feeling queasy. And I'm suffering for it today.
They make me sleepy, but I wasn't THAT sleepy yesterday (probably
because of my anxiety), but I have been dragging today. I feel
completely drugged up. That stuff can't even be in my system anymore. :p
On top of it all, a sinus headache has invaded me. UGH! I hate this time
of year with the allergies.

I need to run tonight so badly, but I may have to rely on running
tomorrow. Not what I feel like doing, but we'll have to see how I feel
after I eat dinner tonight.

I really just want to go to bed. I hate that I feel this way at least
once a week. . .Mainly it's on Monday's though, so that should give me a
clue. . .

My toe did not fall off. It actually looks better today than yesterday.  It's still nicely bruised, but actually now is more purple-y and it just makes my toe look rather. . . dirty or something. I was able to run last night!! Funny how it hurts when I walk, but NOT when I run.

Anywho. . .Did nothing yesterday. Put together a fleece blanket for a friend of mine who is due to have her baby girl in a couple of weeks. . .

Today went sailing on Lake Michigan (off of Holland State Park) with Trent and his family.  Ended up baked under the sun. Lovely. 

I'm tired and was supposed to be in bed forever ago.

It may not be until February, but there has been discussion about what we're all going to wear the day my bro gets married. I'm trying to help my mom find a dress. But I have been finding inspiring ideas for myself. I.E. THIS dress from Macy's. I probably won't order anything until at least January or aI'll buy something after the holidays.  Who knows what size I'll be by then if I keep working out. But I really like this dress! 

I'm going to look perfect at this wedding, so help me God. The pictures will last for a lifetime. And my ex will be there. I have to look hot.  Not sure why I have that obsession exactly to look great for the ex, but he treated me like crap at the end and I want to show him what he's missing. Lol. . .Perhaps, too, if I look good enough, but I may look so beautiful that Trent gets in the mood to get married. 

I'm such a dork. And I need to take the advice I gave 

nosignalinput

  earlier — I need to go to bed!!

The color almost matches my toesnails. . .It isn't the best pic, but if you can imagine it, the bruising wraps all around the left side of the toe to the bottom. Ow.

I forgot to tell you about one thing last night. . .I'm afraid I've
broken my toe. Not the pinky toe, but the one right next to it, on my
right foot. I ran into/jammed it into a free weight that was sitting
near my TV.

It is bruised in the weirdest way. . .Not on the top or bottom, but on
the left side of it. It's deep red but not quite purple or blue. And
it's KILLING me. It bends (with some pain, of course) and doesn't really
look or feel like it is broken, but my coworker this morning thought it
might be. I'm sorry, but I don't want to waste my Saturday at the E.R.
to find out.

Or should I? Grr….
