Aches + Pains

Ramblings

The sickness is back:( I woke up this morning feeling ten times worse than last week – with chills and aches in every single joint. I knew something was really off when I practically had to force down my gooey, sweet oatmeal. But, I had a busy day of work, so I zombied through the day anyway. I obviously took yet another day off from the gym as well as a long nap this afternoon. I was especially sad because I had plans to eat salad and drink wine with friends this evening and had to cancel. But, I did read a good chunk of my novel and had cereal and pb +j for dinner, which is always enjoyable.

On a lighter note, since I had an abundance of free time this evening, I had many thoughts, so I’ll leave you with random ramblings:

  • The sun is really getting strong these days and I just love it. Sometimes, when it comes through the window in our office, I think I start to sparkle like Edward Cullen
  • Thanks for your comments on the tote; I think I’ll see if they have it in the store before I make any decisions
  • Why do I feel this way?
  • I think I’m cheering for Butler in the final four
  • I can’t wait until the day when I have a grill in my backyard.
  • I just keep discovering cool places, like this gas station turned beer garden in Durham, and I’m so pumped for the local food/beer scene. I’m totally into historic preservation.
  • Oh, and there’s a large mouse living in our office.
  • Any news out there?

    Gram had a mouse living in her room in the nursing center. She didn’t tell anybody though, because she knew they would come and try to get him.

    Any news?

    I’ve been meaning to recommend a beer I know you’ll like: Gulden Draak. It’s somewhere in that Belgian Tripel/Golden Strong area. $15 for a champagne bottle but it’s killer.

    I GUARANTEE you’ll like it. You’ll also like the Weizenbock I just brewed… a thick, caramel, milky, 9% banana bomb!

      Thanks! I’ll keep an eye out for it, although sounds like it might be hard to find. Can’t wait to taste the homebrew!!!
