2:30pm - breakfast muffin, protein shake
Lost power in the trailer and no alarms went off. Because I am sick I slept straight through the day. Accidentally no called/no showed this morning.
I feel like I am almost over it now and can rejoin the world, except that I am still super snotty and have a splitting headache.
Ok. maybe not ready to rejoin the world.

I know I'm sick when my guy wants to see me and I have to say no maybe in a couple of days.

Did a target run for a monitor so I can get stuff done.I also hit the frozen foods section. Was super surprised that they have all sorts of super healthy stuff there now. They even had kombucha! I also finally found a lunch bag for my mess kit that lets me have the plate lay flat at the bottom and isn't huge. Yay.
Coming home after I realized I have a huge fever going. I feel like I ran a marathon. I'm also coughing up a storm. Glad I didn't try to drive all the way home if just 4 blocks to Target did me in.

Is is jut me or is there absolutely nothing on Hulu worth watching right now?

I re-joined betterhelp.com last night with the Groupon. First counselor wasn't appropriate. second counselor sounds ok.
This is all I accomplished today. I am a snot zombie. I can't even take cold medicine because of the drug interactiions.
Waaaaaaaaaah.

It would be totally inappropriate for him to come here & get me sick!!!!!!!!!
so betterhelp, it's online counseling!? sounds interesting...
Were you craving salt today? i see a lot of salty things listed...sometimes i actually crave salt. Sauerkraut is good! Or do you like these foods because you can freeze them / have them on hand and they don't spoil easily?
Basically that's what survived the cooler this week. I bought a bunch of salads at Trader Joes but they spoiled overnight the first night and am just kind of stuck with what's here yesterday and today. Not feeling well enough to drive.
I bought healthy pastrami because I had sauerkraut already :)

S1 - Skipped
L - Kombucha, last of the chicken and rice casserole
S2 - 4 thumbprint cookies, for morale
D - Chicken soup
S3 - coleslaw, cheese quesedilla with 2 cheese slices
Working from home today. Had a slight sore throat last night. Today I have a fever and a sore throat. Super hoping I didn't catch strep throat from my friend and her kid this weekend :(. I'm ok to work but I don't want to give it to the whole office if I have it and make myself super popular.
---
Aw, the two guys with newborns I work with both sent me notes to thank me for working from home today.
---
Ran out to get throat lozenges and a few other essentials and splurged on chicken soup from el pollo loco. Gotta get rid of this sore throat! Chicken soup cures everything.

Was inspired by MyGiftedLife to sign up again for online therapy. Hopefully the counselor can help me get my homework done.

Having a case f the blahs today. Not hungry, but I feel like eating. Not tired, but I feel like sleeping. Mostly want to get a bunch of movie tickets and tune out for a few hours.

Went to Walmart and Petco to do errands. Took me 4 hours!!!!!! So much for homework. Starving and kind of out of it so I went to In and Out. Yum.

Super sore throat starting. How do I not have throat/cough drops when I'm actually sick but I always have them when other people are sick?

Haven't responded to all your wonderful comments yet... Will dig in soon!
Making up a post from yesterday (Monday).
Can't remember what I ate exactly but everything was more or less on track, except for a cake pop and some extra potato c
Did a grocery run so that I have lots of healthy non-restaraunt food in my cooler and returned stuff to pep boys. Was delighted to discover that for $20 you can get a device that pulls the codes from your car before you go to the mechanic. So doing that.

Returned a phone call from a guy in my camping group. He was all flirty and I got the feeling he wanted to more about me than the camping trip next week. Nice guy so I just straight out said, "I find you attractive and your personality appealing too and would have given it a shot a couple of weeks ago, but I just got back together with my ex and I think I should give that till August at least to see what's there. Can we pick this back up after Catalina in September?" Silence. Then he just said "Ok" and hung up. I think I got it horribly wrong... Awkward. Crap. I liked him too. He is a construction manager from Idaho with great backcountry skills and likes to read a lot and explains various economic, political, and historical happenings with a simplicity and detail on a par with NPR. Looks like a degenerate tough guy biker and sounds like he went to Harvard even if he never finished high school.

Awesome campervan on craigslist in my price range, but the base vehicle isn't a tall one so you can't stand up straight in it. I want a Ford Transit with a tall top for my base vehicle and his is a Chevy Astro. I'm amazed he only marked it up by $800. Incognito http://losangeles.craigslist.org/sfv/cto/5621339090.html

Making up a post from Sunday.
Can't remember what I ate, but it was more or less on track. May have been a couple of extra meals in there, but more or less OK.
Saw my guy on Sunday. Fun discovery that he was a competitive spicy eater and an amateur competitive bodybuilder in his youth. I want to see photos of him when he was young. I bet he was trouble. All those twinkly eyes, muscles, and a uniform. Still has the eyes. He wants to come camping... or at least come to my tent at night. I was like well... we'll see.
Did a little homework. Tried to take dog to vet but we waited 4 hours and they still had 5 people ahead of us, and my dog was getting too upset so I bailed. Will try again on Wednesday.

H is sending me pics of the camping trip I said no to. They are on the beach, with good waves. F@#k. Stupid homework.
---
Caught a price drop on the bed and made Walmart give me a credit! $86 off makes it a $91 bedframe. What a big improvement when you are watching every penny.
----
Seeing my guy tomorrow.... Hopefully I don't have to cancel. Maybe I'll get lucky and he'll cancel... Dying to see him but I have so much homework. If he cancels, I'm not the flake. Hope he feels better. He says it is cat dander from the previous tenants, but I think he's really run down and caught a cold and won't admit it because he's a tough guy.

9pm and just starting homework. Dog has peed everywhere in the house. I hate to shut her up in the kitchen but I have to. Looks like a more pricey vet visit nd a rug doctor rental for me tomorrow and no date.

Not really sure what I ate. I think:
Went down to parents place to work from home and wait for the bed to be delivered. I expected a full size adjustable bed. Instead I got a toddler bed!!!!!! So upset. So much for my big plan to organize my stuff and clean up the living room.
Worked all day, with a few too many breaks and ended up working late. Bah, working from home.
Afterwards, I fixed two faucets (all by myself), pulled stuff together for storage, and made dog food for the week. She doesn't seem to be sick. I don't know why she is peeing everywhere. I don't know how I am going to get a urine sample for her on my own. Last time Mi and I worked as a team to get a sample. I don't have anyone to buddy up with for this.
I also tried on interview suits I had stashed in my mom's closet for safekeeping when I outgrew them. I have a great black suit in size 16 that I can get into, but it is too tight to wear without damaging it. Almost there though. The last time I was a size 16 I think I was like 225? I'm 247 at weigh in last week. Maybe I have more muscle now? I dunno. I think I am maybe 10lbs away from fitting it. My friend M was hounding me to invest more in my wardrobe, but I can't get a stable size... I just expand and contract every year.

you just need to find a way to eat to get to a lower weight but not always be hungry...perhaps you can substitute some of the higher cal things you like with ones with lower calories. i can give you tips when i read your foods...
nice job on a snap pea snack! very filled with fiber and healthy.
with the rotisserie, did you eat the entire chicken? half the chicken? maybe next time just eat 1/4 of the bird and the rest of the meal have veggies. like, eat the chicken 1/4 of it and have the bag of snap peas, as one meal.
chicken tikka meal sounds like the microwave types...they have such cool things these days :) you can always add veggies to it, if you aren't full.
ok, so the burritos = nice! just try to maybe have ONE. and if you need something to fill you up, why not a decaf or regular coffee with the burrito or after it? that's what i do. less volume, but add a low calorie drink.

Overslept till 8, left the house at 8:30... traffic was super bad and got here at 9:45... over an hour to go 8 miles. So need to test out my bike. I bet I can just go down sidewalks. The trip home after dark is hard though. Dangerous to go under the bridges here and all the drivers are texting.

Rumor mill has it that there are huge layoffs tomorrow. HR needs to step up his game. Nobody is getting much done.

Sierra Club is promoting their Wilderness Travel Course and Wilderness First Aid Course again. They both look amazing. Wish my CPR cert wasn't expired. I'd totally sign up. Three more things to add to the wishlist.
At least the REI classes are free!

But actually, my commute is similar to yours. just around 8 miles too probably & yes around 45 minutes usually...so not as bad as yours, but similar.
Rush hour is the worst haha.

Does your work care if you don't call in sick? Where i am, they absolutely won't take it...and it could get you in deep doo-doo!
I don't know. Will find out Monday. They knew I was sick yesterday. I hope I am not in too much trouble. We all make mistakes. It's not like I woke up this morning and was like "screw it". I just didn't wake up at all.
Horn_of_plenty on 06/10/2016:
ohhh, and feel better!
maybe you can text that you lost power?
I did already. The trailer is plugged into the house line (legally) but if the switch for the main house turns off, all the switches for outside need to be reset. The batteries in my clocks must have died. I dropped a pillow and muffled my cell phone. I just didn't hear my alarm and was sick and slept through it.
Normally I wake up on my own about 4:30, do my chores, take a shower and go back to bed till my call at 8am. I slept straight through. On and off, I'd say I slept 36 of the last 48 hours.
