Got $75 yesterday. Am about 1/3 of the way there with my fundraising! Woo! I am getting worried that no one is going to come to the fundraiser, though. I know the pub is sort of out-of-the-way, but not really! And it’s so nice and friendly and it’s all for a good cause! My fear is that I’m going to get all of this great stuff for the silent auction (well, actually, I already have) and no one’s going to be there to bid on it, and I’m going to end up making $15 at the whole event. Okay, Pam, think positive. I am going to create an evite to send to everyone. Yeah, that’s a good idea. Keep reminding everyone…

Yesterday, Terry and I went to the Navy gym. I had 45 minutes of cardio scheduled, so I got a magazine and rode the stationary bike for 25 minutes. My left knee felt sort of funky, like it needed to be popped, but after a while that went away. That’s only something that happens on the bike, fortunately. After the 25 minutes, I got on the treadmill to walk hills, but I felt nauseous. So I only ended up doing 35 minutes of cardio.

But then, after the gym, George and I went to dinner in the French Quarter and we ended up walking around for over half an hour. Granted, not at an especially fast pace, but better than nothing, I suppose. Even though I had a shrimp poboy for dinner. Hmmm.

Speaking of dinner, a really strange thing happened at the restaurant, Cafe Maspero. One of the waitresses was wearing a t-shirt and on the back it said in large letters “DR JACK ANDONIE” which is very odd, because that is the doctor that delivered me. I know he’s somewhat well-known in New Orleans (not sure why, but I think he’s also on the board for something to do with LSU) but after I commented to George about how strange it was that the waitress had a t-shirt with his name emblazoned across the back, something even odder happened. The waitress in question led an older couple to their table, right near ours. I could hear the older man asking her why she had that t-shirt; obviously, he knew Dr. Andonie too. The doctor is a celebrity! The whole episode was weird…we’re in a touristy restaurant in the French Quarter, the waitress is wearing this doctor’s name on a shirt, and it almost seems like everyone is talking about him! Hmmm. Maybe I need to do some more research on this doctor…George even said Dr Andonie was his mom’s doctor at some point. I tell ya…weird!
