There is a person in my life right now who is driving me absolutely insane. This is someone I like, generally, but I’m beginning to see their dark side. The “me, me, me” side, where everything is about themselves, where every story is interrupted, where you can’t even finish a sentence without this person’s input. It’s highly annoying. I know one of my flaws is a tendency to interrupt a person while they’re talking, and I am aware of it, and I make an effort not to, but this person… It’s the one-up-manship, the extreme self-centeredness. I can’t even have a private conversation with anyone else while this person is around, because I will be interrupted with a story. Gaaaaa!!!

(Like how I was so mysterious? You don’t even know the gender of this person! As if it’s hard to figure out.)

On a less mysterious note, yesterday I went for a mini-run after work. A grand total of 20 minutes, but because I get off of work so late and the park is about 20 minutes away, it’s starting to get dark after one loop of the park. Once daylight savings time ends (or is it begins? I never understood that), I’ll be able to go around more than once.

However, tomorrow morning, I’m going for a run/walk for 30 minutes with Janice, a woman I work with. She’s run twenty marathons, but hasn’t run for several years. Now she wants to get back into it (not marathons, though we did talk about doing a half marathon) so we’re starting tomorrow. At 5:15. In the morning. She’s a morning person, I’m not. And she has to be at work at 7:30, but I don’t have to be in until 9. Guess I’ll go in early tomorrow.

Did I mention we set the time of the closing for the house? Yay, yay, yay! Less than two weeks now! T minus 13 days! Yay!

Oh, let’s see…food…yesterday I left work and had 15 points left for the day. That’s a lot! I had a nice three point breakfast of toast (with the one point for two slices bread) with jam and coffee with sweetened creamer; then a snack of 1/2 cup of honey nut cheerios (1 pt), then a salad lunch that I estimated at 7 points because I put a bit of almonds, a bit of cheese, a bit of egg, and a bit of salad dressing on it. Better to overestimate than underestimate. And then I earned 3 points for exercising, but I won’t count those.

So after the park, I stopped by the grocery store and got some sushi (ooh. supermarket sushi. well, it was only a california roll) and baked doritos (can’t resist though it may not be the best choice) and turkey deli meat and wasa crisps (0 points for one!) so now I have lots of yummy low-point things to eat. Yum!
