C is for cookie, and that’s good enough for me!

Yesterday I decided not to go to Alchemy / Nation. I had a long week, today was going to be tough in the office, I had too many empty calories already, and the music has been eh lately. I had also decided not to go to the gym. I walked home, then walked to the gym and did much upper-body. I showered, checked the mail, called a friend or two, answered a call or two, had a sandwich, and changed my mind on the nation issue too. I didn’t know of anyone going, didn’t feel like distressing, didn’t feel like getting drunk...I just had this tought ‘wouldn’t it be fun to go out and dance?’
( Yes, yes it was. Whee! )

I was a sweaty mess, but a happy sweaty mess. I must say - if you’re not having a good time, try lowering your standards!

Isn't it ironic (really)

I am trying and failing to not eat today. I have put many a mound in my mouth *cough* today, many a peppermint pattie, even a few bunnies...I decided to get a meal because I thought if I was going to give in to my appetite I might as well break down and have real food instead of trying to pretend that there is some nutritional value to coconuts sauted in sugar.

The guard at the stairway door called "Sir. Sir!" I turned around wondering why he'd be harassing me for my damn badge going this way. "The cafeteria is closed, Sir," he said. I thanked him for the tip, and went back up the stairs thinking the cafeteria must close early on Fridays.

Upstairs the secretary passed me in the hallway, asking "Did you hear about the cafeteria?"
"Yeah, it's closed already."
"Yeah it's closed - the health department just shut it down."

The USDA, those people that inspect your food to ensure it's safe to eat, has just had the cafeteria shut down by the health department. Granted it's run by a contractor, but that's just too funny! I feel much healthier about my wrapped leftover easter candy now! I think it's time to make 4:00 PM diner plans...
