I’m a week away from seeing my friends on Super Bowl Sunday. We meet halfway in the Wisconsin Dells at a rental house and just have fun. I had a bunch of guys working for me in Chicago from Poland and they called the Dells Polish Hawaii. I even put that on my PTO request for the the Monday after re: Super Bowl Monday Polish Hawaii. No one said a thing. Maybe that’s some kind of official alternate name that I played off as a joke…
In preparation for my vacation and because I’ve got a move coming in about a month I’ve been eating all the things I have in my house. This lead to some questionable leftovers that have me paying a severe penalty today. Today’s biggest mistake was Chinese food of dubious origin. I think it was part of a lunch last year that I properly refrigerated but might have waited too long before freezing. I bailed out half way through consumption and walked the remainder over to the trash chute because the smell was already getting to me.
Three hours later and I’m thumb typing this from the couch between bouts with the toilet. Good times over here today. A half hour ago I got a burst of energy and tossed all remaining non-commercially packed sustenance. At this point it’s not worth the risk. When I get back from next weekend I’ve got to pick some kind of healthy eating direction and stick to it for a while. The weight train has jumped the tracks and it’s time to get back on course. Plus nobody should feel this bad on a Sunday afternoon.
I was supposed to look at new apartments today but have taken myself out of the lineup. I will go this week after work. The two places I’ve locked in on are a little older. Built in the 1980s or earlier older but I’ve decided I’m going to live a year in a less nice place with the hope of saving some money. This is my last stretch of college to pay for and every dollar counts as we reach the end. Then possibly saving some money once that expense is off the books seems like a good idea. Plus, I loved the eighties so a time traveling apartment doesn’t seem so bad.
Gots to go both literally and figuratively.
