Monday was not such a fun day

When I woke up at 5:00 this morning, it was raining/snowing/sleeting and foggy. So, I got out of bed, stood by the window, and tried to decide if I wanted to risk it and head to the gym. I decided against it because Mark is back from Florida which means that I had personal training to look forward to. So, I went back to bed and then hurriedly got dressed, shoved a bagel in my mouth, got my snacks ready, and still magically got to work on time.

My snacks for the day

Once at work, I spent an hour making two samples that needed to be shipped out today and then left them on the stir plate to heat and mix while we had our Monday morning meeting (it's a new thing we're trying out). I came back to find that both samples had burned. What was supposed to be a nice, odorless yellow oil was a not-so-nice-smelling black-orange one. So, I remade my samples and then had some yogurt while I learned about the industry online again. 


Then I came home for lunch and had my typical English muffin pizza. This time I paired it with one of my organic oranges. Yum! So good. Also, after seeing that I had only eaten about 500 calories for the day so far, I decided to grab a Kellogg's FiberPlus bar on my way out.

When I got back to work, I shipped my samples and did some more online training. I also started feeling sick, so the afternoon dragged on forever. Being sick at work is not my favorite. I was hoping it would pass, but at 4:30, I decided to cancel training. I was super bummed because I hadn't trained with Mark in a while. But, the good thing is that I was home when my new gym shoes came!

I've been having some pain on the tops of both my feet so I decided it was time for a new pair of gym shoes. I'm pretty pumped to break this pair in tomorrow morning.


However, I'm not so pumped for all the medical terminology I need to do tonight. I have two papers to write: one on Otitis Media (which is just a fancy way to say middle ear infection) and the other on osteoarthritis (which I basically already know all about seeing as how I have it in both my knees...). I'm also not so pumped for what's going to be a bland dinner since my stomach is still upset.

Could be worse though. I'm sure I'll still be able to get some 30 Rock in tonight. Woot.


How was your Monday? What do you like to eat when you're sick?
