With a little help from my friend (coffee), I did well at the client site today.
I had scrambled eggs and Italian sausage for breakfast instead of my normal breakfast meal. I didn’t make my breakfast drink because we ran out of bananas. I like bananas in my breakfast drink not so much for the flavor as for the texture. The bananas give the drink a nice smooth creaminess it doesn’t have without them.
On the way to the client site, I stopped at WaWa for a cup of coffee. Their smallest cup is 12 oz – which I think is pretty big. As I was going to the checkout counter I passed by their pastry display.
As I did, I thought to myself, “You know, I didn’t have that big of a breakfast this morning. I know I weighed in at 157 Lbs, but 2 Lbs of that weight was gained in one day. That means it was most likely water and not real weight. I should probably consume some extra caloriesâ€
I pulled a large cinnamon roll from the display case and put it on the counter with my coffee. Truth be told, pastry is one of my weaknesses. I have a sweet tooth for almost anything sweet, but pastry is a step up on the temptation scale. Normally I can pass it by. However, every once in a while I succumb. Today was one of those days.
And it went down very well, too.
On the way home, I called the Vorlon Parents and chatted. I have to be careful doing that. Last month I went over my cell phone minutes. I’m going to have to get a login into Verizon’s web site so I can monitor them. I tried calling the Vorlon Brother, but just got his voice mail. He’s tried calling me in the past and gotten my voice mail – ships passing in the night.
When I got home, I wolfed down some supper, changed my clothes and headed over to the tanning salon for my barbecuing. This time I did six minutes. Now that the Vorlon Wife has taken up the sport, I need to stay ahead of her. I fear her tanning talents may outstrip my own. She’s still at the four minute level.
When I stepped into the booth to disrobe, it felt very warm before I even turned it on. I thought, “This may be a very warm session. It’s warm to start with and I’m going for a new personal record.â€
Well it was hot, but not beyond my ability to take it. It felt like it maxed out at four minutes and then didn’t get any hotter. I can take heat well anyway and, in case you haven’t already figured it out, I have a high tolerance for suffering. I can take more physical punishment than most.
As I’m typing this, I find that I’m not feeling overly cool. In fact, I’m feeling a little warm. With the Vorlon Wife’s assistance, however, I have examined myself and I don’t see any evidence of overexposure.
Well that’s about it for tonight. 5:10 am will be here before I want it, and this time I’m doing some jogging as well as my pushups and sit-ups.
