I dropped off books at the circulation desk today, that I know were two weeks late, on my way downstairs to volunteer. As I was leaving, I went back on my way out to pay my fines and was told there were no fines on my account. Perks of volunteering, maybe? No one actually said they deleted the fines.

Are you PREPARED?

Tell me I am NOT the only one who went to this place, right?

I felt like a real employee today, taking cursing out of an e-mail so my supervisor wouldn't see it.(Not at him. we're cool. I just decided to maybe not be *that* irrepressible, in case he may want to hire me sometime.)

Grumbleboowhine.

I have a cold. First one since I can't remember. Feel like ass.

I think it is part of the process of changing habits with the Whole Life Challenge. I've lost 12.5lbs in the last 11 days.

It's shocking how cutting out wheat, corn, processed foods and sugar has made my body sigh a huge sigh of relief.

I am, by no means, starving myself. In fact, I'm having a greater experience of being 'full' now than when I was eating crap.

Who knows. Maybe I would have gotten the cold anyway. Lots of folks have come into my home bearing germs over the last week. But, it is kind of disappointing that, just when I started feeling really good, I'm felled. Feh.

I am afraid I'm getting a cold too. Am downing EmergenC and hoping it'll help. I have dancing weekend plans this weekend! No time for sick!

Also annoying: I placed an order for a new phone online last week. Apparently it didn't actually happen, so now I have to make another one??

I don't have a cold, but my fall allergies have hit and hit hard and it came hand in hand with seasonal depression.

Someone on my FB feed posted a thing about how great the local library is, and someone commented, "I'm there right now?' I was thisclose to asking "Was it fg?"

I think I'm getting a sore throat or something. My throat doesn't really hurt, but it feels swollen, like there's something stuck in it.

bonny, I felt better when I wasn't eating simple carbs than I ever did in my life. It seemed like it was a one-time thing, though. Once I went back to eating them, stopping them never had the same effect again. Weird.

Seriously. The last two weeks have been busier than the last several months combined. I have no time for this!

I won't say I felt great right away. Definitely not that. But in the last week, I've been sleeping better than maybe ever...Where I would normally wake up every 2.5 hours, I have been waking up once after about two hours and then sleeping for SIX hours at a go. That just blows my mind.

I was kind of cranky for a few days...not really jangly from no sugar or caffeine...but it turns out that non-muddled sugar-free clarity is jarring.

I've been moving more, obviously, and today is just a huge drag. I feel low when I sit still but moving at all is exhausting.

How sad that so many of us are feeling ooky. BOO that.

Get some sleep! That is really key to beating the incipient cold.
