True sign the week should be over: the vending machine was out of peanut m&ms! Instead I got some trail mix thing that included m&m type candies, and is more calories and less delicious than what I actually wanted. Ah well. It's more protein, I guess.

I just submitted the one thing I had due today. Now to do a couple more things that have to get done (although not technically due) and then we'll see if I manage to do some database updates....

Aw, shrift, you should've taken the whole day off to save your energy for dinner!

I have successfully kitchen-torched my lunch without anyone coming to see what I was doing. Probably technically should not do that at my desk, but I didn't want to carry a hot bowl of soup topped with molten cheese back from the kitchen, either (it's a cube of "beef" consomme, a packet of onion soup mix, hot water, some farfel croutons I made the other night and mozzarella. I feel like a genius for coming up with this)

I'd say that's a true sign that someone needs to keep better snacks in her desk.

Wise words. I may cancel on dinner, only because we're going to do brunch and see Furious 7 on Sunday. I probably should go to the doctor to see if this is a sinus infection.

That was pretty tasty, but a lot of salt. I forget how salty instant food is when I don't have it for a while.

I signed up for a 5k in October with some of my co-workers. That should be enough time for me to get ready. It's a "glow foam" run, which should be fun, I guess?

Oh, my, plenty of time! And yes, that is a fun run, like the Diva Dash I did.

I WAS going to do the DV Prevention Run, but I'm glad I didn't sign up for it early, because we have to move (again) that weekend.

You are, as ever, my cooking-gadget inspiration, -t!

Ah, but then I would never NOT have m&ms, and this way, I only have them sometimes.

We were looking at a Diva run, Strix, but it's on a weekend when one of us was out of town. I would like to do one of those.

That is a tough line to walk. I keep a bunch of candy at a far corner of my desk ostensibly for people who come talk to me to have, but also so I always have some available. It's out of my eye-line and I can, apparently, forget it is there so I don't just eat candy all day every day, but I am not at the mercy of the fickle vending machines.

My 5K is a week from tomorrow. I'm not convinced I'm ready, mostly because my sprained ankle is a jerk and I haven't been able to really train the way I needed to. I walked 2 miles in 40 minutes the other day, and I'm about to go take a walk in a few minutes, so I'm pretty sure I can make it for 3.1 miles. But I'm actually kind of nervous about it.

Just take your time. Push yourself at the end rather than the beginning.
