I am a little cranky this morning.  I could totally be one of those old ladies comparing aches, pains and ailments with everyone. 

It does indeed appear that we will have an early spring judging from my allergies.  I started running a low grade fever yesterday so I called my doctor and asked if they would just call in a Z-Pack for me since I can't really take off work and I don't want to be around people who are really sick and be exposed to germs.  My doctor is the bomb and had it called in pretty much right away.  I do feel a little better after the first dose but my damn nose is running so much it has broken out from the lotion in my tissues. 

My knee is starting to feel better.  I still haven't exercised on it because I am afraid it will hurt.  I know that doesn't even make sense but it takes about 48 hours for the inflammation and stuff to go down after the shot.  It kind of feels good right now and I don't want to run and make it flair up again.  I know the doctor will ask me Monday how it felt to run on it when I go back on Monday.  I plan on running tonight even if I have to just do a mile on the treadmill. 

I love my new running/gym bag!!  It is perfect.  I haven't tried to shove it in the gym locker yet, but it doesn't look like it will take too much manipulation to get it in there.  I need to start doing my Monday night treadmill speed work again but will probably wait until after I finish up with the shots.

Sidney, at 13 years old, finally figured out how to open the trash can lid.  The first time I thought maybe Dennis left it open when he left for work.  Sid got a stern "NO" and I picked up what he had gotten into and shut the lid.  A few minutes later he was stretched up on his back legs with the lid open again, the little shit.  I just put the trash can outside but will have to buy a smarter trash can this weekend.  What's funny is none of the big dogs have ever gotten into the trash and they probably could get in with out much effort.  He is such a little adventurer, the older he gets the more brave he is.

Today is pizza day at work.  Our boss is buying for everyone, this way he can force us to have a meeting on our own time.  He is robbing us of our lunch hour to talk about furloughs and shut downs.  Excatly what I want to be doing at lunch.  I hope he tells us what happened to the crazy lady that works/worked here.  Pretty sure she got fired but no one is talking.  She was escorted off of the premises last week.

My weight was at 112 even this morning!!!  I figure it will kind of be up and down while I am going through the stuff with my knee but I am really happy with the down part!!  I go back to the band doctor on Feb. 18th and I am pretty sure he will be happy with my fluid level and keep me there.  I could probably have a little bit of a fill but I know I need to keep it a little loose so I can eat enough to fuel some long runs. 

I can't wait for my new blog format to be ready!  I saw a sample of it last night and it is so stinking cute.  Jen is going to tweak it a little bit (or a lot since I have no clue how hard it is to edit) but it looks like it is close to being finished.  So can't wait.

OK, now that I have vented a little I feel better.
