Triple Play

It's one of those wonderful triple play days that come up so rarely: it's Friday, it's pay day, and it's the last day of school before a break. (Winter Break; I have next week off.)

Ahhhhhh.

It's also Senior Pajama Day at Bizarro Town High School, which is sometimes amusing and sometimes I just want to yell "Pull up your pants!" The girls all look very cute. I'm seeing a lot of one piece footie pajamas with the monkey on them or Hello Kitty, a lot of adorable fuzzy slippers, teddy bears, and so on. The boys are mostly wearing sweatpants or plaid pajama pants with t-shirts, nothing cute. It's always pajama day the day before Winter Break.

My head is more clear than it was on Wednesday, when I spent the entire snow day lying down, deaf and heavy-headed. My teeth still hurt a lot, so I guess I have sinus pressure on that side. Also, the pounding tinnitus in my right ear is loud, even during the day at work, which is not so common. But in general, I feel okay. Hungry at the moment, but lunch starts in about fifteen minutes, so I guess I'll live.

Know what I did on the snow day, the one actual thing I did? I MADE PIE. Because I Love Pie. Not a big deal pie, just a jello/cool-whip/lime pie in a graham cracker crust, so it took ten minutes, tops, to make, but when I eat it I am eating pie, and that's all I care about. Speaking of eating, tonight, K and I have potential plans to splurge insanely and get the Blue Bacon Burger at Wendy's. She's out today on a day-long interview for a teaching job in September, so I guess she deserves to eat whatever the hell she wants tonight after a most stressful day. She was going to teach a sample lesson first thing this morning, but of course I haven't heard from her, and won't til we both get home later.

I have lost 12 pounds and I think she has lost closer to 15 or 16. I'm thinking that a burger with bacon and blue cheese dressing should confuse our metabolisms into picking up the pace, as in "Hey, they're not out on the savannah starving! I'd better get moving and digest all this crap!" or something. That's my story and I'm sticking to it.

I have books to read and many appointments next week, and I want to rest some and get back to the Wii Fit more. I'll be letting you know how it works out.
