Ohhh

1:35

Oh, I am not well. I felt fine all day, pretty much, and even when I first got back from lunch, but now I am very barfy and light-headed and not good. I don't think I even have the energy to try to go home early. I have an hour until the school day is over, and then a half hour of open library after that. I'm just grateful that the meeting I was supposed to be at right now was canceled. I feel like I can't even read.

On a lighter note, and in the continuing series of epiphanies I've been having (can you tell that I love that word?), I did some thinking about weight loss and how to start down that road again. I know that the W8 Watching is the best plan, but I don't have the patience for that right now, and for the amount of daily life it consumes. I started to think about the Jennie Craig again because hey, Valerie Bertinelli looks good, but then you have to consider that Valerie Bertinelli is unusually beautiful and has been since she was a child, so yeah, of course she looks good. And there were some things I didn't like about the JC when I was on it. I hated having to go to their office every week (although I liked the woman who was my counselor.) I didn't always have room in the freezer for all the meals I would have to get each week. So I started to give NutraSystem some thought, because it's a lot like the JC (same original founders, I believe), but without the stuff I don't like. You don't have to go anywhere, all the food is delivered to your house, nothing is frozen, and you don't have to talk to anyone unless you want to. I looked online and I like some of their different management tools, too. So I registered, but I can't actually join until I'm home because it's just dumb to put in your credit card number on a public computer system, not to mention which it's against school rules to make financial transactions on the school network. So I think I'll do that when I get home, assuming I'm not too dead to live. It costs about half as much as JC, too.

I know this isn't the best way to go about it, but all I'm looking for now is a 10 to 15 pound jump start. Even that will take months, I know. Maybe by then I'll be motivated enough to do it the right way. Time will tell.

Home. I joined up and should start getting the food next week, I guess. I called and talked to someone there, too. So far, it looks like a good program, but as I say, we shall see.

Oh, my condition is much improved, I still feel barfy and now I have a sick headache, too. Funny thing is, whatever this is that I've got, my principal seems to have it too. He's been in and out, sick and better, almost as long as I have, which is since the week before Thanksgiving. Hey, it's not like I hang out with him or anything.

Tomorrow is the worst day of the year in the library, the day we're closed for the debate tournament. What happens is that we close to our own students and are an all-day coatroom for the debaters from other schools. Which totally sucks. Which means I won't feel a bit of guilt if I wake up feeling the same and call in sick. And I'm already out Wednesday with doctors' appointments, so that would make a strange week, eh?

And now to collapse.
