Day Ten

1/6/2010

Today started somewhat late since I am not feeling particulary well and ended up over sleeping. With predictions of terrible blizzards I had to rush through work to get everything done and as usual with work, nothing goes smoothly. Breakfast was a mozz stick and water. Not very much and lunch all I got was some beef jerkey. I did drink one bottle of water that I had refilled from yesterday's bottles and filled it up again about mid day. Snacked on a few almonds. I was dying for something other than protein. Finally finished a little after 4:00 pm and ran through Boston Market for a salad with grilled chicken. I was delighted to find their salad dressing was had only 1 carb. I also treated my self to a serving of their chicken salad and made bold to ask them to give me the tomatoe and lettuce but no bread. I have never asked for special orders like this and although this was a minor issue, they were happy to oblige and it felt so good! I got two bottles of water so, I got my water quoto. The downside was I never got my small boost of caffeine and after driving in a blizzard for 1 1/2 hours, I had a terrible tension headache and had to pull over short of my planned destination. Cancelled the other hotel and ended up staying in a hotel in a town called Emporia. Thanks Kansas weather for ruining my plans! Ah well, somehow it will all work but I am on a tight audit schedule right now that needs to finish by the 15th so, I will have to really work on my calendar tomorrow to figure out a solution. Also, I found out today that I have a new employee to train...so, that will be added to the schedule. Got to get out of this hotel tomorrow if at all possible because I teach at a small local college on Friday...hope the roads are improved when I head out! Right now I am watching/listening to a double decker semi stuck on the side road of the hotel spinning, spinning, spinning his wheels...hope that's not me tomorrow! Good night.
