7 Quick Takes Friday/Saturday

1) I realize that I'm a day late.  I'm also probably a dollar short.  It's the way I roll sometimes.  Still, I want to play, too, and it's the perfect day for some short, quick thoughts.  I don't even care that it's not Friday anymore.  So there.  You can go over to Jen's to see more Quick Takes.  Try not to be too judgmental of all the perfectionists that actually did their posts on Friday.

2)  Last night was a good night for football.  Cool, but not freezing.  It started to drizzle right as the game ended and the guys were shaking hands.  It was also an injury-free victory!  My favorite kind.  That means no clinic for me today, which is fantastic.

3)  Work has been... interesting, to say the least.  Not bad, but lots and lots of stuff going on.  I had a few extra hours this week, but no worries.  I'll have a few shorter days next week, so it all works out.  One of my bosses came down yesterday.  I like her more and more every time I spend a little time with her.  She is still a little intimidating sometimes, though, not going to lie.  She also re-arranged some stuff which involved a lot of unplugging and re-plugging in cords.  The upshot is that I currently have no fax or internet; so that really stinks.  In her defense, she's very competent with electronics.  Her thought is that there's something wrong with the DSL; my thought is that she's probably right, but I wouldn't know.  I'm not so competent with electronics.  I can run they work right.  I can set them up via step by step instructions.  I can't trouble shoot.

4) In the course of the craziness at work, my normal eating pattern has suffered.  I don't do well if you mess up my eating pattern.  Yesterday by 3:00 I hadn't had lunch yet.  Normally, when I wait too long for food, I get crabby and then I eat everything that holds still long enough.  Yesterday I had moved past that point.  I was at the point where I was so crabby that I was no longer in the mood to eat.  I realized that want to or not, I'd better get something.  I don't think the school has a contingency plan for if the trainer passes out from low blood sugar!  Actually, I doubt I'd pass out.  Thinking clearly and assessing injuries appropriately might be an issue.  Anyway, the moral of the story is: don't mess with my eating schedule!  My body is still confused today.

5) Today is the feast day for Ignatius of Antioch.  He's a very interesting Church father, and his writings were some of the first that I read.  There are interesting insights about the Eucharist and authority of the bishops.  In the light of my recent pope posts, there are also some interesting implications about the way he addresses his letter to Rome.

6) I'm really excited for this weekend.  Two whole days with nothing work related.  I plan to try to get a little cleaning done, because then my sisters are coming for a visit this evening.  Also fun times planned for tomorrow.  Even Monday I get to be done a little early and go catch up with a friend.  Bring it.  I'm ready!

7) I have to go now.  It's almost 11:00, and I need lunch.  My body's worried that it will be a repeat of yesterday.  It's probably not good that I'm in the mode of being ready to eat everything.  The good news is that I can't overdo it too much because I haven't had much time for grocery shopping either.
