Holy humidity, Batman!

I ran again this morning. It wasn't quite as bad as yesterday, but the humidity was killer again. And my dog wanted no part in slowing down. But I went, and that's the important part. This makes 4 out of the last 5 days and twice in a row again. I'm not going to jinx it yet and say that I'm back, but if I keep it up, maybe I'll at least be able to stick with it for a while.

As I write this, I am scarfing down a bowl of Special K, my first meal of the day. Bananas in the bottom, of course. I don't think I'm going to do a full-out crazy diet like I did this past spring (though the results were undeniable), but I do need to eat better. Working this awful schedule has thrown off my eating schedule, too, so I've gotten in the habit of grabbing whatever I can when I can. Unfortunately, that ends up being fast food a lot of nights. Time to nip that one in the bud.

Benjamin and I saw "Invictus" yesterday afternoon. That marked the third time I've gone to the movie theater with every intention of seeing "The Blind Side" and watched something else. But "Invictus" was a wonderful movie. It runs 2:15 with 25 minutes worth of previews at our theater on top of that, but if you have an afternoon to spend, I definitely recommend it.

I have a whole host of errands to run today, but I'm taking my time eating my breakfast. I need to get on the ball. Christmas shopping absolutely has to be finished today so I can put everything else toward the Tampa trip. Even though it's going to be a butt-ton of fun, all of that fun is going to cost money. So hopefully after today, I can save for amusement parks (because that's what's going to eat us alive).

I guess I should go dry my hair and get ready for a day of running around. I need to make a written list so I don't forget to do anything. This should be my last day of work before the big break, and Jason gets home Saturday, so I'm just excited all around. I can't wait to spend Christmas with him :)
