Had my first ever mammogram. It was quick, it was painless, and Windsong Radiology had bowls of Hershey Kisses everywhere I turned. Fantastico! Best of all -everything AOK, I don't have to go back for five years. Holla boo boo honey child.
Next up, a delicious breakfast sandwich with sausage, egg and cheese on a COSTANZO'S roll. Delicioso! I ate 3/4 of it before I threw in the proverbial towel.
Fast forward an hour when a meeting broke and trays and trays of Paula's Donuts were leftover. Booyaa! I took a 1/2 and ate about 2/3. Superb! (I'd throw in another foreign word here but I used them all up on my explanations above.)
Moments later Buffalo Bills Linebacker Arthur Moats comes through the building to thank staff for our support of the United Way. I stopped him for a photo and he was happy to oblidge. Best of all? No dinosaurs busted out of the foliage behind us to snap at our heads!
Here's where the day goes downhill.
I made some toast in the cafeteria (only $0.65 for two huge slices of rye) and I got fancy (lazy) and put them in the long way, causing them to get stuck in the rolly toaster, thereby almost burning down the joint.
Next up, I learn Davey Jones died. I was just listening to those crazy Monkees the other day. 66? That's too young to go. Unless you're a musician I don't like (Henry Rollins, I'm talking to you.)
I soothe my soul with some Hershey's Bliss (since I didn't have any Kisses at the Windsong, I have SOME rules about candy!) I have a handful of animal crackers. Nothing will ease the pain of this loss.
Fast forward to 3 p.m. where I get the shakes becuase the only protein I've gotten the entire day was in the breakfast sandwich I ate 7 hours earlier which was followed only by complex carbohydrates. I ate 1/2 of a protein brownie. I felt better. I realized I had many hours before the end of this day which started at 6:10 a.m. (I usually sleep until 6:55.) I kept it together - you know for the kids (or because crying mid-day at your desk cause you went to bed too late the night before is kind of frowned upon.)
I have to go now. I'm sure somewhere out there is something I haven't eaten yet (piece of pizza fallen on the floor, half eaten bologna sandwich in a trash can.)
