Foiled again

[jethrien]

Chuck and I had intended to go swing dancing. Apparently Fate has other ideas. Chuck's cough got significantly worse as the day went on, and he wasn't up to it. We ended up deciding to go another time. This is as opposed to us deciding to go another time the time my ill-advised new shoes cut holes in my feet on the way home from work, or the time the freak thunderstorm blew up. Fate keeps intervening at the last moment to make sure we don't go swing dancing. We stayed home and played board games instead.

Saturday we had people over for pie and Kill Dr. Lucky. I love Cheapass Games. And friends. I love friends, too. Yay something resembling a social life.

This evening I went jogging in the rain. Maybe this will help make up for the peppermint patties in the fridge...

This could've been taken word-for-word from my internal monologue. :) Glad to hear life is still treatin' ya well.

Can you eat more than one peppermint patty in a sitting? I never could. I nibble on one of them for the better part of ten minutes, and then don't want another. Mmm, strong minty flavor.

Yes.

Fate never let me go swing dancing, either. I joined Princeton's ballroom dancing club three semesters in a row to learn swing dancing, each time being foiled by the scheduling of some lab or official study group. Now I finally have a boy to swing dance with, and he totally doesn't want to learn. Ah, well. I'm a bit lazy nowadays to go to regularly scheduled lessons anyway.

Mmm, peppermint patties. I usually have several at once too. It's amazing that my weight is holding steady given my perpetual snacking at work and my total lack of exercise due to still being slightly sick.

due to still being slightly sick.

You and me both. This'll teach me to make comments about not getting sick often. Stupid sore throat/viral infection/whateverthehell it is.

Hope you get better soon! I'm finally done with my cold/whatever. Michael got sick almost a week after I saw you guys, and he's still coughing like nuts. He scoffed when I said it might take awhile to get better, mumbling something about having a strong immune system. Hah! Well, okay, he's not nearly in as much misery as I was. But still...
