The Good News is ...

My Cowboys pulled off a spectacular win today ... against a pretty darn good team. That makes me smile.

The bad news is ... I did not complete everything on yesterdays planned to-do list for today. Yes, some laundry, but none of that planning stuff. I might get the schedule in order here, as soon as I can get off the computer. Luckily, I have what it takes to make it through tomorrow.

Yesterday, during my "phone date" with my friend Adam, he asked me how I felt. My reply was "Other than hungry?" No, really, its not been too horribly bad, and I tried to explain this to him. Americans strive to never feel that pang of hunger. I'm not sure if it is something bred into us by the immigrants who brought our poor and starving genealogy pool across the pond or not, but we sure do seem to hate feeling hungry. We avoid that feeling, that gnawing in our stomach that says "Hey you, fuel tank is running low!" I have been rather enjoying the feeling that my body is using up every last ounce of fuel that I give it ... and then proceeds to let me know, sometimes quite loudly, that it needs to be refilled. Rather like the dinging of your idiot alarm in the car telling you that you are about to run out of gas should you fail to stop and refill the tank NOW! I know when my "refueling" time is coming, because I start to feel, well, empty. By the time the next meal rolls around, I am ready to eat. And I like that the fuel I am giving my little engine is the high-octane stuff. Makes me feel good about myself ... and in return, my body seems to be performing better than ever. :)
