Day Fourteen.

    I was so tired when I got up this morning it took everything I had to get out of bed and go to work. Once I got to work it wasn't too bad, I actually felt like I was getting some good work done. The great thing about today was how nice it was outside when I got out of work, that gave me the second wind I needed for my plans. On my way home from work I went to the food store to grab a few things, but mainly paper towels. I guess I haven't spoken about how many paper towels I use, but as you can imagine it's a decent number. I have tried all different ways to use less, but I just can't seem to shake the habit. I get really grossed out by hand towels and if I used them regularly I feel like I would be washing them constantly. To me, the paper towel is the most sanitary drying tool out there....I guess second to a automatic hand dryer, but I don't think they make those for residential usage:) At any rate, I also got some Airborne because I have been feeling a little under the weather and if I start taking it before I really get sick it actually works really well to prevent the cold/flu.
    Once I got home I went pretty much right on the elliptical machine and did a full 30 minutes. It felt pretty good and this time instead of listening to The Gaslight Anthem on shuffle I listed to my favorite album right now, "The '59 Sound", from the beginning. That helped because I know all those songs and none of them, for the first 30 minutes, are slow! Then my dog and I went for another walk which she was super excited about. I wanted to try to run her for a longer stretch today, but I was pretty exhausted from the workout and I just ended up doing the same length as the other day. Ugh, that pretty much sucked though because I got that stomach cramp thing that always reminds me why I can't run! After the walk I did the usual laundry and shower....no clothes to fold today:)
    After the shower was done I had to do the dreaded balancing of the check book, which actually went pretty smoothly and I didn't have any bills to pay, so bonus! Then for some reason I thought it was a good time to go through some old papers from work....this lead to me deciding it was time to sort through my purse. I tried to hold off on hand washing as much as I could, but I was getting antsy so I ended up doing it a lot throughout the whole process. Especially when I was collecting all the change I had in my purse and throughout various parts of my house. Money is so dirty....it's like the mail, so many hands have touched it! When I bring mail in the house I don't even like putting it down on the table, I sort it right away and throw anything I can in the recycling bin. The mail that I have to keep I take right out of the envelopes and put it in my mail basket. I hate getting involved in some of these extensive paper sorting projects because I have a hard time stopping. Before I knew it the clock said 8:30pm and I hadn't even had dinner yet. I cleaned everything up and made another buffalo chicken salad. I'm glad I went through all those things, but it ended up taking up pretty much my whole night.
    After dinner was done I decided to give one of my sisters a call, then I spoke with my boyfriend and unfortunately I never got to read the articles I had wanted to read:( I am glad I spoke with my sister though, the phone call was definitely needed! I will hopefully get to the articles sometime the next two days. Tomorrow after work I am going to my boyfriend's house and I really haven't been there in a long time so I am excited. I told him I would try to get there as soon as I could, but I bet I won't be there until almost 7. Once again I have to deal with the whole packing ordeal and this time I have to pack my dog up too. With that being said I should go to bed!
