Year 4, Day 76: Reunion

Or "Please God I'm Sorry I ate the Almond Pudding."  Prior to me going to New York, both Emily and I had a premonition that I would have some kind of gastric distress while there, perhaps at the reunion.  As I take those things very seriously, I tried to be careful about where we had dinner.   Unfortunately, two things-- the liver (my colleague ordered it) and the almond pudding (really just milk pudding with almond slices) did me in.  I tossed and turned most of the night, and, concerned about today's slate of meetings and reunion, I got myself into a terrible middle-of-the-night tizzy.  It didn't help that the Affinia hotel, and especially my room, featured an assortment of nerve-jangling old-style elevator noises that were really unidentifiable, but especially jarring at night.

Year 4, Day 72

Five days til the reunion. Okay, I'm not even the most obsessed with it.  There are a few people on the boards flying in from far away.  Some are planning a pre-reunion party.  Some have invited people to come to their house after the party.  Me, I'm just trying to get through the week. There are deadlines, big meetings, and naturally, the reunion.  I'm a tad worried about all the eating.   Hopefully, I'll get to the gym Friday morning.

Year 4, Day 61

I am trying to vary my breakfasts.  Today I played tennis with Emily and as usual, she won, 7-6 (7-5).  It was disheartening not because I lost but because I didn't feel I was playing well.  Felt like I was swatting at things, pell-mell. Kind of ridiculous.  Also, we only played one set instead of two.  It's really in the second set that I start to get going, so I didn't feel like I earned any dessert, but hopefully I can make up for that with a few more walks, workouts, and more.  After all, I do have to look good for my 25th reunion which is in three weeks...
