kevin brought home the remains of a huge cake from his office HAPPY RETIREMENT party yesterday.  we ate cake and drank the champagne that his boss bought him.

today i ate nothing but cake until about three in the afternoon, when i suddenly decided that nothing but sugar and fat might not be so great all the livelong day.  so i ate a piece of homemade pumpernickel bread and felt very virtuous for at least ten minutes.

kevin is very happy now.  i’m happy except for the having to get up and drive to chicago in the morning.  mom has volunteered to go with me, which should make the trip better.  except i don’t know what she’s going to find to do while i’m at lectures/classes all the weekend long.  it’s not like she enjoys shopping.

tonight we had a few people over for pizza and brownies and carrot cake.  all good.  perhaps tomorrow i’ll attempt to eat something healthy.  in this handout i got about the massage workshop, it said that it is important to be well-rested and properly nourished to prepare for it.  i have a feeling that a diet consisting solely of cake isn’t exactly the most proper of proper nourishment.

i was just checking my spam folder and i ran across this website.

http://www.olympic-beijing.ru/

i don’t think it’s spam.  if you have the time, please go to it.  the photos of beijing are fabulous.  i tried to e-mail the contact name but it immediately came back to me.  so maybe it is spam?  i just don’t know about it.  i want to put a link to that website because of the pictures, but i’m kind of hesitant because of the spam potential.

i’m going to bed now, in order to at least be somewhat well-rested since clearly properly nourished isn’t within my grasp.

ok ok ok,

thursday ALREADY grace.
