Canaries in The Midst ( July 2004)

life this week: well today I had free krispy Kreme donuts (4) and am feeling pretty sick at the moment - but they just kept pushing them at me? Who am I do refuse? Ese would be jealous. She gave me lots of free cake on her birthday though - that was nice.

She is trying to get me to drink 8 glasses of water a day - which apparently is equivalent to 4 Evian bottles. I am laughing at her - what does she think my bladder is? I can barely manage ONE Evian bottle a day... and even with that I have to run to the ladies every 30 mins! Sheesh! How does she get her work done?

Earlier this week, I went to collect something from the bike shop so picked up a kfc salad on the way back - you can't imagine how much I was looking forward to it! I rode back here like a speeding bullet, I couldn't even lock and chain my moped properly my hands were so weak... I ran all the way from the car park to the building feeling as if I was faint, I sighed a sigh of relief as I tumbled through the door and strolled briskly towards the lifts, at that choice moment ... the bag burst! New meaning to the words: 'tossed salad' *wail*; veg, crutons and chicken all over the floor. I could have cried.. how embarrassing and what a waste of food... and I was still hungry!

What gets me most is that all 3 of the receptionists had a good laugh (2 behind their monitors, the 3rd didn't care that I could see her - either way I could HEAR them), AND the 2 security guards *sigh*.. AND the man behind me (who kicked cherry tomatoes out of his way as he headed for the lifts... AND the 3 suits in front who looked back and gaped as though they were thinking: 'how dare she bring fast food into our establishment!'

After that - I saw this really tall bandy legged skinny guy with a huge misshapen afro - he reminded me of a dandelion - that sure cheered me up.

Oh and on Monday I went to the GP for a routine check up: first thing he said to me was:
'oh,you must be feeling better - you've put on weight!'
*cough cough* Ahem,
so after I finished work I went straight to the gym. Haven't been able to walk or laugh since!
