Continued ... as promised

I was up at 5:20am once again feeling marginally under slept despite a solid seven plus hours. There’s obviously something up. My stomach continues to burn and I get mild dizzy spells. I moved past the ill feelings and completed my exercises. Soon I was outdoors walking Ykraps to the east. The sky was completely clear and the temperature moderately warm. Must’ve been about 37 degrees. Back home I spent a little time on the internet while enjoying my coffee before meditation. I got Mindy up at 6:15am – her preferred rise time. I had to make another trip upstairs after dressing for my run. I had to grab another running shirt off the rack. All my others were dirty. I wore my MP3 player, but unfortunately selected the wrong option. I opted for downloaded tunes instead of radio, but when I hit my selection I had only one song selected, and after it ended the player shut down. Crap! I didn’t bother stopping to try and correct it. I didn’t have my glasses on. I wouldn’t have been able to read the screen anyway. L I enjoyed the quiet, and the rest of my run went really well. Back home, Mindy had our eggs ready just like usual. Soon Mindy and Bella were gone and Jacob and readied as usual. Jacob was excited since today would be his lat before Xmas break. After Jacob was on the bus I headed into work arriving around 8:20am. Work went smoothly. I worked straight through until 4:00pm. We were having our leadership Xmas outing at Brazenhead in Dublin. My team presented me with a FrontRunner gift certificate just before I left. Very cool! Most of us arrived at Brazenhead within ten minutes of one another. We settled for the upstairs loft area after learning that the basement was reserved for the owner/manager this evening. There we enjoyed some libations and appetizers as well as one another’s company. We hung out until 7:30pm or so. I called Mindy on my way home and learned that she ended up asking my dad to pick Jacob up from the bus stop so that she could make another chiro appointment. My dad willingly agreed to do so and ended up staying for dinner and a mini birthday celebration. Sorry I missed it! I drank only three beers but two were fairly strong Xmas ales. I had a buzz! Mindy and I stayed up until 10pm. I took a couple Advil and a Tagament just to ensure and easy wake-up. Smart move on my behalf!
