So, this morning I brought a sketch pad and pencils and erasers and my smallest sketching book.

And my walkman.

And a book on tape.

And my story file on CD-Rom.

My bag looks like I was packing for a long weekend, not an eight-hour workday.

In fact, I was so busy packing things with which to wile away the work hours that I forgot to pack any lunch. Ah well. It's not like I'll be too busy to go out and get some.

I binged on junk food last night, to the detriment of my diet, so I'm already starving this morning. I had 8 lbs to lose and I've lost three. It was a dumb time to sabotage myself, but I'm determined to get back on track. So, I'm eating yogurt and thinking bitter thoughts about being the kind of person with no self-control whatsoever. (On the plus side, we stopped by the Russell Stover store yesterday evening and I did not buy the world's most delicious-looking dark chocolate truffles. So, you know, I'm not entirely a waste of time.)

I've already made three work-related calls today (I'm such a slogger). There might be one or two more I can make, but I'm going to pace myself. Wouldn't want to become giddy with all of the excitement.

And now...it's time for a coffee run.

So...what else is new since yesterday?

Not much, I'm afraid. In fact, not buying a truffle is probably the most exciting thing I've done since yesterday.
