Argh!

So, I woke up in a bad mood today. I don't know why. I feel like I didn't get enough sleep, even though I know I slept for exactly 8 hours.

On top of that, Kata made my favorite thing that he makes for dinner tonight, beef strouganough (or however you spell it), and even though I had a perfectly reasonable serving, I'm still uncomfortably hungry. I had two cookies for dessert (almond cookies, nom). Still not enough.

Nyxie, Lona and I headed out then to Claudia's class to sit with her and make sure she didn't have to drive in the dark home. I was sitting, reading, trying to finish my book so we can go back to the library tomorrow, when I was hit by SERIOUS intestinal pain. I was afraid to stand up. I told myself that when it passed, I'd run to the restroom of the Borders bookstore we were in.

The pain passed enough for me to get up and run for the bathroom, only to find that BOTH of Borders' restrooms were flooded and therefore out of order.

Now, of course, the pain started again. I left the bookstore and walked to the Starbucks next door. They had only one bathroom, and it was occupied. I left the Starbucks and walked what felt like miles, between the heat and my body forcing me to hold very still every few steps, until I finally made it to a Denny's with a gloriously UNoccupied restroom.

And now, feeling physically much better, I'm about to head back to Border's. The walk back promises to be much easier than the walk over.

I think that's it for this edition of Dire Wolf Tracks. But, dang it, I'm still hungry!
