Day 2 - The Day After

Ah from the mouths of babes...

The excitement and joy one has when they first undertake a life changing event. Everyone tonight was on best behavior talking how this is the one the one that will change your life. I am just to cynical for all this love and joy.

I started early (the product), and when I got to the office I reeked of the product. It was coming out of my pores - seriously - I smelled like their damn chocolate shake. I get to the counter to sign in and the administrator starts choking. Now I was worried that she would smell the product on me, but this is the second time I have met her and the second time she has started choking when I am in her vicinity. We have come to the conclusion that she is allergic to me. Feeling safe that she didn't smell the shake on me and maybe a little worried that she was going into respiratory arrest I opened my mouth to give her words of encouragement not to die and I burped that foul smelling shake. She went running out of the office - literally no hyperbole.

I felt a bit like I was in kindergarten and I kind of acted like it too. We had to meet the people to the right and left, so I met E and B. Both were charming and more sociable then the first night. I found out that E loves children and Braden does the AIDS walk. They found out it was my birthday. Happy birthday T!!!

Introducing B I said he did the AIDS walk and walked 6 miles for it jokingly I said I couldn't do a mile. We then segued into exercise and lo and behold the facilitator picked up on my joke and asked if I exercised. Being the honest person that I am I said no. She then asked if I could walk 5 minutes. I mean come on get real 5 minutes seriously? I laughed and said I guess I do exercise I walk the dog more then 5 minutes less then an hour. I guess she thought I was lying to her -but you said that you didn't exercise. Geez...

You definitely got a flavor of everyone, one person both people on each side of her didn't know anything - I just talked about myself I didn't ask you any questions - could be things to come.

T and I went out early this morning down by the ocean. It was a tough walk, I never socialized my T and she becomes a little excited when she sees her kind. I try to spy them beforehand but she always seems to see them first then I have to deal with the high pitch keening and barking.

The food is terrible. I don't think in 20 weeks it is going to get any better, but I did discover it I put ice in and blend it is a bit more palatable kind of like a vanilla milkshake. We were told to stay away from neigh sayers, what if that nay sayer is meigh?
