chewing gum

yesterday, i went to the first annual congressional women's softball game. my boss was in it, so that's the only reason why i thought i wanted to go. i momentarily forgot my complete aversion to most sports. it was terribly boring, but it was for a good cause - over $41,000 was raised to fund breast cancer research. my coworkers and i only stayed for about half the game. the field was in georgetown, which isn't very metro accessible, so i had to take one bus, then transfer to another bus to get me to a metro. i got impatient between the transfer and proceeded to walk around the neighborhood (which, oh my god, i need to go back there when i have money because there were some fierce stores). then i ended up walking through part of the georgetown campus, which was so gorgeous, as were many of the students. i felt super inferior and totally lamented my nau experience. i didn't make it home until well after midnight, didn't fall asleep until 1:30ish and i woke up feeling like i'd been strangled and poisoned - nauseated, achy, etc, etc. it was a rough morning.

it eventually leveled out and the last couple of hours were decent. i've managed to forge amicable relationships with most of my coworkers somehow, so that aspect of work is infinitely more tolerable. i even felt comfortable enough to drink a corona after 6:00, and that ish had me feeling super floaty and festive. after i bounced from work, i headed straight for the metro. i was waiting on the platform, someone calls me name, i turn around, and it's my absolute favorite professor ever! so random. her son is performing in a play here. seeing her totally made my day - she is so inspirational. not only is she utterly brilliant, but she is gorgeous and stylish and fun and great. so i'm going to grab lunch or dinner or something with her before she leaves. so excited.

now i'm at home, and the kfc i decided to eat was not the best decision, but not the worst. their grilled chicken is surprisingly decent, if still excessively greasy.

life is good.
