A dead woman's ear wax..

So...at my temp job I work with people who are deaf and hard of hearing. I'm just the office assistant, no bigs. But some very interesting things happen around here, I must say.

Today I get a call from a lady asking if we received a returned hearing aid from her mother. So I go back and ask our telecommunications consultant if she has the package I gave to her last week.

We open a couple that aren't the right one.

Then we opened a small black box. Seemingly a non threatening Beltone box that holds a hearing aid that belonged to a deceased woman. May she rest in piece.

When we open it.. that sucker was COVERED in crusty, flaky yellow ear wax. (Not like a lollipop sucker......the freakin hearing aid weirdos. Gross.)

I gagged. I don't gag. (giggity) But I gagged. Yeah.. we threw that one away. The state will just have to deal because there was no way the TC was cleaning that. I sanitized and moved on.....

But I am scarred. The life kind.

So I did my 3rd day of Week 2 of the C25K yesterday. I have to say that it is SO much easier to run in the evening than in the afternoon like I did on Tuesday. I just get too hot! And its not even hot out yet! It is only March!!! Know what else would be easier? If I had a treadmill. I might ask for an inexpensive one for my birthday. Of course I've changed my mind on what I want for my birthday about a bajillion times.

I'm like a child.

I need to go jog today after work because I didn't on Wednesday. But I don't really feel like it. Like.....at all. It's Friday! I want a beer! Not boob sweat. Maybe I will though. I need to. It's only 30 minutes of my day. Doesn't help that my sister has been working from home all day makin' me all jealouz.

I have also realized that I need to set like.. a goal. And a date for said goal. My ULTIMATE goal is to lose 35 pounds. I don't know how long that would take me. But I have a date in mind. I have to go back to the lady Dr. again on July 20th. That's in 4 months. What is an attainable weight goal for for months? 20 pounds? Can I lose 20 pounds in 4 months? I think so.

So that's my new goal.

Lose 20 pounds by July 20th.

Think I can do it? I'd like to lose more. That would be awesome.

So then when should I set my main goal? 35 pounds. October? That gives me 7 months to lose 35 pounds. Is that enough time? Too much time? I have no idea. Someone HELP!!!!

Hope ya'll have a good weekend! I hope I do too! No plans as of right now but to watch some North Carolina basketball tonight! Go UNC! Go State! Wooh! (ugh. when does football start again?)

What better song than Chicken Fried on a Friday? There isn't one.
