that I’m not missing running?  Week One of my 2-week hiatus is over and my only thoughts are snow/ice driven “Sure am glad I don’t have to run on this!” and when faced with a dense empty-caloried dessert, “Eh, screw it” while I ingest with gusto.  No angst, no withdrawal symptoms, no wistfulness, just a tiny amount of guilt for not feeling any of those things.

Since I like to think I’m a lucky person, I consider last Tuesday’s snowstorm and tomorrow’s snow/ice storm proof that the break couldn’t have been timed better, that it was “all meant to be”.  I know that in actuality this is bullshit since February will surely bring more weather-induced suffering, but at least I missed 2 major meteorological messes.  That’s lucky.

Not much else to share right now.  Today I’m narrating a learning module on Anticoagulants (Hirudin is an anticoagulant originally isolated from the salivary glands of leeches…leeches!  Who doesn’t love a good leech fact?) and later I’ll be sending in some mp3 auditions for a Claritin spot.  Additionally, I’ll be smiling in excess for an indeterminate time due to the funny way the world works and how life keeps handing out interesting surprises.  Can’t beat that with a stick.
