Binary Tuberculosis

Another key part of the plan is the company’s new Kool Kreme soft serve, which will be featured with a toppings bar. The product is being tested in several stores around the country.

Krispy Kreme hopes to heat up sales with ice cream

Sweet holy crap, who wants to go on a road trip with me and come back a diabetic and/or dead?  Seriously, I am so game for this…

Things that can go to hell today:

1. The extremely warm temperature.
2. The fact that the Porter Square T stop was shut down.
3. Me staring at the incredibly diabolical line at the bus stop to get to Harvard Square.
4. Waiting on the wrong side of the street for the bus to get to Davis Square.
5. Running after the bus headed to Davis Square on the other side of the street.
6. The eye-wateringly bad smell emanating from the guy in front of me in the T.
7. The train stopping at Porter Square, happily showing that people are now in fact allowed to enter the Porter Square T stop, happily making my little unwanted morning adventure worthless.
8. Me wanting to take another shower as I entered work today, late.

This is one of those days that I just need ice-cream, a tight hug… and maybe a beej.

I went to get a haircut after work, no big deal, but with this neck issue (see the post below this one), I was dying. Poor Jody, she felt so bad asking me turn my head or look up and down, she did the best she could with the chair and doing acrobatics herself for my haircut’s sake.

Her theory was that it was allergies that settled around my neck and upper back, thus giving me extreme muscle pains. (Her first theory was stress at work, which isn’t really true, I love my job, it’s gotten “busier” lately, but no stress there). She tossed out the usual remedies… ice, massage, etc. I figured, a good run would fix everything, I mean, endorphins you know? They rock.

I got a second opinion from a friend as to why I’m in pain. Stress. Yeah, stress. What the hell do I have to stress about? And if it was stress, ice-cream and sleep would’ve taken care of it when the pains appeared earlier this week. I have literally gone to get ice-cream three times this week (Lizzy’s twice and JP Licks once) and am pretty sure I’m getting the normal amount of sleep, normal for me that is, so the aches should’ve left me by now. Nope.

I literally just finished my run… dude, bad idea. Now I can’t look down, I seriously have to keep my chin parallel to the floor and I can look up about 30°. As for turning my head left and right? Oh those were the days… That’s bad enough, but now, even keeping my head seriously still and staring at the monitor while I type this, I hurt.

Endorphins screwed me.
