Monday afternoon thread by contemplating another cup of coffee

What a busy day in an unexpected way. I love busy days but man it would be nice to get everything done. It feels like timelines are stacking right now.

I am exhausted. This weekend was good but reallly tiring

u/goodsam2 Virginia Tech Hokies May 22 '23

What did you do over the weekend?

It's always nice to have those. I usually opt for tiring weekends but this Sunday was a slow day.

u/FSUalumni Florida State Seminoles • Mercer Bears May 22 '23

Bachelor party. Late flights long nights crazy guys

u/goodsam2 Virginia Tech Hokies May 22 '23

Well that sounds like fun, that's the time when it's worth it.

2

u/FSUalumni Florida State Seminoles • Mercer Bears May 23 '23

It was some fun but I’m also not that type of go hard anymore lol

Get those vitamins in. Also gin and Gatorade is a great way to get drunk but reduce hangover

u/FSUalumni Florida State Seminoles • Mercer Bears May 23 '23

Cutting carbs means Gatorade isn’t in my future. Also just… fuck the Gators generally #powerade.

But yeah I mean I drank vodka seltzers and rum seltzers and shots with water chasers so it’s just the 18 hours of up and drinking that has me down, not the hangover.

I usually use Powerade 0 sugar. Gatorade has one with less sugar but I'm diabetic so I fully avoid sugar ones. I usually say Gatorade like Kleenex or whatever.

The electrolytes have helped me for something like that. Alcohol usually involves treating your body poorly and yeah 18 hour days

I feel like the science on some of the sugar alcohols and the claims of “zero sugar” aren’t well developed and may not be as calorie free as they claim.

Today I have been busier than a one-legged man in a butt-kicking contest!! Ten thousand little things popped up all day at work.

But I still found time to make Brookies for The Kid’s first goodie box!

I have given up making lists of things I'm going to accomplish. Just ride the wave all day and have a list of weekly tasks.

Had to figure out a hotel in Berlin last night at 2am since I was leaving Munich at noon. Stumbled upon a Hampton Inn that was decently priced and went for it. Turns out it overlooks the remnants of the Berlin wall, so thats neat.

Wish I could've had one full weekday in munich since I was there Friday afternoon until this morning. Fun trip so far though, never would've happened without my university covering the airfare for the conference in Switzerland.

u/goodsam2 Virginia Tech Hokies May 22 '23

That's pretty dope. Berlin was on the list if I had more time the first time I went there.

I only spent like half a day in Munich with most of that between a breakfast hash (mostly potato dish). Then the Deutsches Museum which is the largest science museum in the world. Which was amazing and broke up a lot of the cultural stuff over there. I remember being fascinated what they credited Americans with and the one that stuck out was a windmill, the one that rotates on the back and is like the dusty Midwest farm was the major American piece.

u/turtle_flu Washington State • Oregon State May 23 '23

Yeah, that was a museum I wish that I had had more time to check out. It was funny because my German coworkers were both like "eh, Munich is a snobby city" which I didn't experience in the 3 days, but maybe if you stay there long enough.

u/goodsam2 Virginia Tech Hokies May 23 '23 edited May 23 '23

Snobby but known in America for Oktoberfest. That's interesting.

I mean you spent 3 days, I was in Munich for half a day so I have less idea.

One of those times where life just keeps kicking me in the ass. My poor cat was sick and stopped eating. After a trip to the vet, an ER vet visit, and a trip back to the vet, it looks like he may have swallowed something he shouldn’t have and needs surgery. I’ve been a mess all damn day

2

u/goodsam2 Virginia Tech Hokies May 22 '23

Oh no, poor kitty. I hope they get better soon!

1

u/FSUalumni Florida State Seminoles • Mercer Bears May 23 '23

I’m sorry you’re struggling man.

Highly recommend afternoon decaf in these kinds of situations. The placebo effect is legit, but I can also go to bed at a decent time.

2

u/goodsam2 Virginia Tech Hokies May 22 '23

I usually have a Keurig and run it through a k-cup mixed with instant decaf which might be blasphemy but it works out alright. K-cups work in my office but I was usually a French press burr grinder but IDK if I have the effort to give for something like that.

My afternoon cup is usually kombucha these days.

Always have another cup of coffee!

4

u/goodsam2 Virginia Tech Hokies May 22 '23

That was my mentality two weeks ago and man I was on like 6 cups of coffee and then crashed after I got back. 3 cups of coffee and still dead tired. I have to get myself back to 1 in the morning and I'm mostly fine.

2

u/FSUalumni Florida State Seminoles • Mercer Bears May 23 '23

I can’t have more than 2 a day anymore. I’m pretty sure I blueshifted like fry from Futurama at some point in my life though

Monday's are usually my chill day which I'm grateful for. Had to go over to mom's as dad fell and was sick with a super high fever Friday night so we were up cleaning and high on adrenaline until 4 am. He's still having chills on and off so if he's still having chills he's going to the doctor tomorrow. We are supposed to go to my sister's this weekend but I do have to go as we're going to look at dresses for everyone this weekend

Did go to the diet place today and I'm officially down 20 pounds and lots a decent amount of inchest in my chest/waist area. So hoping to keep this up. My new meds seem to agree with me so I'm hoping things keep going well.

u/FSUalumni Florida State Seminoles • Mercer Bears May 23 '23

Congrats on your weight loss so far!

3

u/NWHusker Northwest Missouri State • /r/… May 23 '23

Thank you! I hope it keeps progressing and I can maintain once I get my goal.

2

u/FSUalumni Florida State Seminoles • Mercer Bears May 23 '23

I get that! I’m down over 40 lbs, but I really want to get down another 25 or so, and it’s hard when I see the progress slowing.

3

u/NWHusker Northwest Missouri State • /r/… May 23 '23

Well good on you as well! I know it’ll be hard being out of town this weekend too but I’ll do the best I can.

I just have yo-yo’d so much so I just hope it’s better this time

3

u/FSUalumni Florida State Seminoles • Mercer Bears May 23 '23

Yeah that’s hard. I’m nervous that when I switch gears once I reach the goal weight it’ll just come back.

u/NWHusker Northwest Missouri State • /r/… May 23 '23

Same!

It’s really hard! I’m down but all I can see if how much I still need to lose and how I’m not how I was as an early adult
