Are the Theraflu people tryin' to piss me off? Cuz I am NOT in the mood. Their "delicious" mucus tea (THEY call it Flu & Chest Congestion, and it tastes nothing like any natural citrus I've ever had, BTW), comes in little foil pouches that you can supposedly open by folding down one corner and then ripping across from some non-existent notch. Supposedly. Okay, I can fold down the corner. I can see the little indentation that is their idea of a notch. But it kind of falls apart from there. I folded and ripped and pulled and tugged with my fingers, and then went right to the traditional act of desperation -- the final step before breaking down and admitting you have to cross the room for some scissors -- ripping at it with my teeth. Nada. I've only tried to open 2 pouches so far, but I'm 0 for 2 on the corner notch thing and I've put a pair of scissors by the microwave. Theraflu: it is NOT nice to mess with sick people. Just put a decent notch in the side of the pouches and let's move on.
So obviously being ill has put a crimp into my little diet/exercise experiment and Christmas is not looking good for invisibility. Being sick's a great excuse to not workout and to eat chocolate and potato chips. But let's be honest, I haven't been doing much since Boot Camp before Thanksgiving. So I think I'm pretty much screwed until 2010. The good news, however, is that I've found a boot camp workout group in my own neighborhood, that works out in the evening (not some ridiculous time in the middle of the night or the middle of the work day), and it doesn't cost a penny.
Yes. So as soon as I'm feeling better and I have some time, I'ma exercise with strangers close to home. Just as soon as I feel better.
