random stuff

i found a terminal at the hotel. i can't access email, but..
some quick thoughts before i get kicked off..

good news: got my 3 miles in on tuesday (treadmill), and 4 miles earlier today (outside) in between meetings. its kind of hot here. the pacing for the 4 miles was about 11:00. i didn't feel that great.

bad news: right ear never popped after the plane ride on tuesday. its messed up. i can barely hear out of it. bummer. it makes me feel a little unbalanced and stuff. i hope to get it checked out on friday when i get back into town. i hope it is nothing. but right now, when i eat something, it sound super crunchy in my head. and when i take a shower the water sounds really loud when it hits my head...do you know what i mean? obviously something is up with that ear and the flight made it worse.

the ups and downs, they are crazy. what a ride this has been so far. i plan to do some hard praying on the flight back that my ear won't get any further messed up...i am worried that it will hurt something fierce on the plane ride back! i knew 6 flights in 2 weeks was pushing my luck but i couldn't do anything about it.

i can only hope that the crowds will all be on my left, so i can hear them. heh. oh well.

in other news i haven't been that hungry this week. i don't know what is up with that either. it feels weird to go to big fancy dinners and order a ceasar salad; so far, no opportunities to order pasta.

another random tidbit is that this hotel is totally out of stock of bottled water. what kind of hotel runs out of bottled water? have you ever had a drink from the bathroom sink of your hotel room? nasty. bye for now, one more update on friday or saturday.
