[11.13.11]

I worked last night, so I came home this morning, had some breakfast, and then crashed for a few hours. I got up, had a snack, and will head to the gym in a bit.

Had a lovely Skype chat with Charlie. Grandma and Dad were able to talk with him for a bit, too. It was an emotional morning, but a good cry is necessary every once in awhile. I miss that man, miss his face, his hugs ... what I wouldn't give to feel his arms around me today ...

Food log:

• 2 oatmeal pancakes with organic peanut butter and pure maple syrup

• Dried blueberry, cranberry, and almond mix - after gym snack

60 minutes on the elliptical - 6.01 miles, 705 calories

I was POOPED at my 32-minute mark, but I pushed through. Ugh.

At work for the night, now ... signing off. :)
