Rescue

What a day! I definitely did not sleep well last night, which resulted in me being very tired after work, and ended with me not being productive at all. I did fairly well though, some fruit and water for breakfast/grazing through my internship, half of a yummy BBQ beef brisket sandwich at Traffic Jam (which was on Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives!) for lunch with my sweetheart, a nice loooooong nap, and a bowl of cereal and whole grain toast for dinner. We'll be switching things up tomorrow and doing breakfast for dinner, so I'm going to try to stick to a lot of fruit and some lunch meat to get be through the day.

I wasn't completely useless today, which is why I titled this post 'Rescue.' When Dad and Anna got home from the store today, I went to unlock the door and let the dogs in, and there was a chocolate lab sitting by the gate! Friendly, well groomed, so he had to be a pet that had just escaped a yard or someone's house. But he didn't have a name tag on, so I didn't know who to call. I ran inside to get the phone number for Animal Control, called them and they were closed. So I went back out to try to find the dog again, and maybe sit with him outside to see if someone would come out looking for him. Unfortunately, he was gone, but I did spot another dog, probably about 8 lbs, and a breed I couldn't name off-hand. I scooped him (her?) up too, and ended up waiting outside to see if someone would come claim this dog. When a neighbor a few houses down poked their head out the front door and whistled for a dog, it clicked that this might be the dog they were looking for. Turns out it was, and they had already snagged their lab and brought him back inside too. I might not have reunited an owner from across town with their beloved pet, but I did help a neighbor rescue their little guy from the cold, and it felt pretty good to do so.

I typically rely on the Yahoo News homepage for updates throughout the day, and I can almost always count on them having at least one article in the top stories about health and/or fitness. No such luck today! I also haven't gotten around to finding a chart/table/article with a calorie counter for everyday foods yet - that's my goal for this weekend. I do still have a link to share though! This will only work for a short time (maybe a week or so), but give it a listen if you'd like! I'm currently interning at 96.3 WDVD, and I made my on-air "debut" this morning, because something funny happened with me and a fellow intern. Blaine & Allyson decided it was a worthy topic, and brought me on air to explain what went down. If you follow the link and look for the podcast titled "Accidental Text" you should be able to hear exactly what happened. 96.3 WDVD Podcasts Enjoy!
