First of all... Happy October!
Fall has definitely arrived in Chicago. And we've had some crazy weather arrive with it. Friday the waves were crashing so high on the lakefront path they actually closed it by the afternoon. Personally, I found it pretty funny because I thought the waves were bigger & badder in the morning than the afternoon, but in the afternoon they decided to close off parts of the path that I rode that very morning. But I digress...
Let's talk thank yous....
The marathon is quickly approaching and I'm so excited (partly because Karen's coming to visit!).
But my co-workers were so sweet and made me a marathon care package.
*Pasta for pre-race (all-natural, wheat-they were trying to show how well they've gotten to know me by pointing all this out).
*Gels and blocks for during the race.
*Beer from local breweries (the nice stuff that I don't splurge on unless it's a special occasion) for after.
*A super sweet card.
It was so sweet and so unexpected!
I knew something was going on during the day, but I had literally no idea. I kept thinking, 'It's not my birthday.' 'Nothing special's coming up.' 'Is it my half birthday?' I couldn't figure out why they would be scheming about something for me.
I keep mentioning about my unhappiness at work, but I haven't said how great most of my co-workers are. Sure they annoy me sometimes, but who do you see 5 days a week, and work with to accomplish things, that doesn't annoy you some times?
I work with some pretty awesome, thoughtful people.
