Friday:
Work as usual. Back to my pumpkin toast for breakfast! 2pts.
Lunch was the highlight of my food that day. I made a delicious ham & turkey wrap on a ff tortilla with 1 slice of 2% colby jack, romaine, grape tomatoes, and chipoltle mustard for 4pts with a side of grapes 1pt (I couldn't finish them all, they were too sweet), and more acorn squash! So good.
I was glad to be off work when the day was over. Matt and I met chris for happy hour at 3 to celebrate the start of october with 3 Oktoberfest tap 6pts selections and these stellar glasses we got to keep.

Saturday:
Saturday, I woke up not feeling so hot. The glass of wine at home was not a stellar idea on my part. I also felt the start of an ear infection coming on. I wanted to roll over and go to sleep, but I had to get up and go in to work for a bit. Blah.
After 2 hrs at work, I came home and floundered in my misery for a while trying to fall back asleep. Matt made me guzzle some gatorade 2pts and I had 1/2 cup of shells and cheese to get something in my stomach 3pts.
After a short nap, I realized that this was not illness from a little too much wine and that something was actually up. My ear was swelling a little and my head was pounding. Unfortunately, Saturday was our advisor's office party and we more or less had to make an appearance. I put on my big girl pants and went over to meet and greet. It was a TON of fun. I didn't feel great, but I had been missing seeing everyone so much! I don't know how many points I consumed, but it was not pretty. There weren't many healthy options. I do know I had 2 lemon bars for dessert- probable 6pts, some wine 6pts, chips and dip 5pts, chicken mung bean onion something 3pts, and a rice dish 3pts. I was ready to go home when we finally called it quits.
I had the worst night's sleep on the planet. I didn't get any rest until well after 5am. booo.

Sunday:
Sunday, my ear problem was awful. Matt and I had made plans a while ago to go to the Carrytown Wine and Food Festival with some friends. I didn't want to back out, but in hindsight, probably should have. We went over to have bloody mary's for breakfast at Jamie and Chris's house. I ended up only having a few sips of mine, but it still looked pretty. Matt drank it for me.

| Such fresh drinks. I was sad I didn't feel well enough! |

The fall weather was nice. I enjoyed seeing everyone and not working on my thesis (although I should have been)! We piled in Chris's truck for the drive to Richmond. We picked up lunch on the way. I had a hardee's chicken tender kid's meal (no picture). It was a fun time. Thanks for driving Chris!

 |
| Matt and me (being sickly). I didn't take full advantage of the unlimited free wine because I wasn't feeling so hot, but I enjoyed the outdoors and meeting some new people. |
 |
| Duck rizoto balls. omg- heaven. Jamie let us try some of these before they met their sticky end on the pavement! We also tried some seafood sate. |
After the wine festival, we left Carrytown and went to a place I had heard a lot about and have wanted to try for a while- Sticky Rice! They are known for serving sushi pared with buckets of tater tots! I LOVED it!
 |
| Rebecca being a goober with her chopsticks...ahem (we all were). |

 |
| My edamame. I had to find a substitute for the bucket-o-tots everyone had! |
 |
| Our table's bucket-o-tots...and chop-sticks! I was good, I only had one. |
 |
| Matt and my sushi. I always forget my love of sushi until I get some. It was delicious! The crunchy shrimp roll and the one on the bottom right (crab something) were mine. We mixed and matched though. They were all great! |
 |
| Can't get sushi without one of these. I was trying to be a camper and enjoy myself, but my strength and pain tollerance were waning. I had about 1/3 of the beer. I love Sapporo though. |
I slept on Matt's shoulder most of the way home because my ear was really hurting by that point. My medicine had all worn off. :( I had a lot of fun and am glad I went, but not sure my body agrees with me.
When we got home, I didn't stay awake much longer and got to bed early.

No idea!!
