A miracle, by Jove!

I’ve never used the phrase “by Jove” before. Like how I threw it in there all casual? Next up, I’ll be working on referring to someone as “hoss.”

Anyway, the miracle is that I went to the dentist this morning and I do not have any new cavities. I’m not positive, but this may be the first time that has ever happened in my entire life. It is certainly the first time it has happened in my adult life. I guess giving up soda and cutting way back on my sugar consumption has had more than one positive effect on my life.

And then I went to work, where I got to spend about a total of 25 minutes by myself at my desk today. No exaggeration. The rest of the time I was either meeting with someone in my office, answering questions, or meeting with people outside of my office. I even had one meeting that took place in the hallway. I had promised to have some copy ready for someone today, and I had to go back at the end of the day and explain how I hadn’t been in my office for the last six hours, so it wasn’t finished. Which was true, but also just not cool. I hate making excuses. I was proud of myself though, for sticking to my “my health comes first” guns and leaving at 6:45 to go the gym. That’s the way it has to be now. The old Hillary would have stayed at work until 8 or 9 and picked up a pizza and fries on the way home. The new Hillary will get up and go into work early tomorrow instead. I’m building new habits. Healthy ones. And I’m determined to see this through.

So really, a day of firsts all around. (By Jove!)
