Dear Diary,
First day of the diet,and i was determined to succeed, got up and ate a bowl of museli and a glass of orange juice. Felt quite pleased with myself
until 10 minutes later when my bowels started to complain over the high percentage of fibre. I felt as if I'd swallowed a brick. Remembered to feed the cat who still hasn't forgiven me for yesterdays blunder.
Left the house with its eyes burning into my back.
Arrived at work to find Will waiting for me. Fobbed off his 'Where were you on Monday night?' with a favourite about not feeling well and having to go straight to bed
explaining the lack of a phone call. Found it a little
harder to explain why I hadn't got the 4 text messages
and 2 emails he had sent me yesterday, not quite sure he believed that 'my
phone had broken' In the end I used the typical male lines that 'I wasn't sure where our relationship was going' and I needed 'to take time to step back'. That should hold him for now.
Spent the morning browsing over shoes over the internet
and debating whether to go for the black ones with the four inch heals
ones or the blue kitten - healed ones. Had to buy
them both in the end so I could get on with some work.
Ate one measly salad sandwich that was about
as exiting as eating cardboard, filled me about the
same too. Spent a good half an hour arguing with myself
whether to go and buy some temptingly close (and by now
almost heavenly looking) chocolate from the vending
machine. Saw Judy from accounts buy one, shuddered, and
didn't think about it for the rest of the afternoon.
Left early (to avoid Will) and found I had a text
message from that guy in archives claiming he wanted to
do lunch so he could discuss a few things with me. He
really must be annoyed if he has to complain to me in
private and out of work hours. It must be those dozen
odd files I 'forgot' to return. Thank God there's no
late return fines, I get the feeling I might get
punished for this one.
Returned home to find the cat showing its forgiveness by rolling up on the bed and falling asleep. If only
cats ruled the earth not men. Whilst looking through
the freezer in search of health food I came across a simply irresistible
tub of Hagen-daz ice cream. Tried to resist for about half a
second before my stomach took over. Made sure my
conscience was looking the other way before taking the
cat's lead and curling up to watch a film. Sheer bliss.
The diet will have to wait until tomorrow.
