Dreary inside and out
I woke up this morning hearing this strange noise, and I couldn't figure it out. Turned out it was rain dripping onto a gutter on the roof next to us. Great--another bike ride in the rain, I thought. Actually, it wasn't raining too much when I left for the gym, but it sure was dark!
I swam for about 45 minutes, and I knew from the first lap that it was going to drag. I woke up yesterday with the beginnings of a sore throat and had a headache (on top of the sore throat) today. I don't think I've ever swum with a cold before, but it's kind of gross, and all that head-turning didn't help my headache. I must have looked at the clock a hundred times waiting for at least 45 minutes to pass. And when they did, I knew I couldn't bear to do another lap!
I had two early classes and one afternoon one, and I had trouble staying awake in all three. The material was interesting, but when I am sitting still for long periods of time, my eyelids take on a life of their own and want to close! I am hoping that since my classes tomorrow were canceled, I will have a chance to catch up on sleep a little. But in general, I need to find the amount of sleep that allows me to feel rested and alert in these classes--after all, I am paying to sit in class and learn. It's just hard when Matt tends to come home later and do his work later--I rarely get more than 5-6 hours of sleep a night and that's just not going to cut it.
On a (completely) different topic, does anyone have any experience with lactose intolerance? I have a feeling that I might be having some of those issues. I'm going to do some more research on the Web, my favorite reliable source :)

I am a dietitian and regularly encounter patients that are lactose intolerant. Are there any questions in particular that you have? There are several excellent products out there for people who can't handle lactose (if you don't mind paying a little more), but still want to get all their calcium, vit D, etc...
