200 days to go!

I was going to start by saying that I can't believe it's been this long, but that's just a huge ass lie. It's not often you literally count down the days on a whiteboard every morning. Some days feel like months. But it's great. I'm thrilled beyond thrilled.
Yesterday was my partner's birthday. We both took the day off and did absolutely nothing. Like, literally, nothing. I took an hour+ to get out of bed. I stared at him playing video games for at least an hour. I took an epic nap. Considering the alternative was going to work, it was kind of awesome. We were going to go off for a mini vacation at a hotel nearby, but since the most fun parts of that involve drinking, sexy times, and hot tubbing (none of which I've been able/super willing to do), that seemed like a dumb idea. So instead tonight we're going to make a giant blanket fort in our living room and camp out there! The excitement I feel is not at all acceptable for my age, but I don't care. Amazing.
What is also amazing is that the frozen yogurt place by our house was giving out free frozen yogurt, and I just consumed a half of a cantaloupe in about 30 seconds. I think I'm finally getting out of the 'all food must be greasy and salty and meaty' phase and heading into the 'oh god, all the fruit in the grocery store might not cut it' phase. except for chips. I've eaten more chips in the last few weeks than I have in the last five years. but i'm ok with that. no judgement.
