aggravated and drained

I feel aggravated cuz I think the construction guys finally fixed whatever they thought was wrong with the vent outside my door (although they didn't care if I kept the vents in my office blocked off) because suddenly this afternoon the vent revved up. Now it's not only colder but super noisy. It sounds like the swamp cooler outside my mom's house growing up, or like I'm in a storm shelter or like someone is incessantly shaking a very thin sheet of metal.

I also feel drained today- my eyelids feel like lead weights. Maybe it was that big bowl of ice cream I had right before bed last night- all the sugar did me in. Or maybe it's because I can't have chocolate, cocoa, citrus fruit, vanilla, bananas, caffeine, (coffee, alcohol or tea) while participating in this study.

They cut the MRIs out of my schedule for the altitude study. I'm not sure if it's because it's so difficult to schedule it or if it's because of the metal plate in my wrist... At any rate, I'm disappointed because that's one of the more interesting things, in my opinion. *sigh*

After work I'm meeting Elizabeth and we're going to the robot wars at MIT. Good times ahead.
