The part of the concrete building in which I have an office is circa 1950. One of these days, a nothin' quake is going to send my window flying. I only hope the direction it takes is out towards the dumpsters (of which I have a lovely view) rather than in on me.
I just think you're freakin' out 'cause you have to fight someone prettier than you.

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!
The best thing I have found to deal with craveings like that is
1) radical acceptance. - they are there, the food is there and you know it is the fault of the drug. ( in my case it is a blood sugar thing if I haven't been eating well) ( they won't put me on anything other than inhaled steroids, because of the fun stuff it does to blood sugar)
2) make a deal - I'll eat good food first then I can have the not so good stuff. and I will not eat anything I don't like.
For me the act of denial makes the physical craveing worse.
I don't know if it will help with steroids - but it does seem to modify they ones I get with blood sugar ( both too high and too low will do it - but the too high one is a false craveing)

"I'm stuffed up. I should have a cookie" or "Today was absolute hell so I deserve cake" or even "I just tripped over my own feet. I need peanut m&ms."
Heh. Yeah, that is so me unless I actively am trying to resist that.

What's up with all the stabbing? Are you stabbing people with your hobo knife? You OK, Aimee?

Yeah, I end up eating a lot of salad this way, and not needing the snack.

Why the stabby, Empress?

But since they're building her place, I guess that makes V the anti-Dent.
until they try to knock it down, anyway.
re: tipping
not sure that the first aid qualifies you to reduce your tip. I think that $5 was perfectly fine, as 10-15% is the norm for hair services.
