oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!

ma~~ towards Dana

I have had no coffee this am. Have to take Percy to the vet. This leads to trauma all around. because the cat that is reasonable to us- thinks everyone else is evil. And I don't want to know anything more than he is old. No coffee 'til after the vet.

good news about your dad,Kat. and I am guessing getting back to his regular life with help with the diabetes a lot.

Shit's all sorts of different now.

Glad to hear your Dad's doing well overall, Kat!

And thanks for the article. I'd be interested to see a similar study, but focused on adopted children to see how the food aversion and/or new food fear compares with children raised by their biological children.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

Good Percy visit, beth. Coffee always tastes better earned. No it doesn't. I can't do anything before coffee, not even make coffee. Thank everything I have coffee-making gnomes in my house.

Glad the news on your dad is good, Kat, and all hopes for that trend to continue.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Thanks for the ma! So far, so good.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Good news, Kat.

There is free lunch in my office today which is happy-making...BUT, it is BK Wed, so also sad-making.

I'm not really working yet today. I really should do something about the before the fire me.

I look more rad than Lutheranism

Dad update:

He was discharged from the hospital 2 days.

RIGHT ON!!! He sounds like bionic dad! That EXCELLENT news.

His blood sugar should swing back into normal levels; major surgery screws *everything* up for a little while.

I dunno. That would be a cool study. Further in the article, they quote

Hugh Garvey, an editor at Bon Appétit magazine, knows the heartbreak firsthand. He shares his experience on gastrokid.com, a blog he created with a British pal that details the gastronomic life of families. His daughter, 6, is an omnivore’s dream child. But his son, 3, will eat only brown food.

When I was a nanny, the girl I nannied for would only eat pasta with butter and parmesan cheese, scrambled eggs, bologna, hot dogs, ketchup. If you tried to sneak in green pasta or orange pasta, she wouldn't eat it because she thought you were sneaking a veggie in.
