I only ever use tomato paste for batches of chili, and that takes two whole cans, so no leftovers.
Well, look who just popped open a fresh can of venom.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Can you believe there's a reality show out there called The Cougar?
And I'm not on it?
Beggars belief.

I love the idea of freezing the tomato paste. I usually just buy a tube since that seems to keep in the fridge long enough for me to use it all.
Hmm. Now I want to make chili. I should try out my new crock pot.
I am so tired. My stretch teacher today decided to have us do all abs and lower back. I needed it, but ouch! It's a 1 1/2 hour class.

That is too funny, ita.
How are you feeling, btw?

Jealous of your stretch class, FTR. And cranky from lack of sleep. Lunesta is not my friend. Unless I have dilaudid in my system it seems I don't sleep, which is terrible.

I'm sorry about the jealous and the cranky, esp the cranky. You have my empathy. I hate feeling sleep deprived.
With the kids around I don't trust myself taking anything like Ambien, or even Lunesta, so I've been stuck with melatonin for the past 6 months or so. Seems to be helping to slowly improve my sleep. Emphasis on the slowly. But still, I'm thankful my sleep is finally improving.

I think Lunesta is supposed to be fine, but Ambien probably isn't a good idea if there's anything you need to be accountable for the next morning. Lunesta's not a hypnotic or a memory-wiper, so it should be okay, as far as I've read.
Not that it works for me, so by my experience it'd be totally fine.
It's very irritating because I go to bed when I start yawning, just in case, but I'll happily lie in bed for an hour, yawning. How am I supposed to know when to try and sleep?

Compassionately intolerant
In thres last three weeks of dreadful uti-ness, the answer to when I should try to sleep has pretty much been anytime I can lie down. Still hasn't worked, on most occassions.
There is very little that is more frustrating than sleeplessness in my universe. Can't think straight, can't get anything done, can't heal. Total fail.
I'm so sorry ita, that in the midst of everything else, sleep is eluding you. What an unfair pisser.

Sigh. Well, I do want to sleep. Maybe I'll stick with my fairly useless melatonin. It may not really work that well, but at least it's available OTC.
I'm sorry that Lunesta isn't working for you. I hate not being able to sleep, or not being able to stay asleep. That's my downfall, sounds like it's yours too.
