mood in my office has been horrible all week. I am afraid things are going to get bad in the next month.

I just had a several-hours-long meeting with a former Olympian, and am now wiped out!

I'm sure your "meeting" was exhausting.

I hope things aren't as bad as you fear. I wish you good luck.

Ahhh, brisket with gravy sandwich. Mmmmmm.

Teppy's mention of garlic bread with the butter dripping made me think of the poorboy sandwiches at Merishka's in Joliet, with "garlic butterine" on the bread.

Now I'm drooling...

My fucking cholesterol is 244! My HDL (good)is 33--also very bad. I didn't think my diet was THAT bad. Guess was wrong.

Glucose was also slightly elevated (105).

I hate my body.

it is only part diet, it is a lot genetic - don't beat yourself up too much. and start on oatmeal and cheerios.

Good lord, it's like someone pulled the hand-brake on the clock this afternoon. I want to be home playing with the cat and drinking prosecco, not brainstorming on key words for the corporate website.

Thanks Gud - the problem is that my fear makes me want to do something (like run far away) to avoid something being done to me (like more work and/or layoff), but my non-lizard brain knows that running away would be a hot mess.

So much this!!! I (over 400 pounds and waaay out of shape) lucked out on the cholesterol gene front, but my brother (who's been mostly thin all his life, and works out on a regular basis) has had to work on reducing his count from 235. So don't beat yourself up over it--blame your parents!!

blame your parents

Oh, yeah. That's definitely going to happen. Mom had triple bypass at 66 and Dad has high blood pressure and cholesterol.

I'll just buy more Cheerios and ignore the Baconaise.
