Ah, well. Tell me to quit being a perfectionist, and stop dithering.

Stop being a Virgo.

Also? Can someone come put me out of my misery. This is definitely the congestion making a return appearance, which means I'm going to have to take more Sudafed, but I can't until after I pick Abby up from school at five.

I feel really, really weird.

Regular tonic water has calories? I always assumed it was just fizzy water with quinine (or whatever the quinine-like ingredient is).

Tonic water contains sugar. In fact, most tonic water is made with HFC. Sad but true.

I was surprised when I found diet tonic water in my dad's cabinet. He said the real stuff is loaded with sugar.

Yep, tonic water has calories, they add sugar, I don't think it's the quinine.

That's why I drink club soda (or "sparkling lime mineral water", according to what I've got in reach at the moment)

Today's half of the interviews were up and down. Some were great, some were bleh. Sadly, the bleh ones were some of the people I'd work more closely with. (Java, the regulatory people were cool!). Sigh. I can't decide if this would be a good move or not...even if they offer me the job...(The one person who thinks she would be my boss but so wouldn't (is a project manager, which is a different department, and is already known to be a difficult person to work with) was trying to tear down my resume from teh stuff I'd said I worked on at the company when I worked there two years ago. Of course, I was all "...I have no idea what the NAME of that project was! I worked here for four months, two and a half years ago!!" Yeesh)

Here's hoping tomorrow will go better, meara.

My brain has mostly calmed down now. I'm not sure what to do about dinner, though -- pretty much every option involves something that I know will trigger more panic. Cooking something means dealing with the mess in the kitchen first. Going out to buy something that I can just microwave means dealing with all the people outside. Ordering in means having to pick from a ton of options, and also dealing with at least some of the kitchen mess.

Huh. A spin around google tells me I can actually buy a caffeine solution...by the gallon...to put in homemade energy drinks. I think I'm scared.

Srsly. Another illusion shattered. I always mentally put tonic water in the same category as club soda/seltzer/sparkling water (all of which are, I realize, slightly different from each other).

Hil, would it help if order in and have us make the choices?

You can eat pizza or Chinese out of the boxes and not have to deal with the mess in the kitchen.
