Now, I can hold a note for a long time...actually I can hold a note forever. But eventually that's just noise. It's the change we're listening for. The note coming after, and the one after that. That's what makes it music.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

You are all making me hungry. It is not fair to talk about breakfast at night.

I gutted it out through performing tonight, despite totally not feeling it, and it was fine, but took a shit ton of energy. Plus there was lots of jumping around just on general principle, and there was a gigantic group of high schoolers in the audience, so just high energy all around. So I came home wiped, and ravenous. I inhaled the SO's giant bowl of popcorn (it was okay, he was already asleep) but I'm still starving reading all this. A big hunk of cheddar cheese would go a long way, since I am, as always, Kat. But I don't have a big hunk of cheddar cheese. I have Gouda, but somehow that's not the same, plus the SO would wonder what happened to it. I do have regular oatmeal, not steel cut, so I could have some nearly instant gratification, except that it's over there and I'm over here...hmph.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

Oo that's a good idea, Suzi. I have a TJs right up the block. Kinda dangerously close.

We're very stretchy. - Connie Neil

I just took a computer break to finally unpack and wash the two boxes of crystal I got from my aunt. It was originally my great-grandma's and grandma's; Aunt Barb had to get rid of just about everything when she went into assisted living, so since she had already given me Great-Grandma Alida's crystal lamp, I got the rest of it as well. Turns out, I now have three unmatched candlestick holders (or maybe they're stem vases?), a huge oval centerpiece bowl that weighs a ton, what looks like a candy jar with a lid topped with a finial that looks like the top of a Prussian war helmet, and a much simpler candy jar-like container that comes from Sweden (Grandma must have bought it there when she and Grandpa visited his old home in 1972). I cleaned off my tchotchke shelves and put them up there, where they don't look too bad.

I need more tchotchke shelves, though.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I've been in the waiting room two hours. Do much for coming in early. I'm scared I won't make it home in time, but I can't do another day, much less week like this.

I wish you lived near me, ita. My local community hospital has a website that keeps a running update of ER wait times, which is often under 5 minutes. While they wouldn't be my first choice for a life-threatening gunshot wound, for stuff that I've had like earaches and kidney stones they've been really great.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

All the talk about oatmeal is making me want bacon and a cheese omelette.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

My usual breakfast, when I have time to cook it, is Bob's Red Mill 5-Grain Hot Cereal cooked with almond milk. I like the multigrain cereal much better than plain oatmeal.

Now tagless for your comfort.

I don't do very much dried fruit--I prefer fresh--mostly bananas which are also carbtastic.

I found a whole grain bread that I truly love, which has been great. I tried 12 grain bread but switched back to 9 grain because those three extra grains were just overkill.

I still put butter and jam on it, though. And sometimes, Nutella.

I should try some whey protein in my diet--especially in the morning.

My sistah in protein-appreciation!

I just had 5 biscuits and 5 pieces of turkey bacon for breakfast, with a glass of grape juice to wash it all down. I predict lunch will be late and light, or possibly nonexistent.

hip deep in pie

I had oatmeal with some frozen blackberries thrown in. And a couple of breakfast sausage.
