Unless I'm explicitly taking a long lunch, I don't want to walk more than 2 long/4 short blocks to get it.

Matt which place in Tallahassee?

I don't drive to lunch, as I'd lose my parking space. Most everything here in Highland Park can be walked to in under 10 minutes.

When I worked in the outskirts of Evanston I'd often ride my bike downtown for lunch. That would take less than 10 minutes.

I haven't worked that algorithm out yet, Zen. I have added a "miles from work" field in my restaurant database, but I hardly ever go out to lunch. But I will today! Hm, maybe BK. I had thought I'd go get the Reuben Wrap I already had planned for tomorrow, but then I have to figure out tomorrow's lunch...

Thanks, y'all. It's just a day of feeling bad even though I have no actual problems.

msbelle, I'm a size 16 at the moment. I'll check with you if I get down to a 10-12 range. I actually have tons of clothes and usually I like most of them, but today they all suck, you know?

Walter totally has the plastic/tasrps/whatever flapping in the wind fear. Also ladders, for some reason. Dogs are just weird, sometimes.

I just drove over 4 miles for BK, I drove 7 miles for the furthest away lunch place I went at the old job. difference is with BK I am driving thru and bringing back to the office at at the old place that was driving to a sit down place.

I've mostly stopped going to fast food places for anything besides McDonalds breakfasts. Sometime I go to Popeyes because their fried chicken is nummy.

Suzi, health~ma for K-Bug!

I almost never drive anywhere for lunch; either I bring my own or I walk to a restaurant nearby. There are really only 3 or 4 places with good (vegetarian) lunch options nearby, but that's just about enough, since I try to bring a lunch most days.

Lunch choices are:

1. Packed myself 2. Drive home - 1.1 mile 3. Walking distance options Sushi, Thai, Greek, Seafood, Italian, Wendy's, and more 4. Walking distance large grocery store 5. Drive up to 20 minutes because must have XYZ

Did I mention I love my new office?

I don't take longer than an hour for lunch. However far I can get in that time and eat decently is near enough. However, I need to walk past a cafe and a restaurant I really like to get out of our office complex--just to get to my car--so i rarely go far. I'm at least trying to eat there instead of coming back to my desk. Buying fish helps.

Last night the neuro on call went WAY above and beyond the call to handle both me and my medication. Talking me back into the hospital after a nurse had reached out to security to tell them I was "combative" was no mean feat.

I told his boss to thank him again for me. He made everything happen. And used words like respect and dignity, with the craxxy POV that patients warranted both.

They're gonna order one more round of meds (that was weird for a moment, when they discontinued all the meds except for Pepcid) and then send me home. Please pharmacy, hurry up.

Finally caught up. And will probably fall behind pronto. All this move crap is sucking up time and energy like a mofo.

Just wanted to add my condolences to Consuela and my dismay that you had to wait so long for a resolution with the hospice.

And now to probably go gray again.
