It's good to have cargo. Makes us a target for every other scavenger out there, though, but sometimes that's fun too.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

I am not hungry when I leave work, but I try to eat my big meal at lunch and I drink tea or water all afternoon. I keep a handful of frozen dinners and I almost never cook a single meal at a time. Multiple meals cooked on the weekend or on a night I am feeling productive.

Last year, I tried to prep once a month and then cook at home most days. Now we make a big load of meat, usually grilled chicken, once a week and we eat that in various guises all week. Usually salads.

I've been also trying to eat eggs more, especially shirred or poached, particularly with avocado.

How do normal people cook/eat dinner?

I'm experimenting with poached eggs on salads! Mine... don't look good yet, but they taste fine.

Poached eggs on salads are delicious. I love salad on top of toast with a poached egg on top of that. I like toast for the sopping.

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

Why do you have to be low glycemic?

Pain control recommendations.

And what's your metaphor question again? You're looking for a continuum that's not a line?

Yeah, basically. Not trying to say that it's either A or B or somewhere inbetween. I might suggest tableaux. That's the best I can think of right now.

I would think the opposite

Such is the problem with most of the information coming from people who're pitching weight loss. When you start googling pain control diets, shit gets totes random.

I do wish eggs were an option. Damn.

Wholefoods had brilliantly packaged chicken--if Costco had done this while I was a member, I might not have drifted away--they sell packages of six thighs or breasts that are three sets of two, so you can split along the dotted line without breaking the seal, thereby saving the singletons from having to repackage upon getting home.

I need to get back into the crock pot swing of things--that was a good couple months--no ordering in, few excuses...

Gotta say, trying to pay attention to whole grains, etc, made it the cheapest 3 bags of Wholefoods groceries I think I've ever bought.

SHIT. I was so glad when I saw the 4pm meeting was cancelled. It wasn't until 3 that I saw it was re-sent for 4:30. Because, erm, I'm presenting. And the slide deck was still unwritten.

Written now, though.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

Seems like a weird place to film something like that... oh, unless they're going for the dank, apocalyptic underworld toilet that is Lower Wacker.

I'm betting on a night shoot under the Lake St tracks, although Lower Wacker seems likely too.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

OK, testing my new ipad keyboard. Got it working, but biggest issue so far is that there's a "paste" button right where my fingers expect the "backspace" button to be. Grr. Otherwise, I'm hoping this will help me keep more talky while traveling--I feel like I read all the time, but hardly post because it's such a pain to do more than like, a sentence. So far this keyboard is not the best setup (it's also propper rather awkwardly on my lap) but it's much much faster than typing on the actual ipad. Though no autocorrect. Hmm..
