Dinner. That is what I forgot. Should go scrounging in the kitchen. CJ has been off on an evidence search, so I think I was waiting for him to get home and hadn't look at the time.

The numbing stuff on my foot has worn off and now it is sore from the cortisone shot. Better than the shooting pain, but ugh.

Congrats on Homer Bailey, Steph.

ita, for a metaphor would a web work -- it's the opposite of a single continuum?

Second no-hitter in 10 months! (Sorry about the loss, though.)

Nah, it's okay, Giants are playing like crap lately, and we have key people hurt. I am happy for you and my Dusty.

So cool. And what a great name, especially for baseball. Sounds like he grew up in Field of Dreams or something.

I am sad that both the tomatoes I tried to eat today had suspicious looking dark greenish gunk down toward the bottoms, so into the trash they went. It did lower my carb load enough to try the nummy appetizer a co-worker brought in (just-baked ciabatta bread with cream cheese, homeade basil pesto, and sundried tomato on top).

2-d metaphor - is using a plane with two axes no good?

No, it's the two that's the problem. Privileging two answers is only a hair better than one, and smacks of not learning the lessons in objectivity. But Kat's web is a good suggestion! Thank you both for thinking about it.

(Watch her not care--this is me caught up in semantics)

I just realised I haven't thought through what breakfast tomorrow was going to be. I bought steel cut oats, but I am way out of the groove of making that methodically and deliciousestly.

That's very cool. I'm just in the phase of the summer where I start chopping and freezing fruit--will that sustain fruit mash (avoiding juice for the glycemic thingummy)?

Wish I was hungry, but I had an iced mocha after lunch and then I got on a bus, and then I was about to barf and had to hop off the bus over a mile before my stop. Which required me to go to Walgreens and buy bandaids to put on my foot so I could walk the rest of the way home, since there was no way I could get back on the bus.

As it was, I got home at 5:30 and had to lay down and I'm only just now comfortable drinking something without worrying I'm going to be sick.

Man, I hate my motion sickness.

OTOH, the cleaners came and my house is pleasantly clean, although I only just now realized that two windows were broken in the fire. Bah.

will that sustain fruit mash (avoiding juice for the glycemic thingummy)?

I haven't tried straight up fruit, but it should be fine. I think I tried some berry concoction that was mostly fruit and a little yogurt and that froze up no problem. It has a problem with high fat content stuff, which doesn't freeze solid enough, just gets sort of ice cream like and lets the stick pull out leaving most of the popsicle still in the mold. Alcohol is said to be a problem if you use too much, also, but I haven't tested that. Yet. Seems like the sort of thing that is only a matter of time.

That sounds pretty unpleasant, Consuela. Feel better. I'm sorry about the windows, you don't need that.

In dinner news, sometime 3 oz of carnitas is not enough, but 6 oz is just right. Nom.
