That is fantastic, Steph!
Hmm. It's sounds like the finest party I can imagine getting paid to go to.

High five for the awesome suggestion to your neighbors, Steph!
Weird question: is anyone else a two-fisted drinker in the morning?
Oh, yeah. I usually have a can of La Croix in one hand and a coffee cup in the other.

We're looking at a high of 97 today. It's not that hot yet, but it's pretty warm for this early.
Coffee bar was closed, woes! I am at a loss.

Love it, Steph!
Must remember to talk to my doctor about medical marijuana. They've yet to set up any dispensaries here in MA, I believe the protocol is setting you up with a private (licensed) grower with very strict conditions.
Right now I'm at about 5 for discomfort, having taken Tylenol about two hours ago, so anything that I could do that wouldn't involve opiates (which add vague nausea to my condition) would be a good thing.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
You guys, I thought I was feeling better when I woke up today, but even though I've eaten a normal breakfast (oatmeal with applesauce, protein powder, and strawberries, followed by a banana), I have what feel like low-blood-sugar shakes something fierce. I'm full from breakfast, so I don't know what to do. (Tim is at work, or else I'd be bothering him with this. Although he's HORRIBLE at crises, and generally just sits there looking at me with a really worried look on his face and doesn't offer ANY help, including asking if I want to go to urgent care. He freezes up and just looks worried. And I'm sure he is genuinely worried, but he's zero help at a solution. If I tell him what I neeed -- aka, please drive me to urgent care now -- he'll do it, but he will never ever EVER come up with a solution on his own, and I truly fear for the day I break a bone and he can't decide on his own that that warrants a trip to the ER.)
Anyway, side rant about husband over. What the shit should I do? Eat more? If so, what? I'm really full and don't want more food, but these shakes are worrying me. Oatmeal with fruit and protein powder covers the complex carbs/fiber as well as a lot of protein. So what now?

Peanut butter on a spoon is what I do in that situation.

This house has no shortage of peanut butter. I can give that a shot.

Sorry you're hurting, Theo.
Starbucks drive thru + gift card = breakfast. It's not good, and it's not what I ordered, exactly, but that's what I get for deciding to eat.
ETA: yikes, Tep! I hope the peanut butter helps.

Dang it, still pukey. That was gross. I don't want to go to urgent care. I can just deal with this at home, right? It's just a stomach bug.

Hope the peanut butter helps, Steph. If not, I'd try a lie down.
Matt, your love of chicken livers reminds me of my mother. She loved them too. I find them pretty inedible myself, even when prepared by a proper Jewish deli. As a side note, I do love the Moosewood recipe for vegetarian chicken livers (if memory serves, it's made out of walnuts and green beans instead) as it has all the flavor that I like and none of the flavor that I don't.
