I'm going to switch to Splenda or aspertame with coffee and see if that makes a difference.
Stevia! Much better option. And yeah, I get a lot of my oatmeal in smoothies. Less trouble than cooking in this hot climate.
Yes, it's terribly simple. The good guys are always stalwart and true, the bad guys are easily distinguished by their pointy horns or black hats, and, uh, we always defeat them and save the day. No one ever dies, and everybody lives happily ever after.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
Also, Matt, it sounds counterintuitive, but try a little coconut oil in your oatmeal--it actually helps lower cholesterol. Might help with the liver, too. We throw in a handful of walnut pieces and dried cranberries and a dash of pumpkin pie spice (cinnamon, ginger, clove), and it's pretty good.
I like your design, Gud.
I'll second the 'tornadoes bad! Raises good!' sentiments.
That stage sounds more like an ER triage than a theater, sophia.

I don't like the taste of Stevia, personally. But it's worth trying for those who don't mind it.
That's terrific, Bev!

I use stevia in my coffee and I haven't noticed any taste difference from real sugar. I love it!

I skipped running tonight. But it sounds like a long-planned trip down to Portland this weekend is not going to happen, sadly--three of my friends canceled. So at least I can go to running Saturday morning.

Silver lining, I guess. I need to make myself a schedule that includes running time, my half-assed plans to start training again after work on the days when I don't have Tai Chi or bellydance or before work any time have not panned out at all. Need to go full-ass with the plans.
I have my red clothes (plus nevertheless shirt in black) ready for tomorrow. I impulse bought a blue leather jacket because it was marked waaaaaay down and it reminded me of Buffy, so I think I will wear that on Friday, although I will have to figure out what to put under it. And I have plenty of clean clothes to choose from for Thursday. So my morning wardrobe challenges should be minimal. And I have the Gooseberry Bluff audiobook that I don't think I ever listened to, so that's my evening entertainment and then some. This is amazingly on top of things for me lately, so I'm gonna enjoy it.

I've been eating a lot of oatmeal lately and am having a couple of unexpected side effects. At first, I got terrible heartburn, so I added banana, which seems to help. I've also experienced a lot of um...wind. Did not expect that at all. Not sure I can keep this up.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
I don't have much red, so I'm thinking my red tissue tee under my Black Widow "Fight Like A Girl" tee. Or Nevertheless. I haven't had a chance to wear that one yet.
Sometimes my work emails are more entertaining than expected. Like... "Your Amazon.com order of 5 "Gazillion 2 Liters Bubble..." has shipped!"
