he he ... this morning I was listening to the traffic report and there was an accident on Montresor (? spelling?) and I kept thinking of The Cask of Amontillado.
Everything looks good from here... Yes. Yes, this is a fertile land, and we will thrive. We will rule over all this land, and we will call it... 'This Land.' I think we should call it 'your grave!' Ah, curse your sudden but inevitable betrayal! Ha ha HA! Mine is an evil laugh! Now die! Oh, no, God! Oh, dear God in heaven!

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
Apple and peanut butter makes a good snack.
This was my lunch today.
I bought a bunch of meal replacement shake packets for when I need to eat but nothing sounds good/everything is too hard. That mostly works out okay, although sometimes even that is too much.
I have Clif bars for this.

Booze works for me.

I like having Luna bars around for that, but I keep running out

All the things I am out of, I do still have rum. Perhaps a wee nip once I finish logging off the work laptop would not be amiss...

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."
Calli, it was just a very basic chicken salad but with leftover duck shredded instead of chicken. Today's was just mayo and relish because I didn't want to do any chopping.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
I have a cat on my lap. At least she's being quiet....

I think it was G.K. Chesterton who pointed out that most booze is vegetarian ... vegan even.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
I have been unexpectedly (timing-wise) moving to Mom's house and many things out of mine. There have been many boxes taken to my old house because it's a cul de sac, less than ten minutes from the Marine Corps base and that seems the ideal place to have a garage sale that might get more than two people. Many interested in used items for cheap.
Yesterday every single box or crate that I'd worked to get over there and a few pieces of furniture came back. This was not what was agreed to at all.
I spent 16-18 hour days doing my job the last 4-5 weeks, going through Mom's things and in general having everything along one wall ready to have a yard sale this weekend. Except I can't because everything is here, 17 miles away and I'm fucking furious.
To make it better, the guy clearing out of my old place is one of my superiors. Who needed a place to live while the military messed up his move. I am going to preface this with he has good intentions.
Yesterday, I got the random desk, a nice wooden chest and a rocking chair removed. Got my washer and dryer back but realized last night that the dryer won't dry and I either dry on cold or smell gas. Realized today that every single bit of shit I made myself get rid of is back in the garage.
I'm angry and I am so mentally pissed off that I put myself through all of that for nothing. At best, this takes me two months to fix. And I'm tempted to rent a dumpster at each house and just say eff it.

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift
I'm home. Went in for severe abdominal pain, came out a diabetic with a fatty liver and severe spinal degeneration at L5/S1 that currently doesn't bother me at all.
My sugar when I went into the ER was 300. It dropped to 165 yesterday before lunch, but my A1C is 7.9. They put me on Metformin 2x a day. I don't want to take the drugs, but I don't appear to have much choice in the matter. I wanted to try diet and exercise first, but I was discouraged. So now I have to figure out how to like breakfast, and eat on a regular schedule.
I'm a little overwhelmed, and worried that I have to really give up pasta. I want to get the numbers down as quickly as I can though. Not sure I have the right words for how I'm feeling at the moment.
