Food delivery is awesome. Also making money on belly dancing is awesome!

Jesse, we keep telling mom we will just roll a dumpster up. We kind of did last summer—you can get these like, ikea-bag type things that are dumpster size and then you call to get them picked up. But yeah, 35 years in a four bedroom house...and my parents are packrats...

Also I went out dancing and got a little drunk and was convinced after pizza to dance at a second place and now I'm in a lot of pain owwww. Time for an ice pack on my ankle. And painkiller. But fun times.

Happy Easter to my Buffista Peeps!

Happy Easter! There were no Easter baskets waiting for us when we got up*, so I can only assume that Murderbiscuit ate the Easter Bunny when he showed up.

*(We stopped doing Easter baskets for each other because we both have been cutting WAY back on sugar [for different reasons], and both of us believe that an Easter basket should be candy or nothing, so...nothing.)

There are 3 areas in our house that are just about worthy of being on the Hoarders TV show: the extra bedroom, the attic, and the basement. We probably need to get the basement treated for mold, so we're going to have the 1-800-GOT-JUNK guys show up with a truck or dumpster or whatever and let them take 95% of what's in the basement. I cannot WAIT. If that goes well, maybe Tim will be amenable to tackling the extra bedroom.

I had chicken korma last night too but not takeout. We took advantage of being at the grandparents house for the weekend to go out.

This is the first year ever that I didn't have an Easter basket. Sad, but diet restrictions would make it a basket of celery and carrot sticks and that would just be sad. Next year!

1-800-Got-Junk is expensive. $165 just to get them to the door (at least here). They don't reduce the price based on whether something can be resold or recycled, that's just to reassure the customer that everything is not just going to the landfill. But they are fast and easily available.

Happy Easter, peeps!

I've used 1-800-GOT-JUNK a couple times when I had big things to dispose of that I couldn't sell or just couldn't deal with. Kind of expensive, but worth it. Make a phone call and it's gone.

I used to do Easter baskets for the whole family, even after the kids were teenagers, and then including their current gfs (little token baskets, a bunny, some jellybeans, etc.). When my dad was diagnosed diabetic, I put him together a basket with pretty carrots with the tops on, celery sticks in ziplock bags to stay fresh, boxes of raisins (oy, what I didn't know then about sugar!) and white grapes as "jellybeans."

What I've found for me is white grapes skyrocket my blood sugar *worse* than eating sugar cubes out of hand. I don't know if it's the same for anybody else, including Dad, but they're absolutely the *worst* thing I can eat. He seemed appreciative of the effort, but never appeared to care very much, and the kids moved out, so, no more baskets.

I skipped church, that was planned - I needed one day to sleep in after getting up before my normal up time the last three days. Met the parents for brunch at a very night new place.

Now I am home and I really need to start in on work, but I just want to nap.

I made a pot of decaf coffee so maybe drinking that will jumpstart my brain into thinking it should be awake. Maybe should turn on the tv too, I won't work as fast, but it will keep me awake.

Both of my parents are worried out of their minds about mac. "What is he going to do after graduation?" And I have no answer for them. Literally no idea what he is going to do. It's like a race to the nervous breakdown. Will it be me or him?
