I still have what looks like enough money for groceries
May I suggest tacos?
It's simple. I slap 'em around a bit, torture 'em, make their lives hell...Sure, the nice guys'll run away,but every now and then you'll find a prince like Spike who gets off on it.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
I have also figured out that, given what I know about my income and obligations for the first half of August, I should be spending no more than $200/month on food (and anything else that isn't bills, really) and that's a bummer. $50/week is just not a lot of groceries. I think I figure this out every month and am sad about it every time like it's brand new information. Living within my means is hard. When I just couldn't live within my means it was, in some ways, easier because if I know I'm going deeper in debt no matter what, what's going a little deeper a little faster matter, but the difference between staying afloat and sinking seems like a more important line to not cross if I can manage it. Most first world problem ever?

Oh, geez, no -- I think food budgeting is fraught and for damn good reason.

In food news, Turkey Hill did a survey and America's favorite ice cream flavor is "choco mint chip" (not sure if they mean mint ice cream with chocolate chips - which is what I'd guess - or chocolate ice cream with mint chips). In bad ice cream news, Kraft is going to sell a limited edition macaroni and cheese ice cream. um ....

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.
Have you considered Parmesan cheese ice cream? [link]

I will now. That sounds intriguing.
I am less intrigued by mac and cheese ice cream but I would try it if given the opportunity. Might be good, who knows?

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

I know. I know it would not be good.

Now I don't know what to think. My instinct is to believe Dana, but mac and cheese casts a pretty compelling spell (I have tried a number of dishes that include mac and cheese in some unlikely way that are not so much bad as just not worth the effort and I have clearly not learned my lesson)

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

I'm like 95% sure it will not be good but I would try it once just to say I did.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
I do not want savory ice cream. No thank you.
- t that sucks re:budgeting. Is there any way to reduce other expenses?
The last 2 days I have felt increasingly bad as the day went on. Headache, chills inside (no fever), sluggish, slightly upset stomach. Yesterday after I walked the dogs and fed them, I laid out in the recliner with a throw over me and drank water and listened to podcasts. Around 8 I fell asleep, so when I woke up I took the dogs out one more time and went to bed. Felt great this morning, got up early and everything. Now I am yuck again.
