Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

The craft fair was not a success for me - only sold 4 ornaments. I got lots of compliments but then they would move on. If only I had thought to embroider toilet paper. That table made a bunch of money selling $5 rolls of toilet paper.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Kathy, good to see you! Glad the surgery went well.

Oh. Is that why I couldn't get into anything? Stoopid Time Warner.
It did get me off my ass enough to start the mushroom and beef stew (with smoky chiptole! and blue cheese!) which I will finish baking tomorrow. I forgot to make a roux for the gravy but oh well. I'm still winging it.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
I lost 30 pounds a few years ago doing Atkins. I felt really good on the very-low-carb diet, but Stuff Happened and I got really stressed and went back to the comfort foods and gained about 15 pounds back. Now since I've moved here, back to the Land of Dumplings and Pie, and I'm horribly sedentary, and I've gained back everything I lost. This isn't the heaviest I've ever been, but it's about 85 pounds more than what I want to weigh.
I've considered just saying, screw it, I'm never gonna be thin again and I don't care; it's not worth the mental turmoil. But I'm not happy. My back hurts, my feet hurt, my legs hurt; I physically cannot do most of the things I want to do, and even more than wanting to look good and be sexy and wear pretty clothes, I want to dance and hike and spend a leisurely couple hours walking around a mall or a museum, and join my thin little sister and nieces and friends on the fun things they do, and I just can't. I'm trying to keep that in the front of my mind as I embark on yet another attempt to lose about 80 pounds.
(I just watched Percy teh Emo Cat get up on the fridge, open the cabinet door, and disappear inside. Now I know where he hides! And I totally can't reach him, either. He's not so dumb as he pretends to be.)

Mom reports her internets are back. Might not help LA yet, but it's a start.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
billytea, please explain your mutant manimal making continent.
What's to explain? Australia rocks the evolution, and rocks it hard.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
It's back! I'm back! And my phone switches orientation too, now, but I swear less often than it used to.
In the interim, however, I totally convinced myself I wanted a G2. I'm pretty shameless. What don't you like about it, brenda?

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!
I can't say how long it will last, but I am on a new drug for diabetes. Not all insurance co cover it , not every one can tolerate it. For me it has been a miracle. the concept of eating until you felt full was an interesting idea. I didn't know what that meant until now. I never felt full. Now I do . I Just don't eat the way I used to . It is odd, but amazing. and , well , easy. I suspect I'll hit a plateau, but that might mean pay a little attention to what I am eating.
