I am in my own house, which is kind of a relief.
You do well to flee, townspeople! I will pillage your lands and dwellings! I will burn your crops and make merry sport with your more attractive daughters! Ha ha ha! Mark my words! Ooh! Ale! I smell delicious ale!

I had a cup of tomato soup and some popcorn that smonster gave away before she left. Both were yummy.

I made a potato-ham-and-cheese casserole for my father and grandmother for dinner, which was well received along with some sort of glazed carrots. Delish.

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.
I take that cookie or those corn chips and the next thing I know, I wake up in the alley with a baguette.
I sympathize so, so much with this, bonny.

I made an asian noodle salad for dinner. dressing was ginger, soy sauce, siracha, toasted sesame oil, and peanut oil. I tossed the noodles in it, then added tomatoes, cucumber, shrimp, and cilantro. Tasty.

Because books.
We had homemade pizza, which could have been better, honestly. Now I need ice cream.

Bless your heart.
I just wish I could always and forever remember that I need to just leave that stuff alone. But I slip...and then have to fight so hard to get back to balance.
It feels pretty good though.

Dinner was dark meat turkey chop with steamed chard and campari tomatoes with fresh basil. Really nice.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
I exhibit all the alcoholic tendencies of my kin (all of my kin), only with unfermented grains.
There is a similar chemical imbalance in the brain with genetic alcoholism and ADD. StY is ADHD and at any time before the age of ten he would have enthusiastically mugged another kid for a candy bar. StE skipped the sugar problems, but past puberty he had alcoholic tendencies. The sugar affected them (and me) the same way.
ETA: "How much did you drink?" All of it.
"How many cookies did you eat?" All of them. And all the ice cream. And those candy bars you had hidden in the laundry room? Yeah those too. Got any M&Ms?
