We had homemade pizza, which could have been better, honestly. Now I need ice cream.
This must be what going mad feels like.

I sympathize so, so much with this, bonny.
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?

I splurged on a chicken caesar flatbread from the local pizza place. And an IPA. NOM.

FINALLY made plans with Taylor. She's coming for dinner next saturday (after a marathon day for me.) She's bringing her boyfriend;) He's only a year older than her, but heading to college in the fall.
Anyway, I think I'm going to see if I can get bulk bbq and biscuits from the bbq guy at the market, make some coleslaw and grab TJ's dessert. And maybe potato salad. My memory of teenage boys is that no matter how much food I provide, it will be consumed. He'll go away hungry no matter what. And I'm not used to cooking for more than me.
Find it charming that she so so wants me to meet this boy.

Now tagless for your comfort.
I made $250 today and yesterday on my rummage sale! Yay for selling old crap! But I still have plenty of crap leftover. Four big bins for the Goodwill and one bin for the consignment shop.

Totally this.
But when I abstain, I'm okay. It really, truly is 'one is one too many.'
Thanks for mentioning the chemical imbalance of it. I'm going to do some research. I sometimes fall into beating myself up for 'knowing better' and still falling off the wagon. Some clinical support might help remind me of just how important restraint really is.
And, funnily enough, someone just asked me today if I have ADD, in conjunction with gluten intolerance. I don't, that I know of, but can totally see the connection.
