Any reason I should keep the mortgage payment stubs and maintenance payments stubs of the co-op I sold 5 years ago?

Salty soups, bacon, a good excuse for country ham, fresh tomatoes, plus I've always liked plenty of salt on raw veggies. I think the large amount would only be until my tissues recover.

Clark Howard says you should keep anything that proves you paid something off forever.

I have the letter saying the mortgage balance is zero. I'll keep that.

Boullion cubes might be a good idea. Nice mug of salty broth any time you want one. Or as directed. Whichever is more appropriate.

I never had a cup of tea today. Weird. I feel like I should report on my lunch, though, because it was delish - warm brussels sprouts salad with bacon, shallots, and a poached egg, an "Eastern Spices Gin & Tonic" (I don't recall what all was in it, but it was good, looked like maybe cardamom and peppercorns and basil?), and for dessert orange custard topped with cranberry compote and cardamom whipped cream. So good, and I can probably approximate most of it at home.

Ginger, salt the fucking earth. Jaysus. Much pissyass love to you. I'm glad Zen is there.

I treated myself to dinner out at the nearby fine dining restaurant tonight as they've been advertising beef marrow all week. It was delicious, and for once I was at a place where the live music actually involved playing songs I'm fond of. (It was a solo guitarist who played Elvis, the Eagles, and Gerry Rafferty.)

Eat all the salt. If there is any left over, then use to salt and burn frustrating medical professionals?

Kill them all Ginger! Or have Zen do it for you (so glad she's there!!!)

If it will entertain you--I did end up texting the girl. She texted back, we went back and forth but my initial text asked if she wanted to grab a drink or have a little fun. She didn't answer that part. We were both happening to go to the same show tonight. I chatted her up s bit there, then she and her friends disappeared and I figured it was a bust (and she was just texting to...be nice??). And then my friend and I decided to leave...at which point girl texts me and says I should come to the club she and her friend are at, and dance with her. Uh, ok! So we do. And...nada. She acts as though she has no idea why I came there (I literally said "so did I just come here to dance?" And she acted like she didn't know what I meant. So eventually I just left. Ugh. Women.)

Wonderful to hear that Zen was able to be there for F2F venting. Have some hard salami and cheese and lots of olives for snacks. Soy sauce is lovely salty goodness too.

My mom is not supposed to drink water. Vegetable juice or sports drinks. People who work outside here take salt pills but that may just help with the sweat loss type of low sodium.

Ugh, meara. Girls are supposed to wanna have fun, not just dance the night away.
