Oh, happy day! I have found a place that sells 2-liter bottles of diet cream soda! On sale, even! I drank an entire bottle in a span of time so short I cannot even admit to it. My bladder was not happy. I was going to the bathroom so often, I would have thought I was coming down with diabetes if I didn't already have it ( Read more... )

Ugh, randomly woke up at 3 am today with no hope of going back to sleep. On the plus side, it meant I had no reason not to make it in to morning meditation, which I have been woefully absent from lately. See, one day I was taking my usual long-acting insulin, thinking maybe I should even bump the dose up a notch, and then just 24 hours later my ( Read more... )

I went to a little Russian grocery store today! I got hazelnut cookies, kefir, and a jar of something that I'm pretty sure is pickled garlic, but I can't say 100% until I eat some, since the label is not in English. I sure hope I guessed right. I looooooove pickled garlic.

Note: this post contains mentions of disordered eating behaviors.I have Type 1 diabetes. I've had it for a couple months -- or, I guess, I've had it all my life and finally became symptomatic enough at the end of July to get a diagnosis. It is a phenomenally lucky thing that this happened at a time in my life when I have a physically undemanding ( Read more... )

We've been in the new apartment for a week now. The move out of the old place was the usual complete disaster, despite all my this-time-I'll-get-it-right preparations -- up all night, no time left to clean (and a deep cleaning very sorely needed), stuff accidentally left behind, stuff thrown out only to be needed later. I'm sure we'll get some kind ( Read more... )

Supposably (tm Joey Tribbiani) (well, technically tm one of Chandler's ex-girlfriends, but Joey is the one we always quote using it) (David, what have you done to me to make me know these things?) they have fixed our wall-unit AC. The note left by the maintenance guy said it would cool things off at 1 degree per hour. So we are looking at ten hours ( Read more... )

Made it in for zazen (Zen sitting meditation) this morning, despite being on Day 2 of Yet Another Great Decaffeinating. It was pretty much a wreck -- either my mind was skipping around a mile a minute, or I'd get it calm and quiet and then doze off. Though the guy sitting next to me was dozing off even more than I was! Hopefully everyone else in ( Read more... )

Today I went out to lunch with my awesome (and also newly married) friend Sarah. I had a Monte Cristo for the first time ever. Seriously good eats!

Another lazy evening at home. Got some one-month-anniversary Buffalo Wild Wings grub and watched the Rifftrax of Highlander, which was funny, but I wouldn't put it in the top ten or anything ( Read more... )

Don't get me wrong -- I love novels and multi-season TV series and long-running webcomics. But that well-turned snippet, that tiny distillation that gets something exactly right -- discovering one of those is the best fix in the world ( Read more... )
