health
A nutritionist in Brazil told me that I eat too much bread. I do, not because I like it, but because of its function, being the stuff in which I can put my cheese / chicken / fish. Likewise, the reason I used to drink too much milk was because I needed a medium for my cereal.
But, yesterday at work, having missed the regular lunch, I ended up eating too much bread during the "Friday snack" (bread was all they had by the time I arrived!). A few hours later, arriving at home, hungry, I thought to myself "Right now, I need more of the other food groups, namely the fruits/veggies group and the chicken/cheese group". Since I had tomatoes and mushrooms in the fridge, I decided to make tomatoes + mushrooms, using absolutely no bread and not even oil: just tomatoes and mushroom, fried in the pan. Surprisingly enough, it worked: it tasted good, especially with some cheese on top. I made me a repeat portion with chicken in it.
While cooking, I received an email from a Logic student who I met during a lecture on PhilSci, very nicely inviting me to a party of his girlfriend's, so after this great healthy meal, followed by a long shower, which made me quite happy and singing, I went to the party, and had fun talking about practical philosophical stuff... He had read my notebooks and halfbakery ideas, and we talked very enthusiastically about languages for expressing "pure thought", etc.

On the other hand, my turbinates are still blocking my nose at night. I often wake up tired and unable to sleep again. The flixonase doesn't seem to be working well enough. I think I will go under the knife soonish... maybe I should wait until the summer, to do it with the company of my family in Brazil, and with good doctors.
