i think my body is grudgingly coming around. today, whilst out buying wrapping paper for stella's bday gifts, i realized that i was not freezing to death and was, on the contrary, quite warm. it is still cold as fuck here, but i don't feel like i'm going to die anymore when i set foot outside. i realize this is probably a result of the cold playing its little cold games and it will throw a case of hypothermia my way in a moment's notice, laughing icily at my downfall as i perish, face down in the snow. we would need snow first, and we haven't had any of that for over a week. it has been miraculously dry this week, which is great. it is still somber and gray most of the time, but i can live with that as long as i'm not soaked to the bone by freezing cold rain the minute i walk out of the apartment building.
tomorrow is thanksgiving, so i spent the morning baking pies--pumpkin (2), sweet potato, and cherry respectively. i also ate an entire container of frosting today. don't ask. i'm not proud of it, but i'm also not ashamed. shit was delicious and it was spread out over the entire day. no, i did not use it as a dip for anything (i.e. cookies, etc.). i put spoon after spoon into it and ate the motherfucker by itself. it's what's great about being an adult and having the house to yourself for most of the day. unfortunately, it was for stella's birthday cake on friday, so i had to replace it immediately, as the commissary is closed on thursday and friday. also, it gave me a severe stomach ache. i was not surprised by the stomach ache, however. i won't be repeating this experience for awhile, though i won't rule out its reoccurring completely.
sidetrack--though the word sidetrack does imply i had a point to start with. i would like some publix chicken strips. i've been thinking about them a lot, especially now that my stomach ache is gone. i used to have them at least once per week while in the states. you just can't duplicate them. they are delicious.
as you can see, nothing is going on here besides gluttony and plans of gluttony to be realized in the not-so-distant future. i plan on overeating tomorrow (it's what the founding fathers would want) and probably the day after. plans of future gluttony: the day after i get back to the states, i plan on overdosing on three pounds of publix chicken strips and one gallon of barbecue sauce for dipping. it will be a happy death.
nothing much going on. we are having a few people over tomorrow, but it should be relaxing. we'll see...
gluttony,
holidays,
food
