Your dream, while disturbing, sounds fascinating. WHEN you go back to post-apocalypse genre try The Road or Swansong.
If you want something FUN to read, try The Magic Thief. It's a young adult book and I reviewed it on my journal recently. Have you read Snow Flower and the Secret Fan? It's about 18th century China and about the inequality of women at that time. Goes into the foot-binding in extreme detail.
The Scale: Muscle weighs more than fat. You are developing more muscle, so YES, your jeans are a better gauge of your "weight".
I read The Road as soon as it came out. It was about as grim a book as I think exists.
I read your review of The Magic Thief and it sounds wonderful.
And oooooh, Snow Flower and the Secret Fan sounds right up my alley! Thank you!
Mister Bodie bear has made a very unexpected recovery. The vet was in shock when we took him in on Monday. He has a large cancerous growth on his side, but at this point he is so spry, agile, and alert that we are just really thankful. Chip likens this to when the pinball game is over and then you get another ball. Bodie is living on "bonus time". We expect little, and are grateful for every day he keeps going.
Life is sometimes so surprisingly kind, when you least expect it.
Well, you see...the thing is that he has tons of these "fatty cyst" type tumors, and they are massive. Like grapefruit to football size! And let's face it, he's old, and probably won't last all that much longer.
We adore our vet, and he basically said that as long as he's not in pain there is no real reason to do anything about the tumors, benign or otherwise.
Our beagle has been getting fatty tumors FOREVER. Some we had to have removed because they were causing problems. However, we leave them alone when we can.

The growth is nothing they can remove?
Is he getting any meds for it?
