I met my pal ida for dinner tonight. This is momentous because ida does not live in Maine, she’s just visiting/on Vacation. We met at the Dunstan School Buffet restaurant in Scarborough and we stayed until closing time.
It was lovely.
Now I am at home, internetting, as you do, and missing Edmund. But he’s off having fun adventures of his own (playing pinball).
I am also procrastinating, but that’s a way of life about now.
I have a new drug. Will be starting it tonight, as soon as I get some beverage.
I should get some beverage.
I got some beverage and took my pills. Go me.
Which is making me think, if you’ve been following along, you should know that I quit drinking Coca Cola every day a few months ago. (Well, I wasn’t drinking Coke at home, but I was drinking a lot at work.) And when I just got my beverage, I grabbed some of my home-made iced tea (I also quit drinking Arizona iced tea, which was what I was drinking at home). And that seems to be working out for me. Except that sometimes it’s a pain in the ass to remember to make (it’s easy to make, but I’ve got to boil water twice and wait for it to cool off before I pour it in the bottle and store it in the fridge.) Right now I try to keep two full bottles of tea in the fridge, and I am almost out of one of them. But instead of making tea, I am internetting, as you do.
I have noticed that when I do drink soda (I still have soda when I go out to eat sometimes) I drink less of it than I used to. Tonight I had one-and-a-half Mountain Dews. I might have drank many more if I was still on the juice. Earlier this week I went out to eat and I got iced tea instead (the add-your-own-sugar kind). I don’t really miss the Coke. This is huge for me.
HUGE.
It’s a slippery slope, tho. I know that I could just as easily slip back into drinking Coke more often. So I will maintain the same “rules” I’ve had over the past few months: no Coke at home, none at work, it’s okay in a restaurant for a treat – but try not to do it more than once a day. When traveling this might become difficult, but I’m just going to let that shit go.
Like this post. It is done.
