Ahh, sunshine

It's really nice out today. It's sunny, and warm, and I'll be spending large parts of it in the dark. I'm not letting that stop me though, I'm going to go out there and soak up some of that vitamin D. I already spent some time out on the patio and I resolve to spend more time.

Last night was opening for this show, so there was a party afterward. That means free food! I enjoyed the little crab cakes, and the toast with toppings, but I really enjoyed the stuffed mushroom caps. I think I had five of those. The big letdown was that there were no desserts. What the hell. I was looking forward to many flavors of tiny cake.

I bought a 4 lb. box of strawberries at Costco the day before yesterday. They were big, surprisingly nice and sweet, and I threw out 2 moldy ones the day after I bought em. Booo! I'm going to have to freeze the rest of them before they all go off. They should stay fresh longer than that, dammit.

What a time waster

A couple weeks ago I called my doctor to get a prescription refill. They gave me the refill, and told me to come in to test my blood pressure. So I scheduled the appointment today at 3:30, assuming the we'd be done rehearsing by then. (We've been in tech for over a week now.) We weren't, and are still rehearsing, so I got my boss to cover for me for an hour to go to this appointment. (Rehearsal ended at 4.)

When I got there, after I paid my copay and everything, they tell me that I didn't need to be there because I'm not taking the medication for my blood pressure.* So I paid them, and didn't get paid for the hour of work I missed, just to drive to frikkin Kansas. Great.

At least the weather was nice and sunny!

* Although my doctor emphasized that I should take care of my thyroid soon, because letting it go can lead to problems. Sigh.

I fell victim to a checkout line impulse buy the other day. There was this bag of Cracker Jack, just begging me to buy it. So I did. But I haven't eaten any of it yet. The moment hasn't been right. I might have had some Monday, but I had some peanut butter ice cream. I might have had some yesterday, but instead I had a big ginger cookie. I might have some today, but I had half a slice of lemon meringue pie already. I'm trying to eat less sugar. But I am feeling a little hungry.

I'm in tech, so I'm usually hungry and snacking in the afternoon, then pretty full after dinner. We're here until 11, and it's 8:30 now- I think I'll be having another snack soon.

9:30- I have eaten some Cracker Jack, and it isn't as good as I remember. :(
