What MADE your day today?

[Jed_]

Pretty much. 

Yeah, known that a while about you.  And, it’s common; don’t know if you find that comforting or disturbing.

[ChirpingGirl]

I don't know either. 

[Jed_]

I don't know either. 

It’s OK, dumb blondes don’t need to figure those things out.  And don’t worry about craving a cock once in a while either, that’s common to dumb blondes too.

[ChirpingGirl]

CJ's  the dumbest blonde ever.

Primary doctor went ballistic when she finally read my last blood work.  I'd seen it a week earlier, and KNEW she was gonna have kittens over the cholesterol levels.  She did. 

You guys get your energy from sugars, or starches that quickly convert to sugars.  That's fine.  I'm on an utterly different high-fat, low-carb diet, and I run on fats instead.  Both work: both are converted to ATP (the chemical you use for 'energy').  One of the side effects of my diet is elevated cholesterol and elevated BUN.  Not a problem, as my diet is also anti-inflammatory and high in anti-oxidants.  Cholesterol doesn't cause atherosclerosis, inflammation and oxidation do.  Plaque is the body's response to inflammation or oxidants; it can't tell that you're not in distress, so it deposits cholesterol inside the veins Just In Case.

I just had a VERY high resolution scan of the heart weeks ago, arteries thereof, and the carotids.  Zero plaque, even with total cholesterol of 284 and LDL of 215.  I'm proof that cholesterol doesn't cause plaque.  I tweaking my diet a little to reduce those numbers, but I'm not overly concerned about them.

I burn Protein.  I have to be on a high protein diet, or I get light headded, but a beef stick usually does the ticket.  I can't do legume (Including Soy) protien either, or I vomit acid, then get dry heaves until my ribs cramp.  It would be nice if i could just carry most of the Protein bars on the market, but Soy is cheap.  Arguably the cheapest protein.

I have no idea what my Cholesterol is like, from years of illegal status.  (Couldn't even Vote.)  The first question I get is "Do you have insurance?"  I can't even get diagnosed, much less routine checkups, or blood work.

Wifeys daughter expressed her anger with me that I'm not joining the tribe leaving tomorrow for my grandparents for 2 weeks. She said she'd rather stay home with me.

Her mommy told her this morning no. "CJ needs a break from all of us and to spend time with our new family member". 

I wuv wifeys daughter as if she were mine. I did help raise her after all.

Watcher passes out numbered tickets to all the men and women who don't want to see ChirpingGirl go two weeks without sex.  Wow, look at that. I got number 1.


There are quite a few here who are NOT invited. 

More numbers for me then.....

[ChirpingGirl]

My ego is getting even bigger.

Slept 10 hours with no alcohol or sleeping pills.  Just feel really rested.  My older ADHD child is on vacation with grandparents, so I don’t have my typical feeling of dread.  May explain the sleep.  I’m very relaxed.

[Katiebee]

Had a talk with a special person yesterday. Made me feel better. She is late to the party. Better late than never.

We are hosting an Eastern European orphan this summer.  The hosting company wants photos of every room in the house.  WTF.  So I have been staging all day, one room at a time.  “Move all that shit to this side of the room.”  Surprised how nice everything looks without assorted magazines, charging equipment, papers, and glasses on the tables.  Laundry baskets in the closets.  I even cleared and polished the dining room table that serves as my home office.  I should do this more often.  LOL.

When you send the photos, careful which ones you send.  I’ve heard rumors about what might be in your phone.   

[ChirpingGirl]

I have pictures of cupcake frosting all over my 7's mouth in my phone. But those only go to grandma. 

That's the worst you'll find on mine. I swear. 

[ChirpingGirl]

The tribe is all gone, traveling off to spend two weeks with my grandparents. They're gonna have a great time getting out of the city and out into the middle of nowhere. 

Just me and a 5 year old girl. Even the sevens cat got to go. The dog too.

It's so... quiet. But we're gonna have a great time together. My little brother and his mom are coming to dinner. My neighbor and "our" daughter are coming too. So it won't be quiet for long. Gonna grill on the backyard patio and let the kids play in the pool.

But I already miss all of them. 

[_priapism]

Quiet day here too.  My primary source of problems/anxiety/conflict is visiting his grandparents for a week.   Temperatures already in the 100°’s, so just sweet ice tea and lazing on the sofa.  Plan to slow cook a pork pozole verde.

[ChirpingGirl]

I haven't had a bedtime so easy since my daughter was a baby. 

Having only one kid to put to bed was so weird. Now my house is so quiet it's eerie. I swear I can hear things that aren't there. I don't like it. I don't like it at all. Maybe I'll get her up and let her sleep in my bed tonight. I honestly don't know if I can sleep alone.

I honestly don't know if I can sleep alone. 

Hmmm, I think I may be able to solve your problem...

I can think of something more wily (Wile E) than that.
