Stress eating is very common. How are you at crafts? like knitting, beading, etc. If your hands are busy, they can’t stuff food in your mouth.

Up, caffeinated, off to irk.

Turns out when I actually take my Vitamin D pills, I care about shit and have energy - who knew? (My doctor? Oh right. And me. But I’m stupid sometimes.)

**ems** , yesterday was a week since my spewing-from-both-ends adventure, and I realized I was finally eating normally without worrying about my guts rebelling. Hope you get there soon.

That’s a good idea. I do a lot of crafts.

I ended up not having to tour the north forty, so yay. However, I wish I had known this, i.e. gotten the phone call about cancelling, before I was over halfway there. I could have avoided bein’ out in the ick altogether that way. On the plus side I do get to count the mileage so I guess that’s sump’n.

Ok, gripe over. Back to irk.

Happy Thursday!

I’m done my early irk shift.  
It’s now up to 29 degrees. BRRRRRR!

Thinking about N.O.L. but don’t know yet. I’m not really hungry this am. I hate my last Godiva chocolate.

I love the number 13, I don’t know why people have an aversion to it. I also love black cats.

Anyway, nothing special happening today.  
Just more irk later today.

It’s **N.O.L.** time but I don’t know if I want to eat. Stoopid cold.

At last - a moment to breathe… We’re in full panic mode to get some drawings done, and near as I can tell, I’ve got 2 more to do tomorrow. But for now, I’ve done everything I had to do. I think it’s time to visit the vending machine for a chocolate fix…

Are you a farmer? Rancher? Jolly rancher?

> Okay MMP, I have a question for you: what can I do with a bagful of lipsticks? Afternoon Blonde at work has been helping me with my “let’s look like something” crusade and hooking me up with the makeups. Thing is, a lot of the lipsticks she gave me are “blonde person” lipsticks and I’m definitely an autumnal shade type of gal. We’re talking a bag of \*\*PINK \*\*lipstick. All of them have been tried on exactly once (usually followed by an “ew” face) and recapped. Is there somewhere I can donate these? They’re good lipsticks and it’s seems a shame to toss them if they haven’t really been used.

Look for a local theater group or zombie walk? I would also add gunsmiths school but usually I only go through one every three years that way.

Been watching “Patton” again? 😉  
And hugs and prayers your way as well.

Or is Jolly Rancher the favorite candy of Land Pirates everywhere? I ponder things like this all the time.
