Today I had another one of those godawful flu-like mornings, where I only drank lime and seltzer and lay curled up on the couch, body weak and eyes fixated on John & Kate Plus 8 (yeah, it’s weird. But for some bizarre reason, this is one of the three shows I can physically and mentally tolerate on TV. It’s strangely riveting…but more on that later) Eventually I felt well enough to crawl into the kitchen and make myself some a 2-egg omelett with zucchini soup & cultured vegetables. After resting for another hour, I felt good enough to get dressed and move on with my day. Today was my mom’s 50th birthday, so I made her a chocolate cake with coffee-buttercream frosting, all from scratch. It smelled and looked heavenly. I was able to resist taking even the tiniest lick of the frosting, even though I would have loved to, because I knew that things would only get worse if I gave into temptation. Willpower… yeah!!!! Then we went to birthday dinner at my mom’s favorite restaurant, Hamersley’s Bistro. Surprisingly, I was able to find something BED-friendly; I had swordfish with fennel, roasted red pepper, roasted garlic, summer squash (all veggies culled from other people’s plates, except the fennel), and a minuscule red potato, which, shouldn’t have gone with that meal, but whatever, it was tiny. It was a good day all in all; I think my mom had an excellent 50th birthday and it was nice to spend the day sitting in the sun on the back porch with her.

Anyways, tomorrow I have a stupid dentist app at 8. Then an interview at Bed, Bath & Beyond at 2. I’m sick of wasting gas and T passes–will someone HIRE ME ALREADY??? Damn. What does it take to get a job in this town?? Too bad money doesn’t just rain from the sky like hail, or appear under my pillow when I’ve done a good deed. Then I could just spend the summer doing fun things with Marie, like going to the DeCordova and the Arboretum. Isn’t that what the summer is for anyways???

I’m not sure that avocado half I ate in my salad earlier did me any good. I thought I could eat them in stage one, but maybe not? I feel…blocked. Not in the poop arena, but more like the lower stomach area. Don’t you hate when you want to eat but you feel shitty? It sucks. I wanted to eat my delicious seared salmon dinner, but opted for some peppermint tea, kefir and sprouted sunflower seeds instead. Mabybe tomorrow.

In other news, check out this sweet birthday card I made for my mom’s 50th birthday tomorrow

I wanted to keep going with the lines, but I got bored
