I want real food. I want salad with ranch dressing. fj seems to think I should be eating protein, but I'm not having any protein-like cravings. Nope. Salad. I want salad with ranch dressing.

Considering we're still having trouble with noodles, I think we may wait a few more days before salad comes anywhere near us. Applesauce will have to suffice for now.

But I'm hungry. Really. Sometimes. And sucking down applejuice.

Admittedly, I'm sort of bored with some of the limited food choices I've got. Potatoes. Noodles. Macaroni and cheese. Soup. Applesauce. Jello. Chocolate Mousse. Ice pops. And of course, slurpees. (I could use another.)

My throat is still irritated, but half the time, it's the stabbing pain in my ears. Mom suggested I might be getting a cold, and she might be right; I can't tell.

The worst feeling is when I wake up. I'm dry and hurting.

I have in fact taken significantly less percocet today than before.

Back to work on Monday. Let's all hope that I feel 100% by then.

Re: From a friend who had to do liquid diet

[geminigirl]

Cool! Thanks.

I'm not on total liquids...I've got potatoes and noodles. I'm also limited on dairy and spicy or acidic foods. I'm thinking tomorrow may include an attempt at tomato soup.

I'm sure I can find some stuff.

Way ahead of ya, hon!

[geminigirl]

Awwwww.

You're being sweet again.


Awwwww.

[sivart.livejournal.com]

I'm not always sweet?! :)

[geminigirl]

You've always been nice to me.

You have the most huggable icons. You make me wanna cuddle.

[sivart.livejournal.com]

And you too me!

Cuddle, huh? Spencer is too spastic to cuddle with at the moment :)

[geminigirl]

Oblivion is sprawled out on the floor behind me, asleep. She took a nap on top of me while I took a percocet induced nap earlier. Beta is somewhere, being quiet. He's not on the world's ugliest arm chair, or in front of the craft supplies, so he's probably sleeping under the futon.

And yes, cuddle.

[sivart.livejournal.com]

I need cats!

Cuddling's good :D

[geminigirl]

You can visit with mine. You might even get the Oblivion seal of approval.

[sivart.livejournal.com]

He actually makes seals?! Impressive :)

[geminigirl]

Oblivion is a girl. :)

She's an all white, deaf cat. I call her the deaf lesbian cat cause she's very squeamish about men. She hated my ex. She likes some men, but not all...I figure, men in my life who she likes get the seal of approval and are ones to keep around.

Sorta like my Mom...she didn't care for my last boyfriend either.

[sivart.livejournal.com]

I knew that :) I remember the story, but the night is getting late :D

My mom will never care for any of the girls I date, unless they are right wing conservative types. I think that's probably *not* gonna happen.

Oh well.

[geminigirl]

My Mom probably will like some guys that I date...if I bring nice guys who are respectful and stuff home. She thought the last one was a loser.

[sivart.livejournal.com]

I don't think I've ever been thought of as a loser... at least I don't think so!

[geminigirl]

Well, if you meet my Mom, you can ask her if she thinks you're a loser or not, if you want. :)

[sivart.livejournal.com]

Yeah, that's be good :)

[geminigirl]

Okay. So you meet my Mom, and she'll tell you if she thinks you're a loser or not. And I can show you around, to the place where the Revolutionary War battle was, and stuff.

[sivart.livejournal.com]

I need more vacation!

[geminigirl]

I don't drive up there in the summertime anyway. I don't want to deal with the beach traffic, which is endemic from here to there...

[sivart.livejournal.com]

It's been a while since I've been to NYC... well, since I was with the ex. Wow, that was quite a funky trip!

[geminigirl]

My parents are about 60 miles from NYC. 1.5-2 hours depending on traffic. Near the water, and the beach and stuff.

[sivart.livejournal.com]

My ex's parents lived right near Coney Island, in a small, 2 room apartment in an old, run-down house with a roof that leaked onto the bed. That was not my idea of a good time.

[geminigirl]

Um, ick.

My parents live in a house out on Long Island, with lots of trees around, and many cats.

They still live in the house I grew up in. :)

[sivart.livejournal.com]

I miss the house I grew up in... though come to think of it, it wasn't all that great. Nevermind, I don't miss it!

[geminigirl]

Sometimes I miss my hometown. Sometimes I miss things about it...good pizza, bagels, italian ices. I miss the small-town-ness of it...

Sometimes I don't.

[sivart.livejournal.com]

I only miss the cheese steaks. I can't find a good cheesesteak up here :(

[geminigirl]

Pat's or Gino's? (Assuming you get them in Philly proper.)

Believe it or not, there's a place that makes a decent cheesesteak around the corner from my house. Not perfect, but decent. And they make incredible onion rings.

[sivart.livejournal.com]

I don't remember.... Jim's, maybe. I've gotten an authenticate Philly cheese steak from Philly twice in my life!

[geminigirl]

Hee!

Not like I'm not already craving real food. :)

Oh well. I got noodles back after about five days-it could be worse, there were people who said ten.

[sivart.livejournal.com]

Cheese steaks are pretty benign. I think you could probably muster it :)

[geminigirl]

I could have the middle maybe, but not the bread yet. Too crumbly.

[sivart.livejournal.com]

But the middle is the best part!

[geminigirl]

Yeah, but it's just not the same.

And I suspect, if I went for the middle right now, I might regret it for a while after. Maybe next weekend.

[mr-feathers.livejournal.com]

aww hang in there!

[danger-chick.livejournal.com]

always suggests more protein.

[geminigirl]

Yeah, no matter what I do, he seems to think more protein.

But I tend to want salad when I get home from the gym, when I should be eating protein. He's right.

This time, he's right too; the near complete lack of protein I had for about a week couldn't be really good. But there was no way I could have handled a protein shake...I could barely get juice or applesauce down for a couple of days.
