Garlic and RAM... Mmm... tasty...
I had an excellent dinner tonight, but I probably used too much garlic. Well, there’s rarely too much garlic, but the chicken would have been fine with a bit less. Anyway, despite the fact that it was really good, and the leftovers will be yummy, I GUARANTEE that when my mother arrives tomorrow and comes into the apartment, the first thing out of her mouth will be “Oooooh, garlic!” in that tone, the one that she insists isn’t critical but really, it is. Then she’ll tell me I smell like garlic. Great. Looking SO forward to it!
Anyway.
I had another early morning today. That was weird, and it sucked. I was up at 6 with a headache, and then I couldn’t get back to sleep. So I got up and ate breakfast. Burned the first bagel half. Then I decided to take my morning walk in the park. Now, I usually walk in the park first thing, before I’ve eaten anything. Today, I walked after eating my half a bagel with hummus and my cottage cheese and my coffee, plus a glass of water. The first two laps were fine; it was a beautiful morning, sunny and warm, and the park smelled like freshly-cut grass and honeysuckle. Then, during the third lap, I started feeling weird. Odd. A little out of breath. I didn’t know what was happening, but I knew I had to get inside immediately. Once I did, I went straight for some frozen peaches. I ate them with a little ice cream. My hands were shaking horribly the whole time, and I was sweating. A blood sugar crisis, probably. I will never walk after coffee AGAIN.
So, that was freaky. But I’m OK. I had a nice day despite the weird start. And I got more RAM! I ordered more RAM for my laptop, and it arrived today. booger was going to help me install it, but everyone in chat kept telling me how easy it was, so I decided to do it myself. Not, of course, before they freaked me out about touching metal things to de-charge myself. But I did it, so I have 128 more mb of RAM. And I installed it alllllll by myself! Woo hoo!!!!!!
*ahem*
So, the life of leisure is OK. Now all I need is some sleep.
