I’m planning an emotional cleanse starting Tuesday morning. Practice the piano, listen to the Sant Andreu Jazz Band, read, soak in the tub, no internet, no social networking, no TV. I will catch up with the news on Wednesday.

I love eating my feelings. They are delicious and taste like tacos and chocolate. 

If celebrating landslide victory, eating all the mother fucking ice cream, mother fuckers!

Safe travels!! I’m jealous of the weather you’re moving to.

This is the first presidential election since the Gipper won that I won’t be watching. Turning off the internet/tv/radio/phone. I have some books, and am going to order all the foods and eat and read until I fall asleep, or at least until the afternoon if I don’t sleep.

I hate it. But I have literally been eating my emotions. I am never like this. Ever. All I want to do is bake and roast comfort foods.

I’m assembling a pile of favorite movies to watch in the hopes that I don’t obssesively watch news all day, and getting plenty of exercise. Their will also be either prayer and fasting OR stress eating and cursing. The jury is still out on that.

I’m just staring and giggling at this picture of Darwin in his Halloweenie costume.

I think its been a couple weeks since I posted here so I don’t think I ever showed you my apple pie. I went apple picking at the end of September and hadn’t used them so I made pie and then the rest became applesauce.

anxiety and/or perimenopausal mood stuff.

I did that last election and haven't recovered from the trauma.

Thank you! I have that one covered! ;)

The long dormant raver in me wants to say drug cocktail, but the reality is I’ll probably ignore the news, binge watch something stupid, and go to bed early. The last election was a 3 day anxiety attack. 

Also I turned 39 this week, which has basically escaped my notice.  I celebrated with too much delivery Chinese food. 

The last 2 weeks have been totally fucking nuts. 2 weekends ago, Mr Tonight ended up in the hospital for emergency surgery. He was there for 6 days. Almost died a 2nd time b/c turns out he is allergic to a medication they gave him. He came home last Saturday, with a few prescriptions. One of which was for oxy for the…

Cherry- walnut no knead loaf. In a few days I’m going to try some salami, mozzerella. sun dried tomato rolls.

First week in the new house done. I am finally almost done painting, although the bathrooms will have to wait. I had to partition it all out and make a schedule just to get it done before my stuff comes out of storage on Monday. Just one coat left on the kitchen/dining room and the colors look really excellent. I…

Nothing. I was in the shower one day and realized it was gone, like dead as a doornail gone. I enjoy sex now, but I don’t think to initiate it like I used to.

Question for any menopausal or post-menopausal woman.

Good things have happened this week. I went to a virtual Halloween wedding(Hooray for love!), I finally made a good yeasted loaf of bread(Thanks, Paul Hollywood!), and I decided to start taking something for my depression(Here we go again, wheee).
