GUMMY AND GRAINY

I will get to the gummy grainy thing in a minute.  I finally got a fair amount done.  The tree is up, sort of.  It keeps tipping backwards but its so little it doesn't really matter.  We just push it back up straight.  We put a humungous amount of coloured lights all over it.  Its one very pimped up little tree!  Tomorrow I am going to finish it and I shall take a pic and post it here.

I got the laundry almost completed.  I hate doing laundry.  I mean I REALLY hate.  That is one chore I put off and put off until  I have nothing left to wear.  You know when you don't get to go shopping for groceries or you are out of money or you are going away so you are trying to get rid of food?  You end up eating all that crap thats been in the cupboard forever.  Suddenly rice cracker encrusted sardines sprinkled with deep fried onions shows up on your plate for dinner.

  Well, its the same with clothes.  Being a lady of a certain size (read: fat broad) I have a lot of 'fails' in my closet.  And when I am beginning to trot them out, seeing again how hideous they are, I know its time to go down those stairs and gitter done.  And today I finally did!  Back to smoothing, smallerizing black tomorrow!

I also made a proper dinner.  Well, part of it was.  Steak, onions and mushrooms, broccoli and cauliflower in cheese and the best part of all…tater tots.  And that brings me to the grainy and gummy.

I did some research.  There was a rumour about for years that every seven years your body takes a change and your likes and dislikes change right along with it.  And I am in the seventh year…change time.  Believing that to be a myth I researched it.  And really its just about an aging process.  As you get older more and more of your taste buds die and your sense of taste changes.

I do believe that has or is happening to me right now.  Over the last few months food has started to taste awful.  And I have never ever been adverse to textures of any sort but now?  I can't believe how much food mushes and turns grainy and that just turns my stomach.  Bread, the tater tots, meat, cottage cheese, baloney (shovel list), cheese, etc…I am so sad about this.  I mean its good for losing weight and all but I spend a lot of time feeling pukey (big time shovel list).  About the only thing I can predictably eat with no problem is what I have every morning for breakfast.  I eat a bowl of three tomatoes cut up small, a load of sweet onion shredded, feta cheese (but only the crumbled kind you get at Costco…none of the others) and olive oil.  Thats it.  I always can eat that and not get sick after.  Its so good and I don't get tired of it.  Oh, I eat other stuff, I just don't enjoy it, quit half way through and then feel pukey.  So annoying.

The only reason I mention this is if anyone out there has heard of this please feel free to educate me!  Thanks.  Pics tomorrow!  TTYL
