Tom (that miracle-worker) fixed the computer. He didn't have to be in to work until 12 today and he sacrificed his precious free-time so that I could get back to my internet addiction! It was surprising how well I got on without a computer, actually. But no sooner had I returned than I came across another adorable little blog to peruse for days and weeks to come.
I realize I should give myself a break on reading blogs - the blogs of strangers that is. It can feel like a waste of time to me - a little silly - but reading is good! And I don't usually have the patience to sit down with a book. Though, at the moment I am reading (in addition to school books which I've finally begun) That Hideous Strength which is pretty hard to put down despite it being my second time through.
Another thing I can't seem to put down: Nutella. I had my first taste in years recently and unfortunately/fortunately when Tom went to pick it up there was a 2 for... something sale.
As I described to Lane: when I began eating it (for it's something I began and then did consistently after) I would cough sometimes like I was swigging alcohol; the sugar burned my throat.
But before I was done with jar one I was downing it like a pro and I was hooked on sugar! I've been drinking soda (A Shirley Temple for heavens sake! Though, I couldn't finish it... I'm so old.) since and one day, when I didn't happen to have any sugar, I got a headache! I drank coffee, I drank water: still had a headache. Ate a piece of toast (or two) with Nutella: headache gone.
Moral of this story? Sugar is creepy stuff. Approach with caution.
Now aren't you glad this post at least had a moral?
Really I just wanted to let you know: I'm back!
