I was surprised when I woke up this morning and felt OK. I had, somewhere in the back of my mind, the thought that I would not escape whatever it was that Karen had Monday and Tuesday. Even now, I do not want to celebrate my wellness too loudly, for jinxes have nothing to do with imaginary gods, or even real ones, if there were any, and I do have a tendency to jinx myself and people that associate with me. So I went to work, and it was OK. Busy all day long, but I was able to get outta there on time. During the day, a nurse came around selling burritos that would be delivered at some future date, and I bought six... and started thinking about mexican food. When I got home, I immediately talked Karen into going to Casa, a mexican place, to eat. We did and had a really nice meal, and neither of us overate, even though it was a buffet. I had three tacos and Karen had two, and I had two helpings of the taco salad and she had one... in other words, I ate about half of what I would have a coupla weeks ago. I've been doing pretty good at work, too... I just get one entree instead of two, like I would do about half of the time before. And Karen has vowed to quit bringing home sweets... she knows that I love 'em, and that I have very little willpower and that I'll eat them up if they're in the house. I hardly ever buy them myself, though. Before I quit smoking, I would buy a three-pound bag of peanut m&m's and eat them in a coupla days... I know better than to do that now. Although just thinking about it makes my mouth water... And Karen and I got something accomplished tonight... we took down the xmas tree! Yep, and got most of the stuff put away, too. Not quite everything, but a pretty good effort, we'll finish up tomorrow. I have a coupla other projects to get done tomorrow and Sunday, too... nothing really big, though. Not quite ready for that yet.
