First off, holy crap, is this Vancouver?
You can’t tell in this picture but it is snowing like a mad bastard out there. It’s like Halifax! How the heck am I going to get groceries today? The Sprite Car is not snow worthy and I am not capable of much in the way of carrying and lifting on my own – I am crazy weak. Please do not laugh when I tell you I have to take breaks from typing because my finger muscles are too tired to do long stretches. Walking around the kitchen to do a load of dishes utterly did me in last night. Turns out five days with virtually no food is… weakening.
So yes, woman cannot subsist on antibiotics alone. Though, it does seem something of a shame to restart the appetite train when I’m skinnyfying so successfully!
Anyway, I may have to conscript Husband to help me shop today. He has been my chief assistant on Gatorade runs (note: I actually prefer Powerade, which tastes less sugary but has more calories, a major plus when you’re on a liquid diet) and today may have the distinct honour of dragging our little rolling cart back and forth to Safeway for provisions. Through the snow. Because the Sprite Car cannot handle this weather.
He’s still sleeping right now… don’t ruin the surprise, okay?
