DMV took hours and now tomorrow I have to do the homestead. I have a headache. I also have no food! Yesterday, I popped in at the Asian Market to get enough food for the day. Today, I went to Gooding's to get food for tonight. What I need to do is make out a list and go do groceries for real instead of this day-by-day thing.

It's annoying, inefficient and expensive!

Poor Paul is dead tired. Poor me is too. Big fat blaaaah.

I wish I could buy a freezer and stick it in the garage. Would that not be cool? To be able to freeze more food ahead?!

HealthyPlace is kinda sorta open. Still in progress. I got a letter today from the InnerWorkout people and I am not really sure what they are asking me. Contribute writing? I don't know.

I find it all strange, my mind is pudding today.

I got home from gym at 9 PM and then we ate the leftover empanada filling in tacos with lettuce and onions and peppers. Slap dash eating.

Paul is not eating enough, and he is getting more drained by the minute. I need to start making him eat breakfast or make his lunch. I am worried!

Why can't he just eat? He's intelligent, he realizes he needs more fuel but he won't take a break and sit down and EAT IT. Feel like smacking him. He says he doesn't like breakfast because it makes him nauseated. He doesn't like to take his lunch to the office because he hates to be carrying things. If I give him lunch money (doesn't that sound so junior high?) he won't eat lunch out, he just goes out for drives during his lunch break to hang out at Mars or the bookstores or something. He drinks soda all day long and if there is any office food, he will eat that crap -- cookies, donuts, candy. Then he comes home dead tired from work and not eating anything significant all damn day, and crashes. Then I wake him up and MAKE him eat dinner and take his multivitamin. He likes to eat nuts, chips, popcorn and snack-y type foods because he can eat them out of a bag absent-mindedly while doing something else. This is not good food, if that is all he eats, IF he remembers to eat it.

ARGH!

What atrocious eating habits! What am I supposed to do?! I can't MAKE him do anything but eat dinner. His food choices outside of that one meal I make are up to him. Now I have to contrive something so he eats a little more. Greet him at the door when he walks in with a snack? I don't know. I am low on ideas.

What's the matter with husbands? Is this another man thing? Sometimes I wonder why I didn't just hook up with some cute chickie and save myself the grief. Then I could have worn her clothes.

I gave myself another hot foot on the treadmill -- these sneakers need to be retired. They simply are not cool to exercise in anymore.

Pooky, pooky day.
