I am so happy to report that Caroline is much, much better. Ultimately, I think old school Benadryl helped her more than anything. I don’t know if it’s because of the antihistamine properties or the fact that it knocked her stone cold out, but I’ll take it. She took a turn for the better just in time because she was beginning to enjoy her ill health a little too much as evidenced by the multiple forts she asked me to build while she laid on the couch and watched movies.
So it’s back to school for her and back to whatever it is I normally do around here for me. Which means I have a big day ahead of me because we’re out of paper towels and a little low on milk. I also have tentative plans to go to Michael’s to pick out a frame for my new map of Texas and perhaps Nordstrom to check out their selection of rainboots because I’m having a dreadful time deciding on the color I want by just looking online and I’ve decided I don’t care that the weathermen are saying we’re in the midst of a drought.
In other equally unexciting news, I’ve been inspired to add Jenny From the Block to my Couch to 5K playlist because I am genuinely enjoying her on American Idol and I’m not fooled by the rocks that she’s got. Now I just need to make myself get out and, you know, run.
Other than that, I’m processing the realization that I may not have been eating meat all those years I enjoyed crispy beef tacos from Taco Bell. I knew the hot sauce could take the tarnish off a penny courtesy of serious boredom in college, but it never occurred to me that I wasn’t eating real meat. All I know is it’s the best water, isolated oat product, wheat oats, soy lecithin, maltodextrin, anti-dusting agent, autolyzed yeast extract, modified corn starch with sodium phosphate I’ve ever tasted.
And so that’s what’s going on here. How about you? Feel free to share with the group. Or with me. Whatever.
