Chocolate Cake Is Great

Yesterday, I drove around for a while crying. Then I stopped by a grocery store and bought this delightful treat called a whoppie pie. It was chocolate cake with a creamy vanilla filling. Ten minutes after I ate it, I felt better. I'm not sure if it was the combination of sugar and chocolate, but it was wonderful. I also ate a pint of chocolate ice cream. Some people need a drink.

I have an appointment with my doctor today. I'm going to see about getting some of meds switched—like switching Lasix for Maxcide. And I'm getting an antidepressant.

I Need a Vacation

I made it through the week, but I am exhausted. I really need a break—not from exercise, but from from my job. It's really getting to me. I haven't taken any time off since Christmas. I feel like I'm going to collapse. But the weekend is here, finally.

I don't have a lot to say today. I wish I did.

Here's a question for you: When advertisers and manufacturers want us to think that whatever it is that their selling is really cool, why do they think that telling us it's European will make it more desirable?
