Aftermath
Well, I ran out of fruits by about 4 pm yesterday and was very very hungry. Maybe because I was eating whatever I want for most part these few months, the hunger was specially sharp. So I had a couple of sandwiches at the cafeteria - fortunately no cheese but white bread. Anyway then I left work early to take care of the phone problems. I now again have my same old number which is good because too many people have it. It is almost impossible to let everyone know a new number.
That done, I did some grocery shopping. I bought a small jar of yeast extract for the first time. No clue at all about how to use it. Will check that out later. I also bought a smallish jar of mayo and some chips. Stupid store - they didn’t have salsa! So back home after answering my mom’ numerous hopeful questions and doubts about how cell phones and SIM cards work, I could go to bed with my Dick Francis novel and the chips. I had chips, then some boiled vegetable and beans, then chips again, one piece of sweet, some curry. A full fledged binge. Finished reading and eating by 1 am. Feeling much better today. Don’t know how long that will last.
I do need to get back on track pronto. But I am tired. I need a little break from holding up and controlling. Not for long, I promise myself. I find myself thinking about something else and suddenly realize I don’t have that phone any more. I didn’t know I had loved it this much.
Well, today is a new day. I bought a mug from the cafe downstairs. It’s tall but with a thinnish rim. Just as I like. I am drinking green tea from it now. Life’s small pleasures. Though I did visualize the mug breaking at least thrice on my way up. I have lots of work and reasonably healthy lunch plus fruits with me to eat. I am planning to have a good productive day.
R is getting married today.

Sorry I missed your last few posts, Ini. It wasn’t intentional. I’ve had a nasty cold/flu thing and am operating on about half my cylinders. SO sorry about the break in & loss of your phone! Rotten luck! Glad you could hold onto your old number, though. That should help some. R is getting married TODAY? See? I KNEW he was twisted and unnatural. Who gets married on a Thursday? The boy is SUCH a loser! Honestly! Even gets married on the wrong day! Pffft! I betcha he’s wearing a t-shirt with a bow tie, too. SOME people are just irredeemable, and that’s all there is to it. I predict that ten years from today, you will be perched on the terrace of your 50-room “summer cottage” overlooking the Agean, enjoying a good book and a massage from your personal masseuse with your international businessman-husband stretched out on a lounge chair beside you making fabulous business deals over the phone and tickling your toes with a peacock feather. R, of course, will hear of your good fortune and spend the rest of his days wishing for what he once might have had. The end.
Hugs,
Z

I am so happy you like Dick Francis!!! Enjoy your new mug. I agree with Ella on R; awful people like him just don’t have successful lives.

Of course you are binging today. R is getting married. You said it all in that one sentence. I would have eaten everything and anything and not been as careful as you have been. Hugs to you! He doesn’t deserve you and never wiill.
