Since I'm stuck at work for another half-hour....

[slipjig3]

• I tried an experiment recently to cut out sugar for the duration of my work day, since I was hitting a two-cocoas-and-a-fistful-of-cookies habit, not counting random donut drop-ins. I did great, eschewing the cocoa and the cookies and even the coworker's chocolate collection, then looked down at an office fun fair to discover that I'd downed 3/4 of a bag of cotton candy without questioning it. Well, dammit. I paid for it with a twitchy evening and lingering self-loathing. Back to the drawing board.


• I really need to stop volunteering for stuff. My boss just handed me a new revision on the document I gave serious thought to applying a blowtorch to the last time it was assigned to me. I am currently in the habit of drawing skulls and crossbones on Post-It Notes, and this is one of the reasons why.

Matter of fact, it has eaten the time I'd set aside to post a full bulleted list of things, so I'm walking away after a whole two items, both of which I'm trying to forget. Going home to drown my sorrows in chicken nachos and lounging about in my skivvies. Excelsior!

...either I'm not helping or I'm really helping.

Hi.

I've started baking with erythritol, a non-nutritive sugar alcohol with a low glycemic index--seems to take a lot of the edge off...

String Cheese.

No, I'm not kidding. When I have a sugar craving and eat string cheese, the craving is curbed. I guess any kind of cheese would probably suffice, but the string cheese comes in those little portable snack sizes.
