junk food and christmas cheer!
| <<-- : 12.19.02 : -->> |
11:03 a.m.so yesterday i test drived my new eating habits. i decided that i was no longer going to consume sugary fattening foods anymore. i did quite well in avoiding soda and candy. i'm really trying hard to start eating right again. i'm going to completely cut myself off from red meats and pork. i was being really bad with pork lately. but it's really hard to avoid poultry and seafood in my house. so yesterday i didn't have any junk food or soda. i was very proud of myself. but the lack of sugar was totally effecting my mood. i just didn't want to do any work and i was extremely tired. i even went to bed at eight o clock last night.
so what do i find on my desk this morning? a very large hershey's bar wrapped in paper that says, "merry christmas." and later in the morning i get a nestle's crunch medalion thing, and two candy canes. oh joy! so i haven't decided what i want to do about that. i think i'm going to decide that it's okay if i eat those, just in moderation. but i'm no longer going to purchase any more candy for myself. i really need to slow down with the junk food. it was getting bad, i was letting my depression decide on what to eat. and comfort food can get way out of hand. it no longer becomes comfort, but a necessity to get through the day.
but, the sweetest lady here at work just gave me a pound cake of some sort for christmas. i thought that was so cool of her. it's even still warm from the bakery! she is the nicest person i've met here and i think it's so cool that she took the time to get everyone something like this. everyone's been giving cards and candy out like it's a chore. they seem like it's some duty to the office to do something like that for christmas, i wonder if they really enjoy it. just like asha says in her entry, i've only got three out of the eight (i only got eight, she got nine) cards that have my name on them. i can see how impersonal it can be and it can be very sweet that they thought to do something like that. but at the same time, i can imagine how this one person would just go through about forty cards just signing her name and dotting her "i" with a heart. it's like, "merry christmas, here's my autograph cuz i know how you so much wanted it! hee hee!"
so yeah, asha pointed out quite rightly yesterday that if you're going to be impersonal about christmas giving, you might as well give us something we can use. cards are nice and thoughtful, and i have all eight of mine taped up above my desk, but it doesn't seem very christmas-y when someone parades around the office dropping them off at each desk like they're some mail-carrier person delivering mail like it's a job they don't like. hmm. running sentences. they're fun.
oh yeah, i added a guestmap yesterday! sign it! they're fun also!
! <-- i just thought i needed to put another exclamtion point for no real reason.
