Drinks

Sorry that I just want to ramble on today. I'm feeling seriously rebellious. I think I want to completely overhaul my lifestyle. Mostly my diet.

Okay, so I've got: a wheat allergy, chronic fatigue syndrome and mitral valve prolapse (although the echo was negative). The last thing I want is pity - I don't need it. I got through a graduate biology program. But I'm annoyed at our society for its silliness with edibles.

Should I stop drinking? It's so dumb how I google cider recipes and they all have booze in them. That alone makes me want to boycott the industry. I'm definetly cutting back on coffee because I'm having palpitations again when I have too many cups or alcohol.

I wonder if I should just go whole hog and live a crazy vegan lifestyle. I also google vegan recipes and they all have wheat. I can't eat those. Can you see why I want to start diet groups on Vox? People keep saying to me, "Oh, I don't know how you can stand to go without cake / coffee / booze / steak". Yeah, thanks for the words of wisdom.

On a happier note, we have heroes like Alton Brown to educate us on cooking techniques. And I still love Ace of Cakes, I bet they would make a cake just for me. My favorite episode was when they made a cake for the author of a kid's book called Ghost Girl, a child who was teased in school. Then she died and she learned what real friendship is.

Appropriate for my dilemma, I guess. Maybe I'll change my attitude along with what I consume.

So I've sent out my resume, I'm waiting patiently to hear back from potential employers. I can't wait for school to send my diploma so I can take that stupid word "Candidate" off my title for "Master's of Science".

My mom thinks I should apply for a college teaching job. You know, so I won't get eaten by some beast in the forest. I can't imagine anything I'd want to do less. I'm in biology so I won't have to work with humans, remember?

The one advantage to teaching is that I'd  teach those brainwashed students about evolution. In the vet tech program, our cell biology teacher was a devout Christian. A student asked about Intelligent Design, and she replied, "This is a science class, so we're not going to discuss religion". Score!

Although it may be brutally cold I'd rather be watching bobcats anyday than stuck in a monkey suit at a desk. Being an ecologist means I can dress casual and be a socially awkward geek if I like. Not that I can help it.

I'm at least tempted to volunteer for science groups that stand up for Evolution in schools. And a new arrival at my favorite bookstore showed Origin of the Species in illustration form. Yay!

A neighbor found a kitten in her woodpile, another neighbor thought it might be my cat and got me. Of course it was not mine, but I got to find out what one does here when one finds a cat. AND I got to meet a neighbor who is MY AGE! Nancy, who found the cat is awesome and 55. She and I hit it off. She like me finds animals and helps them to find new owners.

I took the cat to my sis's animal clinic and they checked it out, fed it, gave it shots and tests and have it under observation for the weekend. On monday I'll "drop in" and see if I want this new little girl cat or if I feel she should go to another family. (likely)

There, I snagged Beanie, Barb's dog for a playday with Nym. Beanie and Nym played ALL day and into the night.

My sis and Mark came to dinner and I finally got to cook for them. Mexican was the theme including intense margarita's. We all plan on going for a motorcycle ride tomorrow!

I found the "STATE" store and stocked up on liquor. :-)

It's all good. It really is.
