oh that's much better...

for those keeping score, i'd have to rate today a solid 7 in comparison to yesterday's dismal 2 or 3. my evening choice of beverage last night was, as stated, gin and tonic, and i wonder how much that has to do with it? i know for certain that my body's response to alcohol has changed in some disturbing ways in the last couple of years; i also know for certain that beer makes me feel terrible the next day in ways that other spirits do not. now i am highly suspicious of wine, which is what i was drinking sunday night. (and for the record-- we're talking about small amounts here. 2 glasses of wine with dinner, or two beers...)

at any rate, for whatever reason, i am in a much better mood today and very pleased to report that the scale showed a loss this morning... i'm now below a plateau that i'd been hovering at for... like almost a year or something.

i went to the dentist today, which while not enjoyable, is relatively painless and totally worth it. once again i contemplated getting braces. i went through a lot of orthodontics when i was younger, including having my upper palate split (didn't hurt, just felt weird) and having jaw surgery after which my mouth was wired shut for six weeks and i was unable to talk at all. my wisdom teeth came in while i was in college and pushed everything back out of alignment before i could make it to my dentist. so for a few years i had that beautiful smile that you see me flashing in my senior prom picture, then went back to having buck teeth again. if only because my mom and i went through so much, i'd like my teeth to be straight again. my dentist also says it makes a huge difference as you get older in how well your teeth survive.

i'm off to the apple store after work, yet again... hopefully i'll be wresting a working powerbook out of their sweaty little genius palms without too much of a wait, then off home to feed cats, self, and prepare for radio show.

Hooray for better day!

(Though sad to hear about beer and wine...)

i think other people are more upset about the idea of me not drinking, or of me not drinking certain things, than i am.

although i have been a happy participant in many a drunken episode, i think i've always had more of a take-it-or-leave-it attitude toward alcohol than most people i know.

i am sure i will still have beer and wine every once in a while, just like i stil have sugar every once in a while. i guess i'm not really much of an "all or nothing" sort of person.

oh, and btw, i'm posting this from my powerbook which appears to be once again kicking asses and taking names!

the airport connection is a hell of a lot better than it was before all of this... so i think it had been going bad for some time. it had become virtually unusable toward the end there.

yay for the powerbook! was it definitely the logic board? They had to replace mine too when I had that display problem.
