It has come to my attention that I am a lousy vegan. Like everything else I'm suddenly attracted to, I binged on so much veggies and soy that I broke out in hives. I went to the doctor for my physical and although I managed to drop my cholesterol from 210 to 188, I also managed to drop my protein to a dangerous level. I thought I had been getting enough from nuts and beans but I wasn't. I started eating lots of fish again and even eggs. My meat and potatoes husband has been living off of frozen California pizzas and cereal. I just hope my next entry doesn't mention scurvy.
I'd like to kick a shout out to my sister-in-law Carla who recently cleaned out her closet and gave me a brand new wardrobe! People at work have been asking me if I won the lottery and bought new clothes. Of course I told them yes, but that I was keeping my job to stay grounded... I just hope the mini-van doesn't break down and I have to ride my unicycle to work. Then my house of lies will come crashing down upon me!!
