Hah! Not really. This nasty humongous blotch is a result of scraping--an ancient Chinese tradition that helps draw out toxins and knots in one's neck. And yes it hurt like a tack to the toe, but isn't it pretty? You think if I cover my neck in toothpaste it will go away? No Mom, it's really not a hickey. It's called scraping by.
The Margarita Craving
Honestly, I don't drink very much since I hit 42, I mean 43, I mean 42. But boy has this week been tough. I want a margarita, a martini, a deep glass of red, anything. And Fridays, Fridays were meant for drinking.
If I wasn't really spending my Fridays falling off barstools then why when a rule is imposed with a big fat NO then I want more than anything to fall off a barstool after a few shots of tequila? Why is my immediate response to a stress-packed day of wrong turns, wrong tapes, parking tickets and a near-miss accident make me want to make everyone feel my pain with a loud "GDMF!" (you figure it out) and a few margaritas with chips and guacamole?
WHY? Why does my stress and anxiety demand sugar, alcohol, caffeine and swearing? Why do you, my dear stress, demand such attention? My why is turning into a whine.
I need to sleep on that one.
Until then, this is dinner.
A F*^%! $300 Fine
By the way. I owe about $300 to the Curse for a Cause fund. I didn't have to tell you and I didn't have to fess up, but I yelled that word so loudly today that people's heads turned (twice!). I decided I had to buck up the cash.

That rash looks painful -- I feel for you! And I love that you're doing this -- I could do OK giving up alcohol, and caffeine would be sorta hard, but SUGAR, wow, I don't think I would last as long as you have. I support you!! I've heard that our bodies let go of sugar cravings in 2-3 weeks, so I hope you're almost there. I hope you have some sort of revelation to share with all of us at the end of this. You're amazing, keep it up. :-)
