flexagon | Much better, except for the starving part

What a day. After that last post I had the worst brush with hunger I've had in a while, all because I misjudged the time it would take me to work out, and whether I should bring food, and then I had to wait 45 minutes for the bus coming home (don't ask). Some people just feel kind of hungry when they feel hungry, but that's not me, especially if I'm hungry because I've been working out... no, I'm the one who gets shaky and sick and scared and cranky, and can feel the internal warfare start up as parts of my body start munching on other parts, and it's really incredibly Not Good. Luckily, HLM is very good about dealing with me in a starving state. If I come in and give him the tiniest half-hug and head for the Gatorade in the fridge stammering about getting too hungry, he just looks all concerned and digs out the leftover devilled eggs for me and rubs my neck. What a nice husband. Anyway, I ate the eggs and had some Gatorade and some sunflower seeds and a plate of chicken parmesan with whole wheat pasta before I was quite certain life would go on.

Lesson learned: go back to carrying emergency food, especially if lifting at unfamiliar times of day. :b

After that, we successfully bought a mattress. We did have time to go back to the store, just barely, though it made HLM late for a rehearsal. So we went and HLM asked a long, paranoid list of questions, and I asked one: can we get that same rebate on this not-quite-as-plush mattress? The answer was yes. So we got the second-to-best mattress for $1650 instead of the super-nice one for $2100, and that was fine with both of us. The slightly firmer one is actually better for things like reading propped up on one's elbows anyway. So all is well, and they'll probably deliver it on Friday. I'm curious to see what the kitties will make of it. It will squish down a fair amount under their paws... S especially is suspicious of surfaces like that. I bet she'll enjoy sleeping there though. :)

Did some slacking off after that, including a very nice masturbation & napping session in the living room... I just couldn't bring myself to waste a perfect rainy Sunday afternoon just because I didn't have company. The rest of the evening is for artsy stuff. I'm doing the final, well, final before sending off to Asimov's, anyway, edits of my short story. It's hard for me to read the notes from its last workshopping... there are some good (useful) comments, but so many more where the story just wasn't carefully read. Sigh. Ignore, respond to the good ones, and send, I say. Get it over with.

That's funny (meaning interesting, not ha ha),

bluechromis is the same way with the food. I can be hungry for hours, if not days ;), before I feel that eating is imperitive. I've got to learn that when she wants food, she doesn't mean soon, or eventually, she means NOW! Is this an accurate assessment of your situation as well? :-)

Looking very much forward to meeting you!

Agh, you're one of those people! How I envy you. Yup, I need to be fed NOW, at least when it gets like it did on Saturday. Also, I'm basically not worth talking to until 10 minutes after food starts to go down, due to crankiness. I have to eat a little, then collapse while digestion begins (that was the part where the neck rub happened), and then once I'm more or less okay I can talk again and also eat a real meal.

Dunno if bc works exactly like that, but I'm sure if you're understanding about the food thing, she'll appreciate it! :)
See you soon.

I should learn from this....

Definitely accurate :)
