Fillet mignon. Lobster. Shrimp. BBQ ribs. Spicy chili. Salsa and chips. Sigh.

Don’t mind me. I’m just daydreaming about foods I would like to be eating. I had Campbell’s Cream of Mushroom and Garlic soup for dinner. It was really good. I hadn’t tried it before. I think the garlic flavor was a little too strong, unless you like garlic as much as I do, but I loved it. I can’t wait to cook a round steak in it. Mmmm. Round steak. I miss round steak too.

Took the day off from those antibiotics, and my digestive system settled down. I will like start taking them again tomorrow, but not three a day. Sure, it would be nice to fend off infection, but I get nowhere if I spend the next five days in the bathroom incapable of keeping down what little nutrition I am taking in. I’ve already lost five pounds since last Tuesday, ten since the whole toothache thing started, and that’s putting me into what I call the Danger Zone. I really don’t have a lot of spare weight to lose.

Tomorrow I am getting on with life. I have to go to the feed store to get the cats their special and expensive food. While I have lost weight the last week, one week on the Purina and Ronin has gain at least three pounds, and he’s become a food hog. This is annoying his sister, who would also like to eat the tasty kitty junk food. They have been at each other all day. Anyway, it will feel good to get out of the house for a while.

I might even stop at Sonic and treat myself to some soft and greasy fries. A pale substitute for the things I would like to be eating, but it’ll just have to do. My mouth says it isn’t ready to deal with solids yet. It is saying it’s feeling pretty damn good though! Two more of the stitches fell out today, and the last one is itching like crazy and getting lose, so it’ll probably go soon too. Everything is going according to plan, but, you know, I am impatient to get on with my normal life.

Ugh. The cats are fighting again. Guess I better go break up the latest squabble. I swear, they curled up by me and slept together like best friends all afternoon, but as soon as they woke up, they were back at each other’s throats again. Ah, sibling rivalry at its best!
