Out Of My Tree

So, huge achievement. 40 days of Lent over baby! And of the three things I decided to give up (chocolate, fizzy drinks and volunteering for more things) I managed, well, one out of three.
The fizzy drinks clause went out at the anniversary party - Southern Comfort and lemonade.
Volunteering? Can anybody say M-U-G. Come on, I think we all know that was a stupid idea!

But chocolate? 40 days without. It seems like a long time but I had an intolerance to chocolate for years when I was a kid. I had to be so careful about what kind of sweets I ate in case they had sneaked some chocolate into them. It was a real pain in the arse. So, I honestly thought 40 days would be easy… but it always feels like I am catching up on my chocolate consumption from childhood so a day away from it is a day wasted.

When I thought I might be diabetic I wasn’t really bothered about giving up cakes and fast food and alcohol… but chocolate? That was the kicker.

But today… oh, today!

I woke late and took down the eggs I had bought the family. Normally we buy gifts instead of chocolate but with all the other gift giving events recently we decided to break with our tradition and take the

easier option.

There was so so much chocolate around today. So so so much. The cat decided that the eggs were hers and guarded them for a while…

…before deciding that she deserved one.

Woh, wait, I promise not to actually feed her any.I am not cleaning up the sick again.

I think I’m going to have to make chocolate crispies or cornflake cakes or something… There just is too much.

It was weird. It just didn’t taste the same. Maybe it’s something I need to ease myself back into?

It’s getting ridiculous. Waking up as the morning ends, reading on the couch for an hour while tickling the cat’s ear, falling asleep on said couch, going upstairs to grab my Mac, lying down, waking up three hours later… then going to bed five hours later.

Yep, that’s right cats and kittens, I’ve been awake for a total of six hours today.

And I (according to two people) look ‘peeky’.

Wednesday, and the doctor’s appointment which will give me all the answers (please oh please oh please) can’t come soon enough.

But enough of that. Let’s talk about this.

Tomorrow is Easter (or as it has become known in my head ‘the day I get to eat Chocolate and drink Dr Pepper again’).

Am considering possibly, maybe going to church tomorrow. All depends on what time I wake up and what mood I wake up in. I am having short fuse issues at the moment… and well, church has been known to annoy me a little so… yep. If not it’ll be wake, eat a breaded product with Nutella on it and move on from there…

Hopefully to something sweet and egg shaped.

One thing I forgot to mention yesterday was how much I enjoyed seeing the strangely alluring Peter Krause on teevee again in Dirty Sexy Money.

I’ve got a horrible feeling this is another show I’ll become addicted to only to have it cancelled… but while it is on I am going to love every single minute of it. Every single minute.

Probably… ah, but even if I don’t… celebrate, good time, come on… Brothers and Sisters is back soon!
