maple syrup, family communications,

I may finally have found some support for the statement that maple syrup is 'better' for you than other sugars.  I've been curious about this since a co-worker said it, but then couldn't tell me why. 

( some rambling about sugars )

And that, my friends, is all I have the brain for at the moment.  Am going to eat my breakfast of rice (empty carbs) with milk and fake maple syrup (high fructose corn syrup with caramel coloring), and call my doctor re the hurting hand.  Which of course is feeling somewhat better today because I took painkillers before bed and deflated it.

I haven't said much of real content the past few days because there really hasn't been much to do besides complain or worry.  Life hasn't changed much, although ( I did get emails back from Eightball and Hawk last night.   )

Right, calling the doctor's office.  ... ...  Left a message. 

( more rambling )

Mmmm, apple pie and ice-cream.

We've had apple pie for three days in a row, for breakfast one day, and I'm still so very very happy with it.  I bought it because I was so frustrated, Saturday.  Nothing was working out right, and when I get in that mood I remember that little safety rhymn: "I'm gonna shoot that guy; let's have some pie."  Well, you know, people get cranky when they get hungry.  But if you can distract yourself you might not actually need to shoot someone. 

Damn fine piece of pie.

I also have rooibus tea to go with it. ;)
