What I've eaten: Peanut M&M's; instant mashed potatoes (I don't know, the cupboards are pretty bare and I was carb-craving!); Life Savers and more Diet Mountain Dew of course; chunky peanut butter and pretzels; Chik-Fil-A sammich and fries with my honey and more Life Savers.

The break to have dinner with Ricky was good. It reinvigorated me. Turned off the AC at this point and opened the windows back up. The fresh air is helping. Think I'm gonna browse through my new Bookmarks magazine for a while, to get a taste of something different. Oh, and look for a review of the book I finished, coming soon!
