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.
I'm getting a bit tired, both physically and emotionally. I read a couple of short stories in the last two hours that made me cry. But I think I will be finishing up this book very soon and moving on to a magazine next, for something a little different. I'll also be taking a break in the next hour to take dinner to the Fiance', so that will help me take a mental break! Gonna go cruise some more blogs right quick, and then back to the books.

Aww: I hope you feel more perky soon! :D I have this weird love of instant mashed potatoes...especially the garlic flavoured ones.
Power napping might help (as will your little break to see the beringed one). You're doing really well!
Diet Mt. Dew is my caffeine fix of choice. Sorry to hear that some of the short stories left you feeling blue -- I hope you perk up soon.
Good luck with the rest of the RAT!
Sounds like you need a nice little break and then a nice light read! best of luck with the reading :-)
Kudos on still going strong! I'm loving your snack choices. Maybe the dinner break with the finance will get the wind back in your sails.
Mental breaks are good - hope you come back feeling refreshed. Keep up the good work!
