Again I wake at 5 with a glass of water
7:00 poached egg on english muffin with a slice of cheese and glass of milk
9:00 morning thunder tea- which would seem like a better choice than mt dew but I still probably use too much sugar in it. I reckon it is better than all the corn syrup and other things in the soda.
11:15 today's lunch is a crisp mixed green salad with blue cheese dressing, cottage cheese and a small bag of cheetoes.
5:00 leftover pasta and glass of milk.

Somewhere in here is a sneaky thing. Since I have been drinking more water, I have also been eating peppermint lifesavers. So the water tastes less like well, water. However, I don't count them and find that I do probably nibble on them more than I should.
Other news- my tooth that was having problems last summer abscessed last night. I heated a pin and drained it followed by gargling with salt water. Will probably get the darn thing pulled. sigh- this after much dental work on it- it had a crown put on a few years ago and then a month of root canaling last summer. it has been twinging off and on since the root canal. I was going to not go see the dentist but then I let my rational mind win over dentist fear. "I have an infection in my head!" I told myself and that just seems like the makings of a lifetime movie that promotes dental care. With the words "I HAVE AN INFECTION IN MY HEAD" on repeat, I made an appointment.
