3pm: Diet Coke and a Fudge Brownie

By Anonymous

Time for my daily diet coke break (or Diet Pepsi, I don't have a preference and am actually drinking Diet Pepsi now, but in the South we call everything "coke" and I've had a hard time breaking the habit). I don't drink coffee ever or caffeine often, but I do enjoy my afternoon diet coke. I used to be all about the diet coke + something salty, but a month or two ago I got in the unfortunate habit of eating a baked good in the afternoon. I had lost a lot of weight during the DCFS drama and through the holidays, and by January my weight almost matched the number I blatantly lied about on my driver's license. I was wearing pants I hadn't fit into in years- even a pair I thought I'd given away because they didn't fit back in the skinny college days when I bought them. But with my new 3pm habit, those pants will go back on the top shelf to hopefully emerge again one day. They may be cute, but their cuteness doesn't rival the deliciousness of this fudge brownie. Or those Subway chocolate chip cookies. Or a rice krispy treat. Mmmmm....

Where was I? Oh yes, my 3 pm study break update. Landon is doing wonderfully. He slept from 9 pm to 5:45 am - something he doesn't usually do even when he's healthy! Everyone was feeling perkier this morning - especially Landon, who's acting like nothing ever happened. He hasn't had a fever since yesterday morning, has been eating and drinking normally, and spent an hour bouncing away in his jumperoo squealing with delight at the cat. He probably could have gone to Maya's today, but that seemed wrong, so JP is home with him while I get things done at the law school. So far I've made lots of necessary phone calls, proof-read the four papers I wrote on Saturday (I am now done with Marriage Law for the quarter- yay!), and read a long scholarly article that I now need to write a reaction paper for (well, first I need to think of a reaction. The paper was moderately interesting with nothing jumping out, begging to be critiqued for five pages). But with some sleep, my diet coke, and a brownie, the world is looking pretty bright again.

Okay, brownie gone, diet coke empty- back to work!
