sluggish

can this sluggish one step out of sync vibe really be the absence of dark chocolate? That little jolt of adrenalin? Of optimism? That shot of alignment? Just one M+ M... would that right the frame?

No... it's never one. But two... I could be okay with two.

okay... but what's here? what other sweetness is here now sans chocolate?

Friday Writers coming

do I still put out the M+M's? of course I do...

will I ever not begin tasting sweets in my mouth first thing in the morning?

Craving abating, but not anywhere near gone.

What's with the snow? Snow goes with hot chocolate and cake for god sakes. WTF?

Good Earth good, but...

A planet burger. A lemonade green drink, all natural. Leaving the Galleria a half hour later I tell Ma, "but the problem is I'm already hungry."

"Really?" she says.

But there are genetics. She goes right for Jude's ice cream sandwiches when we get home. Wish I could join you, really wish I could. You have no idea how much...

Now, I'm going to have a handful of Raisin Bran and go night night and have some very sweet dreams.

where do you crave it in your body?

TCF asked me that last night. It was the tenth time at least that day when I asked him, "can I have some sugar now?" as in "do I really have to do this?"

"Where do you crave it in your body? In your mouth?"

Yes. Exactly. What an amazing question. I never thought about it before. Where in my body? Well...everywhere, naturally... but to specify... in my mouth. That blew me away, no pun intended, but I have no idea why.

 So now I must sit with this craving in my mouth.

Chazaricide

Chazari. I heard it repeatedly when I begged for sugar or sweets. My dad, a doctor, a broken Yiddish record, was unyielding. "Charazi! Roxanne!"

In other words,  no. It's junk. It's rotten. No way.

Can we go to McDonalds?

Chazari!

Dad! Guess what I got on Halloween? Full sized Hershey Bars!

Chazari!

Dad... please? Can we get Twinkies?

Chazari!

Not that he was extreme or scary, but his opinion was known deep in my bones; every time I crossed that line, I knew I was committing chazaricide.
