31 August 2006

Bereakfast: Stouffer's Lean Cuisine chicken with basil cream sauce (chicken breast with rib meat and angel hair pasta) and a can of D.P. This is quite good.

Lunch: Meatloaf, baked potatoe and brocolli.

Snack: A "medium" ice cream cone dipped in chocolate at Dairy Queen...
I had an intense craving for this shit! (No, I'm not pregnant, not even "sympatric pregnant...)

Dinner: A Dillions salad and water.

30 August 2006

Breakfast: Aunt Jamami pancakes and sausage and a couple of cup of coffee...

Lunch: At Casey's Cowtown: Chicken fried chicken, mashed potatoes with white gravy, corn, a roll and two glasses of DP.
The service has gotten better. I think this is a matter of the number or (Lions who attend going down by about 5 or 6 and the waitress has gotten used to us...)

?Dinner: I made meatloaf for lunch Thursday and tried a little bit. I put a lot of dried onion and "Italian Seasoning" and ground up garlic in it and a lot of oatmeal. The oatmeal soaked up most of the grease. After trying a sample, I realized I'd probably made a mistake.

Dinner proper was extra crispy chicken, mashed potatoes and brown gravy, a small piece of "corn on the cob" on a stick and a roll with honey (all from "The Rat") and a couple of glasses of water. I feared the combination of this and my snack would be a mistake. It was...

After dinner, I drank a "gin and tonic". I probably shouldn't have but I figured I had nothing to lose...

The Mistake Confirmed: About two hours after going to bed, I woke up with stomach juices bubbling up into my mouth. I immediately realized I was having a serious reaction to the grease in the food I'd eaten and that my best bet would be to go vomit. I didn't want. Instead, I went to
took a pee. (Always easy for me these days.) I kept waking up, rolling onto my right side (the opening to the stomach is on the left side) and kept trying to go back to sleep. It didn't work...

I quietly got out of bed, crept into the hall bathroom, very quietly shut the door before turning on the light. Then, I crouched low over the toilet hoping this would set off vomiting. No luck. I recently cleaned the toilet. So, I stuck my finger down my throat and vomited three times. Then,
thinking I still didn't feel quite right, it was finger in the throat time again for the fourth offering to "the Porcelain Goddess". After that, I felt better and went back to bed. (After flushing the toilet and washing my hands, of course. I wouldn't want anyone to think I'm uncivilized...

Then, I slept fine!

20 August 2006

Breakfast: The Hotel at Old Town (Wichita) provided a "free" breakfast. Actually, they raised the room rates by $30/night and we effectively paid $15 each for:

1. moist scrambled eggs,
2. sliced ham,
3. chopped up potatoes baked with onions (good stuff>,
4. orange juice and
5. coffee

There was also pasteries, which we didn't touch and some chopped up fruit that Kathie ate and which I did not eat...

There is a new hotel going up nearby. We're going to compare prices the next time we go to Wichita for the night. We really don't go to the Hotel at Old Town just to go there; we go there for the piano player, Patric. We would be going there and staying at the cheaper hotel and going there to listen to and visit with Patric...

19 August 2006

What I thought I remembered of the 19^th on the 21^st

Breakfast: McDonald's for pancakes and coffee (I think on the 21st)

Snack at the Pratt Dairy Queen (the McDonalds was "shut for remodeling") where we got glasses of DP and some snack chicken thingies...

Lunch: Lunch at Chicago something or another in Wichita where I had lazanna and a large Diet Pepsi.

Movie snack where I had two 32 oz draft beers (Budweiser, for God's sake!) and popcorn.

Dinner: At a nice steak house near the hotel, 16 oz Prime rib, two little double baked baked potatoes, salad with French dressing and Diet Pepsi.

Post dinner: Whilst listening to Patrick, a gin and tonic and a strawberry dahrehi and a tonic and lime (no gin).

I paid the price for this. Although we only ate half of our steaks and packed them in ice to take home (I finished them off on Monday 21 August 2006), I felt a bit queesy late. Combine a large meal with the booze and I kept waking up with stomach juices gurgling up. I slept very poorly...

What I actually ate. I found my written food diary and read this:

Breakfast: Aunt Jamami pancakes with 2¹/₂ sausages (I scored!) and a cup of coffee and a can of D.P.

I didn't write down the snack bought when we stopped to pee.

Lunch Lazana and salad and Diet Coke at "Old Chicago" in Wichita.

Movie Snack Two (2!) 32 oz Buds (Thisis a piss beer but the only apparently decent beer they had at the Old Town Warren threter) and half (give or take a ¹/₄) of a bit container of popcorn...

Dinner: At Whickey Creek: Salad and half of a well done 16 oz Prime Rib chunk, one of two twice baked potatoes and two glasses of Diet Coke.

At the Bar (with Patick)

1. Gin and Tonic
2. 2 Strawberry Dacheries
3. 1 tonic water with lime (but no gin)

I paid the price for this. Although we only ate half of our steaks and packed them in ice to take home (I finished them off on Monday 21 August 2006), I felt a bit queesy late. Combine a large meal with the booze and I kept waking up with stomach juices gurgling up. I slept very poorly...

18 August 2006

Breakfast: Aunt Jamami pancakes with sausage, 2 cups of coffee.

Snack: A little bit of what is left of my birthday cake...

Lunch: We skipped salad today and went to Wendys. I had a double hamburger, baked potatoe withbutter and sour cream and a "Diet Coke" (I think it was...).

From the way I eat, you'd think I was healthy! It's hard to be a diabetic and eat right and exercise properly when I feel fine and haven't had any significant body damage. However, I go in for my "dilated eye exam" this coming Monday (24 August 2006) and that could be an "eye opening experience". I hope not...

Dinner: Healthy Choice Country Herb Chicken White Meat Chicken in Gravy with Roasted Potatoes, Vegetables and Cherry Crisp (I didn't touch the Cherry Crisp...) and a can of DP. (It was quite good!)

Pre-bedtime snack: a little left over summer sausage, crackers and small piece of my birthday cake...

16 August 2006

Breakfast: Aunt Jamami pancakes and sausage plus a cup or two of coffee.
Meeting: A choclate coated donut and a cup of coffee.
Lunch: Lions at Casey's: Chicken Fried Chicken, mashed potatoes with white gravy, a small bowl of cottage cheese with a wedge of tomatoe thrown on (I substituted for green beans...) and some Diet Pepsi. The waitress brought me a carafe of Diet Pepsi. This was the best service I've had at Casey's in a very long time...)
Snack: A couple of donuts at work. I felt like shit and thought it might have been a combination of low blood sugar and the heat and humidity. Regardless, the sugar "fix" "got me set right with the world". (Dire Straits?)
Dinner: Marie Callender's One Disk Classics Spaghetti with Meat Sauce & Seasoned Garlic Bread and a can DP. It tasted quite good but I think I'll go with "Healthy Choice" tomorrow night...

15 August 2006

Breakfast: Left over oven roasted beef, potatoes, carrots and onions. Coffee and a DP.

Lunch: A McDonalds club salad with crispy chicken, 3 McNuggetts (the possibly chicken thingies) and part of a large Diet Coke...

Dinner: Healthy Choice Beef Pot Roast with Gravy/ Apple Cranberry Crisp/ Carrots/ Roasted Potatoes and a can of DP (The beef was overcooked and too tender, there were almost no potatoes and the carrots too crisp. The "Apple Cranberry Crisp" had an interesting flavour...)

Post Dinner: A large hot dog, micronuked and eatten with catsup and mustard and a Micleob {bp} Lager...

14 August 2006

Breakfast: cream of wheat, four slices whole wheat toast, coffee.

Lunch: 12 oz steak at Applebys, garlic mashed potatoes, steamed brocolli and a couple glasses of DP.

Desert: Choclate cake with choclate frosting and blue trim (it was, after all, my 55th birthday...)

Dinner: Boston Market Home Style Meals Meatload with Homestyle Mashed Potatoes & Gravy and a can DP...

13 August 2006

Happy Birthday Grandma Lil!!!

Breakfast: Spoon sized shredded wheat, a bananna, 2% milk, coffee and later, a slice of whole wheat bread with grape jelly and peanut butter. This was a serious mistake as it resulted in me having an upset stomach!

Lunch: 1 & ¹/₂ Ruben and a DP...

Dinner: Oven Roasted beef covered with olive oil, sliced onions, sliced potatoes and carrots. Then, my wife "drizzled" more olive oil on top of the veggie covered meat and some cheap cooking red wine. (I was washing my hands and she did helped me with this.)

12 August 2006

Breakfast: We have places to go so we went to McDonalds. I had the "Number 12", otherwise known as the "pancakes and sausage". Also had cup of too hot coffee.

Snack: A large bottle of DP (bought at a convience store when my wife had a guilt trip at me walking into this place and heading straight for the Men's Room; ah, the joys of "Having a Going Problem"...)

Lunch: At a restraunt in Elkhart, Kansas (the only one in town or so we were told!). Buffet with big slice of prime rib, piece of chicken (very nicely overcooked!), mashed potatoes with white gravy and cottage cheese (mashed potatoes "just ain't right without being mixed with some good cottage cheese, don't ya know"?), a couple of rolls with grape jelly and some salad aforehand. (If I had a drinking problem, I'd be talking of drinking heavily but I've got an eatting problem and that seems more socially acceptable and much harder to avoid than other substance abuse problems...)

Dinner: Kathie's baked chicken, rice pilof, aspargius and a DP.

After dinner, a single shot gin and tonic. I worry my wife has a drinking problem and she worries we've both got eatting problems...

We're both right, God Help Us!

11 August 2006

Breakfast: A pork chop, a small amount of fried potatoes and two fried eggs. Oh, yes, a cup of coffee and a DP...

Lunch: An Arby's chicken salad and a large order of Motirello sticks and a red sauce (which I split with my wife) and 2 cans of DP.

Dinner: A salad and water with most of a can of chicken/veggie soup. It should have been benign but my 2 hour post eatting blood sugar was 174! This is quite high.

I can tell myself that I took the metformin after eatting and I maybe should have taken it before eatting (ignore the recommendation that it never be taken on an empty stomach) or I can say I'd been feeling out of sort physically. This is true to a certain extent.

It was certainly a dismaying result...

I screwed up...

______Last night, we went to Montana Mike's for an early birthday party for me and because I've been working 5 am to 1 pm lately; this means I have to eat dinner before 6 pm and shortly after Kathie gets home from.

______I woke up several times from about an hour after I went to bed. I was burping up chunks of "something" and stomach juice. I guess this is GERD. Anyway, I probably could have stuck a finger down my throat but I wasn't willing to give into this urge. I woke uip feeling fine.

______My blood testr was on the high side, 151. Actually, this is exceptionally high, especially for a morning pre-breakfast, pre-medications test. I'd like to think it could be illness but I was fine aside from the GERD. I've got the vomiting into the mouth and every so often I'm chugging Pepto Bismol (which I call "Pink"). I take "me Pink" like a man: I chugg it and don't bother with that little measuring cup thingee...

Symptoms, Signs, and Complications
The most prominent symptom is heartburn, with or without regurgitation of gastric contents into the mouth. Complications of GERD include esophagitis (see Plate 20-4), esophageal stricture (see Plate 20-5), esophageal ulcer, and Barrett's metaplasia (see Plate 20-6). Esophagitis may cause odynophagia and even hemorrhage, which can be massive. Peptic stricture causes a gradually progressive dysphagia for solid foods. Peptic esophageal ulcers cause the same type of pain as gastric or duodenal ulcers but are usually localized to the xiphoid or high substernal region. They heal slowly, tend to recur, and usually leave a stricture on healing.

______So, I'll blame it on the GERD and not on overindulgence...

10 August 2006

Breakfast: A small piece of left over steak, a couple of small boiled potatoes, a lot of boiled brocolli flowers and some boiled carrots. (I've always liked a varient of the New England Boiled Dinner and this is one of my imitations...)

Lunch: We had a going away luncheon for a fellow leaving the office and a new hire. I had several barby'd chicken wings, a piece of some mystery meat (maybe a piece of pork?), salad and a couple of rolls. I brought in homemade choclate ice cream I'd made the day before (it had frozen as hard as a rock) and made homemade vinelli ice cream that morning. (It didn't harden up enuf and was still liquid at the centre.)

I left both containers of ice cream in the office freezer and expect to pick up the empty containers this coming Moanday night. Actually, I probably could pick them up today as I know who was working the day shift, evening shift, mid shift (AKA "graveyard") and again the day shift. Those lads will have not only eatten all the ice cream but will have washed the containers for me. However, I'll wash the containers when I get home because I've seen them wash dishes and their low standards of cleaniness would never have passed the Army Sergeants who taught me the virtues of cleaning dishes well...

A fine lot of munch mouths! Makes me proud I'm no longer in that "Brotherhood". (Actually, I still am but I have my little delusions and never make ice cream at home and don't dare buy it for I'll eat it...

Dinner: We went to Montana Mikes and I had the 16 oz steak, large "fully loaded" baked potatoe (I brought about ¹/₃ home as well as ¹/₂ of both my and my wife's rolls. I also had a Strawberry Margretti and a "Coors Origional" beer...

Here is one of my pet peeves: The piss pooor quality of draft beers

Montana Mikey's advertised a large scooner of draft beer. Well, my wife was going to drive home and since I'm working the night of my 55^th birthday (this coming Moanday), we decided to make this a substitue Birthday Bash. So, I asked the waitress what kind of beer they had on draft.

______"Bud lite, Coors lite and Amber Bock"
______"Is that all", I replied?
______"Well", I continued, "I don't drink lite because I don't think it's real beer! Do you have Miller Genuine Beer"?

______"We have Miller Lite."

______"He doesn't like lite beer", my wife interjected.

______"Do you have Michelob", I asked hopefully yet knowing I was doomed to hear:

______"We have Michelob Ultra.

______I may have shuttered and replied "Michelob Ultra isn't fit for human consumption.

______She proved to be a smart waitress as she replied: "I don't like it either and know some people who don't."

______"What else have you got?"

______She replied "Coors Origional" and that is what I ordered...

When Kathie and I were at OSU (that's Oregon and not Ohio or Oklahoma), the State of Oregon would not allow Coors to be sold in the state. A friend of ours went to Idaho and smuggled in several cases of Coors. He quickly sold it and we told each other how much we liked it.

I tried not to remember how I'd driven from Portland Oregon to Suitland Maryland in May 1974 as I drove my new car from my parent's house to where I was stationed (in the Navy). I stopped at Mountain Home Idaho and had a late dinner at the Enlisted Club. I couldn't understand why these "Zoomies" were putting down Coors and preferred "Budweiser" (the origional "piss" beer). I later found out when I could legally buy and drink Coors.

Actually, to be candid, Pissweiser -er- Budweiser really isn't that horrible of a beer. It's just too bland. Jax's Beer and Raineer were far worst. That Hawaiin' beer everybody had to have in the late 1970s was far, far worst. Let's not talk about "Amstil" (the Mediterrean version anyway).

9 August 2006

Breakfast: Big bowl of spoon sized shredded wheat and too much coffee.

Lunch: At Casey's Cowtown: Chicken fried chicken, mashed potatoes with white gravy, corn, roll and two glasses of "Diet Pepsi" (well, the second one was DP and I think the first was contaminated with "Dr. Pepper")

The service was great!

We had a new waitress...

Dinner: I think we must have had the default option of salad. I recall it was Mcdonald's "Asian" salad with crispy chicken and water. (I'm writing this late afternoon of 11 August 2006.)

8 August 2006

Breakfast: Aunt Jamami pancakes and sausage (I'll have something - anything - else tomorrow!) and coffee.

Snack: Some of those Sunshine Cheeze-It Baked Snack Crakers and a DP.

Lunch: Healthy Choice Beef Pot Roast (wity Gravy, Carrots, Roasted Potatoes and Apple Raisin Crisp).

I've had a lot of "Healthy Choice" meals and other "healthy" type meals lately; I think I'll go with unhealthy tonight...

Snack: A small left over piece of meat pizza and a one slice of whole wheat bread with peanut and grape jelly dunked in a coffee cup of choclate milk...

Dinner: Sirloin Steak, boiled potatoes and brocolli and cold bottled water to drink.

7 August 2006

Breakfast: Aunt Jamami pancakes and sausage, coffee.

Snack: Crackers and a DP...

Lunch: Healthy CHoice Sweet BOurbon Steak beef in bourbon Sauce / peach crisp / garlic mashed potatoes / broccoli and carrot medley

Desert: very nice choclate cake with rich choclate frosting!

4 August 2006

Breakfast: Aunt Jamami pancakes and sausage and coffee.

Lunch: Wendy's double burger and baked potatoe and a Diet something or another...

Dinner: Small salad, chicken fried steak and brown gravy, mashed potatoes, green shit -er- green beans (which I ignored) and water.

On McDonalds, a diatribe abouit the "MaKey Dees" in "my" town...

A scree about McDonalds in two part disharmony!

Part 1: 28 July 2006
______My wife went to the local McDonald. She went to the drive up and ordered:
______"One Asian salad with broiled chicken and one club salad with crispy chicken."
______The clerk in the window with the headset replied "did you say two Asian salads, one with crispy chicken and one with broiled?"
______"No! I said one Asian salad with broiled chicken and one Club salad with crispy chicken!"
______"Thank you, please pull up to the next window."
______She got home and I got the two salads out. The highly competient staff at McDonals had given her two Asian salads. That's fine for her, she likes the green crap they put on those Oriental -er- Asian salads. I don't!
______She was all upset and appologizing and I was telling her "it isn't your fault! They fucked up at McDonalds! Anyway, next time we go to the Wyatt Earp McDonalds, we're going inside! Not that that helps much; the last time I ordered "Asian salad with broiled chicken and Club salad with crispy chicken" they screwed it up and I ended up having to tell the "crew" a couple of times what I wanted...

Let's see if matters have improved and if "management" has imposed any "quality control".

Part 2: 3 August 2006:

______I went to McDonalds today and ordered "one Asian salad with grilled chicken to go, one Club salad with crispy chicken to go, medium order of "McNuggetts" (are they chicken?), a medium Diet Coke with ice and a medium Diet Coke without ice".
______Thinking of how my wife had gone through the drive in window last week, made the same order (save for the McNuggets) and got home to discover she’d been given two "Asian" salads, I took the two salads out of the plastic bag.
______They had given me two Club Salads.
______I said "I ordered an Oriental salad and a Club salad. I got two Clubs."
______The check out girl (young woman actually) came over, took the "Asian" salad back and asked "did the Asian salad have the broiled chicken".
______"Yes".
______She brought me over the proper salad and then we had a discussion of the available salad dressings. Until I’d asked about the salad dressings, there had been no mention of salad dressings and there were none in the plastic bag. I got two salad dressings.
______Then, I drove to my wife’s office and told her I’d been late because of the fuckup at McDonalds.
______She noticed that her salad didn’t have the peanuts it was supposed to come with...
______Are they trying to drive us to Arbys or Wendys or Burger King for salads?
______They are succeeding!!!

My retorical question: Let's see if matters have improved and if "management" has imposed any "quality control".

It doesn't look like they have. Maybe they just don't know they've got problems?

3 August 006

Breakfast: Aunt Jamima pancakes and sausage, a DP and a cup of coffee.

Lunch: McDonalds club salad and a "Diet Coke". The service sucked...

2 August 2006

Breakfast: Aunt Jamami pancakes and sausage and a DP (After seeing what came out of the coffee pot when it was cleaned and soaped with vinigar yesterday, I'm not inclined to drink any coffee! I heard one story that some of the "black dots" were moving...)

Snack: A small handful of peanuts from the office machine. They were good and stale!

Lunch: Pork chop, mashed potatoes with brown gravy, cottage cheese and a couple glasses of DP.

Snack: I shouldn't have but I had some kind of food craving. I bought some grape jelly when I bought a dozen eggs (after buying minute stake). Thisis for breakfast tomorrow. I wish I didn't have the food cravings but I think it is a response to the hot and humid weather. I also wish they wuld end...

Dinner: (at the rodeo) This was a long winded affair...

First, they had the $1 hamberger, chips, Pepsi (no Diet Pepsi) and small (1/2 cup size) vinella ice cream.

Then, we went to a mexican place and I had a very small tacco. Later, I had another of these.

There is this little Mexicane ?Restaurant on South 2^nd Street. I go past it every night when I'm coming home late. There is this roach coach just outside of a long single wide prefad "house". They do the cooling in this building. They make some nice Mexican food. For years when I dove past it, I'd see Mexican families having dinner there and told myself that i'd nver stop and eat there. I figured it would not be a place big on cleaniness. I had some last night and liked it. I am probably wrong about the cleaniness issue; the city is pretty good with doing cleaniness surveys.

the picture of me...

Me skinny and age 25...

1 August 2006

Breakfast: Aunt Jamami pancakes and sausage and a couple of cups of coffee.

Lunch: Boston Market Home Style Meals - Meatloaf with Homestyle Mashed Potatoes & Gravy and 2 cans DP.
