30 October 2013 - Day 0

I had a nightmare that wasn't,on the face of it, soo horrible. I dreamed I was in a room with a number of men and someone told me "you'll need to learn German". I  said "fine". Then Kathie said "wake up, you made a strange sound". I said "oh, thanks, I'm fine." Then it occurred to me that I was not fine and that I would have died of a heart attack if she had not woke me up." Later, I told her to wake me up every time she heard me make a strange noise. I did not tell her the content and meaning of the dream!

I resolved to make today the first day of my new life and to save both of us. I "heard" a voice in my head say  I would live for another twelve years.  I had better exercise  and life better to make this prophecy come true...

26 October 2013

Breakfast: at the McPherson Holiday Inn dining room for scrambled eggs, well cooked bacon, SOS on a biscuit, orange juice and coffee

Lunch: at a quick food place called "Freddies" and I had:

• steak burger
• fries
• medium "Diet Pepsi"
• a "custard with chocolate sauce"

One of the workers went by and I asked "do we have to go to the counter to get the custard". She said "yes" and then probably figured that since I was on the inside, it would be hard for me to get to the counter. She said "I'll get it for you".

It is a heck of a note when some of the best service I've gotten at a restaurant is from someone who isn't paid to provide waitress service. There are a number of sit down places "back home" who could learn serious lessons from this young woman...

Dinner: Since we were at the Kansas Lions State Council meeting in McPherson, our Saturday evening meal was catered by Montana Mikes. This is a buffet and I had my usual:

• roast beef
• mashed potatoes
• mixed boiled broccoli florets and carrots
• a roll with butter
• lots of that seductive gravy
• cold water and
• apple crisp for desert

After dinner, several of us went to the Montana Mikes bar and I had two bottles of Corona.

_____"Babylon 5: Meditations on the Abyss (#5.14)" (1998)

______Londo Mollari: "Vir, we are not biologically equipped to handle fast food." 
______Vir Cotto: "I know. I know. But it tastes so great going down. Coming up again, it's not so terrific, but-"

As anticipated, I was sick as a dog about an hour and a half after going to bed. It was probably the fat in the gravy and the fatty meat, made worst by the two beers aftger dinner.

I barfed several times and went back to bed. Then, I had to get up and garble to try getting the acid out of my throat. I also ate four Tums.

I went back to  bed and had to get up as I  was coughing up pheum. I stood over the hotel room sink coughing up chunks of yellow and white crap and didn't go back to bed until much later than I wanted to!

This Saturday night meal has been a regular feature twice a year for years and I have blown chunks afterwards since 2004 or 2005. (I suspect diabetes has severely damaged my stomach.) The next time I queue up, I'll skip the gravy and maybe have a very small amount of meat - a taste really!

I'll have to discuss all of this with  my family MD again. Maybe I've finally gotten cause to see the Endocrinology MD (which we don't have in town...)

 Main Course

 Same pre-dining view of steak, broccoli and mashed potatoe

Desert

The food was excellent, the service  excellent and the view unparalleled in town. Every time we go here, we always ask for a table with a nice view. I'm amazed that many people do not seem to care about the view. It this is the case, there are other steak houses in town that have fine food, adequate service and absolutely no view!

14 October 2013

Breakfast: spoon sized shredded wheat and coffee

Lunch: ramon with chicken and cold water

Dinner: steak, baked potatoe, broccoli, beer

Snack: I made a "Depth Charge"/"Boilermaker" by putting a plastic shot
glass of whiskey into a large glass of beer (just over a bottle of
LandShark). The shot glass did not drop to the bottom of the beer glass.
Instead, it tilted over on it's side and spilled the "Maker's Mark" out.
I chugged this and it was LandShark and then a shot of Marker's Mark. It
was a waste of two types of booze! I finished the 2nd bottle of beer.
When I went to bed, I was fairly tipsy...

13 October 2013

Breakfast: fried bacon in a sandwich, two eggs "boiled" in bacon fat, and coffee

 

Lunch: asparagus, baked chicken with dressing and cold water. Later, I had a ½ cup of coffee and went to a local ice creamme place for an inferior tasting small vanilla ice creamme cone with vanilla "ice creamme" dipped in chocolate. It was not worth the $2.17 I paid for it; I paid 18¢ in state, county and city sales tax and once again I wonder: what am I getting for this money???

 

I felt ill after eatting this "ice creamme" so I know what I got. I got ill!

 

Dinner: Hungry-Man Boneless Fried Chicken, mashed potatoes, corn and brownie and iced water

 

This is day 13 of the Republician shutdown of the government and the 10th day I have worked without pay.
