Since the age of 10, I've been allergic to cats. Not soooo allergic, that I can't be in the same room with them, but allergic enough not to cuddle and DEFINITELY not to touch my face afterwards.
Still, when Meeno visited my bed last night--purring, loving, excited--snuggling didn't seem like such a bad idea. For 20 minutes, she pushed her head into my hands, made air biscuits with her paws, and nuzzled my neck....which of course required some eye rubbing. Did I mention I shouldn't be doing that? Anyway, this is what stupidity looked like this morning.
No...my eyes are not usually this swollen.
Since Tuesday, there have been other--less obvious--acts of foolishness:
- Consuming 1/2 a bagel...in case the Ivermectin killed me
- Devouring an entire box of cinnamon cookies...despite having a killer thrush infection
- Not drinking green smoothies for two days...although they are helping
- Trying chocolate....to revisit the impact of cocoa
- Going all day without food or drink...in order to get somewhere
I had good reasons: Convenience, Comfort, Curiosity. Still, none of it made any logical sense. Yeast is bad. Green drinks are good. Sugar feeds thrush. Caffeine (cocoa) makes me crazy. And eating is vital. Not at all like my food Nazi self. Have I suddenly lost my mind?
Makes me wonder (sans the cat stupidity which is normal), who's doing the thinking these days...me or the bugs? For a couple of interesting thoughts on how parasites and yeast control behavior, click the highlighted links. In the meantime, I'm going to chain myself to the sofa.
Altered Today: Appearance, New problem...how to control myself--especially when I think I am
You've gone bonkers! I would expect this kind of looney toon behavior out of me, but not Kathy, the Food Nazi. :) Hey, we all have our moments. So, the Bugs had the lead this week. You can overtake them. I believe in you, my friend.

I know!!! When I was telling my Acupuncturist, her eyes were as big as saucers. "I know," I said. "GU!!!"
I'm going to have chain myself to the couch. Even at Whole Foods, I'm dangerous. The worst part is...I didn't even enjoy it. Aaaargh!!!!

Tell me about it.
I will take a week long hiatus from sweets and then I look over and see our roommate has bought us...
DOUBLE STUFFED OREOS.
Isn't that horrific? It's not even a nice vegan oatmeal raisin cookie from whole foods or lisa's balls that necessarily pull me in to the trap. It can just be plain shitty old oreos that are probably going to give me an ulcer.
Damn it.
Sugar is the devil.

Definitely the devil. I would kill for a Double Stuffed Oreo.
