Ok, I didn’t actually weigh in today, but whatever. Saturday I got back on the wagon and went off sweets. I’m doing 24 WW points a day instead of 22, and I do not know why, but the pyschological difference is fucking *profound*. I’ve been managing 1 or 2 APs a day, so I’m working with a base of 25 or 26 points daily, and that plus the WPA of (divided out evenly) 5 points a day is…no strain at all. My high day of days I counted this week…

(I think there are two copies currently floating around the house.) He came into the kitchen and said, in amazement, “It’s all… *descriptive*. It’s *gooey*.” I said, “*Gooey*?” and he considered that perhaps that was not the best word for him to have chosen. It was too late by…
i am WEAK!
*giggles helplessly at self* I should not. I should not be this weak, but there is a perfect and irresitable Princess Bride homage setup at the end of this chapter.

My editor probably *should* make me take it out. But by God I will keep it in until somebody makes me remove it. :) Man.…
