I gave up drinking 3 weeks ago. Or was it 4?
I gave up caffeine 2 weeks ago.

The person currently inhabiting this body no longer has a racing mind at 2am, because the person is asleep.

However, the person gets very tired at the office around 3pm and wanders around looking for candy.

It’s a now choice, not a forever choice, but who knows.

Imagine all of the foodstuffs I’ve given up hanging out in a room together. A break room. Coffee is smoking. Bread is filing her fingernails. Cheese is just sitting looking shiny. And wine is sloshing herself into a puddle. Just waiting. They’re all there waiting for me.

FIRST REACTION
“This has something to do with pedophilia. Something is WRONG and we just don’t know what it is yet. This is some really deep resign-y jiujitsu slight of hand. What is the ‘real’ story???”

SECOND REACTION
“Genius move! Pope is now CEO. Administrator! Oh you don’t think so? Well snap he’s infallible, caught you in a logic trap, bwah ha ha. IT ALL MAKES SO MUCH MORE SENSE NOW. Less threatening. ‘He couldn’t fulfill his duties.’ Popes will now be voted out by their board of directors! Hostile take-over! If the papacy will now be run more like a Fortune 100 corporation, openly, I welcome it.”

THIRD REACTION
Vague sense of longing wishing this had happened while I was attending an all-girls Catholic high school.

Ok, remind me what I am supposed to hate about it?

ONE
I am drinking Nespresso while listening to some band called Foxygen that Spotify has recommended to me. I AM THE FUTURE.

TWO
I have had a boring cold for approximately 16 days. Its final moments are comprised of a splitting sinus headache, perhaps a sign that my sinus is desperately looking for more stuff to cough or blow out of itself and is coming up empty. It’s like a sinus version of being hangry. Grrr, I need snot, etc.

THREE
I caught up on several back issues of the New Yorker. To be clear, I do not read the fiction and will only occasionally deign to glance at the Shouts & Murmurs. I can usually make it through the restaurant review (short and snappy but only relevant to me approx. .01% of the time), Talk of the Town, I skip the economics thing, and maybe hit 1/3 of the nonfiction. Then skim the book reviews and indulge happily on the theater, TV and film reviews, and usually some light piece written by Louis Menand that makes you go, “Oh.” And the cartoon contest is so embarrassing.

FOUR
I did flag one thing to go back to, about the guy who invented his own language? Probably dates from December.

FIVE
And for the fifth thing, she wants you to know it’s really easy to make chicken enchiladas at home.
