Oh, my little brain

Filed under: — Aprille @ 3:18 pm

Sorry for the recent brevity and/or absence of posts.  It’s our busiest time of year at work (and will continue to be until early September), and when I get a few moments of downtime, I just want to close my eyes and lean back.

In other news, I have some snack food updates:

CVS-brand honey-roasted cashews:  disappointing.  I don’t know why.  I like cashews.  I like honey-roastedness.  These just don’t hit the spot for me like I thought they would.  Pregnancy is taking its toll on my sweet tooth, which wouldn’t be so bad except that I’m replacing my favorite sweets with my favorite salties, like, say, Cheetos.

String cheese:  good!  Convenient, high calcium, with some protein.  It’s really hard to find string cheese that isn’t individually wrapped at Hy-Vee, but the CVS store downstairs from my office (see above) that is my major destination for snack foods has some that is not individually wrapped.

Gummy bears:  seem like a good idea but make me feel gross.  I think it’s the sweets thing again.

Also, I feel like I take about a six hundred pills a day.  I take two calciums in the morning, two in the evening (I’m not a milk-drinker, see, and I know my limits when it comes to string cheese), a prenatal vitamin, a DHA supplement, and, um, a stool softener for reasons that are none of your damn business.  I guess this is all in preparation for when I’m old and have to take so many pills that I need one of those day-of-the-week containers.  I seriously don’t think my daily regimen would fit into one of those little cells, though.  The calcium and vitamin are really big.  I’m glad I’ve never had trouble swallowing pills; sometimes I have trouble getting one down, so I feel really bad for people who gag on them regularly.

Wow.  This was borderline incoherent.  See what happens when I get too busy at work?

    CVS? Wait…what? Is that something different from the Osco that used to be there? Just how in the hell long has it been since I was in that mall, anyway…?

    All freestanding Osco Drug locations were purchased by CVS last year.

    Yeah, I know it had changed to CVS before we moved into our new offices in February. I like it slightly less than Osco. I think the selection is not as good. Plus they don’t carry my favorite kind of trail mix anymore. At least I think it’s my favorite. Maybe I don’t even like it anymore.

    Well, as long as they retained the grumpy old ladies who worked the checkout, I guess I can’t complain. There was one who looked like Mad Eye Moody….

    Oh, I know just who you mean! I think she’s gone, sadly.

    That woman worked at a drug store (Osco? Drug Town?) in Coralville back when I was a little kid. I remember feeling a little creeped out by her, but by the time she moved to the mall, I found her presence to be a comfort.

    I know you dont know me…but I laughed so hard when reading your blog! Youre such a great writer.

    I believe her (Mad Eye Moody) name was Lavonne.

    By Gob, Zach, I think you’re right. That rings a bell. She connects us all.
