UP FOUR TENTHS OF A POUND! UP FOUR TENTHS OF A POUND! My God what is the meaning of this!!!!!! Just kidding, I'm still down 3 lbs for the month and 9.2 lbs for the year. I'm not going to be too broken up about 4 ounces. 

Roommate came in this morning. When he got in he asked to run by the store to get snack food for the week. I took the chance to fill up on Bratwursts, Chicken, and Seltzer Water. I also got the ingredients for some “Fathead” Lasagna. It was a rather expensive trip for just buying one recipe along with Bratwursts and Chicken. But then again, the freezer is getting rather full. It would be nice to have a large chest freezer, but I just don't have the room for it. Or at least I had assumed. But satisfying a curiosity it does look like there are freezers that are around 3 cubic feet. Meh, even if I were to buy one of those I'd have to rearrange my apartment.

And I do admit that I did hesitate at the store when I passed by the beer display at the store. But I was able to argue that I was already spending way too much on groceries and that would just be spending money on stuff I really didn't need. On a grocery trip that already didn't have very well planned out. I knew that I was wanting to get Lasagna, bratwursts, and chicken. But normally when I go for a grocery run I have a shopping list on my phone, but I didn't today so I was kind of making it up as I went along. 

I do have to say that my allergy symptoms have improved greatly today. But I'm not sure if that's the allergies clearing up or because I'm taking medicine 

I took the time today to play a bit of Fallout: New Vegas this afternoon. In my opinion I prefer Fallout 3 to New Vegas as New Vegas has a bit too much “post” in their post-apocalyptic setting. But that was just the kind of mood I was in today. And Fallout 3 on Steam doesn't have any achievements.

An interesting note was that for the most part of the day I really didn't crave any beer. (Outside of that moment buying groceries this morning.) But as I was drinking seltzer water while playing video games I thought it would be nice to have some whiskey to mix into the soda water. Which is kind of odd, I don't really ever buy whiskey. I had to sit myself back down a couple of times because I found myself standing up and pacing around thinking about how I could just get some and have a little and it'd be fine. But the counter argument I had was that I just don't have a little bit at a time, and that's kind of the problem. I could buy a small $20 or so bottle today, but I wouldn't go to bed until it was gone.

It took a while this evening to cook the lasagna, but it does take a while when you have to make the “noodles” from scratch. And the “noodles” turned out a bit too fluffy. The recipe calls for a 9x13 dish and that's what I used, but I wonder if I should have used the bigger dish to have the “noodles” spread out wider. It is the same recipe for pizza crust, and honestly it does work better as a pizza dough. Not that it turned out bad overall, Dr Berry says to eat until you're “Comfortably Stuffed” and I was definitely stuffed after dinner.

It is interesting that tonight I had another hardcore “crash” as it came time for me to get to bed. And again it wasn't a getting tired over time, I'm just “bleah” all at one. But I have been meaning to try to get to bed earlier So I think I'll just wrap It up here.
