It's Sugar All The Time Now!

Not really. I ate some cereal with oatmilk. It was very tasty and sweet. But I didn't want more than one bowl. I went to Bittersweet downtown. I expected it to feel like a bakery with a bar attached for cocktails. It was more like a bar that happened to also have some desserts and NO sound dampening AT ALL. Every sound the bartenders made seemed to be as specifically offensively loud as possible, even though they were just making normal cocktails with normal bar implements. The conversations were very loud, even though there were only three tables in use.

In short, I'm not going back. But, at least I don't have to wonder if I've missed anything. Deafness, I guess. I'll miss slowly going deaf in a place like that. Oh no. I ordered a piece of cheesecake with a rummy sliced banana and some decaf coffee. The cheesecake was very tasty and not overpoweringly sweet.

After dinner, I tried one of those fun sized Snickers bars, and it tasted VERY sweet and, well, not terribly good. I was surprised with that revelation since Snickers I previously liked. In fact, a Snickers bar was my breakfast of choice in High School. I guess regular candy bars are out. I wonder if I'll have the same reaction to Reese's Peanut Butter cups, my favorite candy. I almost don't want to try them - I'm afraid of either not liking them, or liking them too much again. I guess I don't have to decide right now to try it again.

Today, I've already played piano, and I have a few hours before I head off to a Super Bowl Party to eat chili and cornbread. I'm increasing my water intake by following the starting plan in an app, Fabulous, that one of my friends recommended to me. With that, I think I'll get off of the computer and enjoy one of the two books I started on Friday, Pete Buttigieg's "Shortest Way Home" or "Indistractable" by Nir Eyal.

Halloween Party and my costume

Image
This weekend, I attended an awesome Halloween party, and even dressed up as Hermoine Granger. I admit, it was a bit fun to dress up as Hermoine Granger. I took a lot of thought for my costume. I started searching for costumes on August 26th, and found a costume site on September 13th:  https://www.moviescostume.com/harry-potter-gryffindor-uniform-hermione-granger-cosplay-costume-adults-ver.html However, I didn't want to just drop over $100 on a costume I'll likely only wear once. What else can I do? Can I just build the costume from regular clothes? After all, Hermoine mostly wore a school uniform for the first few movies. Certainly I could do that. I set off to build my uniform. I got the skirt from Lands End. The socks , blazer , patch ,  tie  and wand from Amazon. The shirt came from J Jill, but I bought that about ten years ago or so, and the shoes I purchased last year from Belk. I referenced this guide to learn how to tie a Full Windsor Knot, a tie style wit

Board games and near the end of the gym challenge

Today was another success! Went to the gym after my two cups of coffee, warmed up the rest of the Picadillo for lunch, and finished a few chores. This evening, I was invited to a board game night with a few friends. We played Spinjas and Stuffed Fables. The gym was my last arm/chest routine day until the 31st, where I'll do the full body routine and see where I gained. I'm certain I didn't lose weight - way too many cookies and candies around to snack on, but hopefully I'm stronger. I certainly feel stronger and better, and that is enough to keep going. I'm looking forward to getting a better diet in January by not having sugar for the month, and continuing to go the the gym - just not daily. Stuffed Fables is a really cute game! We played Story 1 where a girl's blanket is stolen from a little girl's bed, and the Stuffed animals characters, Theadora, Stitch, Flops and Lumpy have to travel through the underworld to rescue the blanket and get back to bed b

Jose and Sons review

 I went with one of my friends to Jose and Sons Mexican restaurant on Glenwood Avenue and Pleasant Valley Road. I picked this place as I'd hear a lot of good things about it, and we were there early before the place got busy.  We were not impressed. The server was slow to get us our drinks, and did not get us chips and salsa, bur I could see his other tables got chips and salsa - turns out it was from a runner. We got ours eventually, (not from the server) but the first five minutes of our meal, we just stared at a bowl of guac and our two waters. No matter, maybe he was new. Maybe the kitchen was frying a new batch of chips. Maybe the bartender was new. While waiting, we noticed that the place looked like it needed new paint. In our booth, the pink paint was chipping off the wall. I was confused, because I thought they just moved here from downtown. They didn't even give the place a new coat of paint before moving in? The chips were warm, not hot, and the salsa was very sweet.
