- What's for Dinner: Cheeseburger
So it's come to my attention that after meeting me, certain folks don't find me all that threatening and they think they could take me. Well, maybe they could; but, you know, mild mannered Clark Kent looked like easy prey until he took off those glasses and found a phone booth. I'm just sayin'.

Thanks, CC and Jeanie, I've been feeling better the past couple of days. I've tried to change my sleeping positions to see if that makes a difference. It's gotten chilly at night lately and I haven't turned on the heat yet, so I'm thinking that maybe I curled myself up into a ball around the pillows to get warm. I put an extra blanket on the bed last night and that seemed to help. I'll try your feather suggestion next, Jeanie.

I had the worst mints ever yesterday. I just wanted a peppermint or something after lunch at work, so I went to get a roll out of the vending machine. There was only one type and the way the roll was turned, I couldn't see the name. I assumed a mint was a mint, so whatever. Not so much. They were "energy mints" with caffeine. I really wasn't looking for a caffeine kick just then, but I figured I'd try them since I didn't even know such a thing existed. The taste was horrible. Overpowering the hint of mint was the artificial sweetener. Blech! 
I think the aftertaste was even worse.
Why oh why does it seem to me that companies keep sticking artificial sweeteners in everything now? I don't want all that artificial crap; I'd rather just have the sugar. I know some folks can't have sugar for health reasons, but on the flip side, some folks can't have the artificial sweeteners either. It's just a personal choice for me to try not to ingest them, but my mom takes medication that specifically says she should not use certain sweeteners. Grocery shopping never used to be a problem as long as she stayed away from the "sugar free" aisle, but now there are so many different types of artificial sweeteners and brand names for them, that I have to read the ingredient labels on the foods for her to see if the companies have added them. It's not always obvious on the front of the packaging and it's a pain in the butt. Bring back sugar, dammit! 
and landed in your neck of the woods. Nice place you have here. Will visit again soon. Wishing you a spiffy Tuesday! 
Happy New Year AD. 
Merry Christmas, Francine.
