Thursday, February 26, 2004 Me, Me, Me

Is it possible to have a chocolate hangover?? I kicked my candy habit over Christmas, and so had been largely “clean” for two months, but I went to Walgreens and bought several bags of Kisses and plain and peanut M&Ms when yesterday got the best of me and (and of my co-workers, who came running like little kitties who hear the jangling in the food bowl). The pace in our department was frantic--we are trying to produce the docket for the board meeting in Mexico next week (gee, no logistical challenges there), and are scrambling to meet the tax return deadlines, AND it was a regular payment day. So, I sat at my computer for much of the day, popping M&Ms and washing them down with coffee.

Today, I feel like I’ve been run over by a truck. I have a headache and generally feel cranky and crotchety, and my skin feels weird, and my muscles ache, though not in a flu-ey sense. Mostly, I am CRABBY! Aaarrrggghh. Am resolved to stay off the stuff. Honestly. Will shut my door so I can’t even see it, or hear others rummaging around and making that little clicky-clacky sound, or hear the uwrapping of the foil Kisses… [sound of door slamming and overhead lights going off]
