Warm Wiktory

[mrissa]

The furnace fella came and fixed the sparker. We will eventually need a new furnace, but today is not that day. I'm still wearing a flannel nightgown, leggings, wool socks, and my bathrobe over the whole shebang while the house warms up, but we were never in any danger of really severe discomfort; my folks' house is ten minutes away, and we knew they'd welcome all four housemammals for an hour or a day or whatever it took while the furnace was getting fixed.

I used up the last of the Godiva hot chocolate, which means I get to try a new kind of hot chocolate. I got a lot of hot chocolate for Christmas. This is not even slightly a complaint. I did have to force myself to make it and start drinking it, though once I'd started it went fine. It's not that the PT stuff nauseates me per se. It just makes food seem like a really terrible idea even when I'm hungry. So since I have to do this thrice daily, I think what I'll do is to schedule it right after I have a meal, so that the ick has maximum time to dissipate before I need another meal. That's the theory, anyway. We'll see how it goes in practice.

The sadness involved with being allergic to lowfat milk is pretty much summed up by the fact that I can't drink hot chocolate mixes.

(and like most of the rest of my sadness, it's avoided by...making my own hot chocolate from scratch. Oh, the woe!)

Several of the hot chocolate items I have are not made with milk. They're dark chocolate drops that you put into milk, or cocoa and spices that you put into milk, or etc.

Yes, they do exist, it's just--I'd have to buy them myself, because I don't exactly trust others not to buy things I can't eat. And when I have to buy things for myself, my laziness kicks in, and I say, "but I've got a whole thing of cocoa and sugar at home..."

My mom homemade hot chocolate from dark chocolate and cream at Christmas. Well, and Bailey's. It was so very fine.

Severe discomfort? How utterly unpleasant! *fans self* I thought this was a family LJ!

Wiktory congratulations!

And your PT timing strategy sounds like a good one.

Large good wishes sent, also.

Glad to hear it; I trust your judgment on these things.
