So Day Eight...no coincidence AT ALL that the craziest day so far in this journey of mine happened on Day Eight.......Crazy Eight...I always hated that card game as a kid but this isn't about a card game. I had to go to court today..I have been fighting a "crazy couple" for a number of years now...I am currently protected (well as much as a piece of paper can protect you) from these people with a stalking petition which ends in two months...and today I had to go to court to deal with yet another one of their attempts to deflect their "cuckoo for cocoa puffs' nature on me. Although I was pretty sure the judge would see things from my perspective I was still very anxious (read panicky) about the hearing. I do not like being near them, looking at them, thinking about them, or even contemplating their existence on the planet. But contemplate I did, all night long and all morning as I prepared for the hearing, went to Crossfit, showered, and ate...oh wait...I didn't actually eat....and by actually I mean nothing went into my stomach except some Pepto Bismal (pretty sure not Paleo) some coffee (not much) and a protein smoothie...(forced down my throat)...no problem with cheating today...I was not eating.
After the hearing, which went well by the way, even though I was treated to an hour of listening to them insult and belittle me, I was ravenous...but alas I had NO TIME to cook(surprise surprise) so I did my usual wolf down anything that was a vegetable, cheese, fruit, or meat. Fortunately for me I had all of these remnants in my fridge...there was no rhyme or reason to my choices, a green pepper, some carrots, swiss cheese, a glass of milk, a banana, some nuts...I didn't care....as I completed my gymnastics class and pondered my evening I realised that I had TWO hours before I had to get Molly and Gracie...Sooooooo...I went to Cheers. I ordered a giant chopped salad and some steak tips. It was heaven...and there was nothing crazy about it...I also ordered a Pumpkinhead Ale...yup...I cheated...I had a beer...(two actually) and I licked ALL of the cinnamon off the rim of both glasses...(I am sure I looked like someone out on a three hour pass but I didn't care)... I relaxed...enjoyed the peace and quiet...and well...relaxed....
As I wind up this short summation...(I want to forget this day) I will say that after a long time of drinking..the beer didn't really sit well...I would like to blame it on the steak but we ALL know that it isn't the case...the sugar in the beer made it difficult to fall asleep...(read up all night) but I have moved on....the Honey Bun rests peacefully on my kitchen counter and day nine fast approaches...so why live in the past??? It's Allllllllll good...(even when it isn't!)
