Folks, it's Friday morning and I'm feeling chatty. Always wanted to start the thread in the morning cos that's when the rest of you start it, but the morning my time is still yesterday for everybody else so I've never done it. But today's the day and I'm pulling a prank. Come chat, even if it's Thursday for you. Or wait until Friday, at which point it will be Saturday for me.
Not sure how to talk about food or exercise though, given that it's too early to have done much and report back. Maybe everybody else plans ahead but I find schedules restrictive and prefer to go where my mood takes me. I think I will probably do some mild exercise later but not sure what. Food will include chicken tikka masala.
Also in the food department, yesterday I ate some pasta (gf obvs), just on its own. Having adopted a low carb diet last year for anti-inflammatory purposes I very rarely do this sort of thing, but I was feeling too lazy for proper cooking and wanted some comfort food. Usually if I'm feeling like that I might have eggs, but there seems to be some egg shortage and I can't find them anywhere. I am not super strict on the carbs - I still eat fruit, for instance, because that seems to be a happy balance between what my body likes and what my mouth likes - but I am picky about the types of carbs I eat, and refined ultraprocessed stuff like pasta is out. But I ate it anyway, and shortly afterwards I had a panic attack. Came out of nowhere, couldn't sit still or focus, and ended up frantically cleaning the house until I was exhausted. Still had some leftover pasta this morning, and thought a nice bowl of hot carbs might be a nice brekkie...and almost immediately afterwards felt (and still feel) very anxious and jittery. Shaky too. I have just enough pasta left for a 3rd bowl, but I think it might need to go in the bin.
Intersting how food affects you. I have a lot I need to do so hopefully this wears off quickly. Think I'd better skip any rice with the curry later.
Last thing. Tomorrow is Bubba Remembrance Day. I don't want to carry on too much; death is a very normal and natural process. Bubba had a good, long life, and he had gotten very old and decrepit. His was a best case scenario. But my god I miss that cat.
PPals Friday 7 February
