I have not one serious thing to think about tonight.

Honestly, if I have to contemplate another political advertisement or deal with the pros and cons of any controversy, I may have to bang my head against a wall.

Today has been about food that's not good for me--

--Yes, I will pay dearly, but-- don't judge me!!--

and a "Gilmore Girls" marathon.

Back in the day when this show was on television, I was working and going to school. I recently read that there is going to be a revival show on Netflix and I thought I might want to check that out. But, of course, not without checking out the original show. That would be confusing!

Anyway, I've been watching this show for a few weeks, and it has been kind of fun. I'm not a rom-com type, and this show loosely fits that genre, but it's just quirky enough to make it work for me. I think it's because the main characters remind me of people I know. And it kind of makes me wish I lived in an area like the town where they live.

It's funny, because I think my hometown probably has some of the same characteristics as this fictional place, and I never experienced those things because I always hid away somewhere with a book and let things pass me by. Or I was busy with babies or busy with work.

I'm about to take a trip home to see my family, and I think I am going to investigate all the goings on in my hometown and see what I may have been missing.

Tomorrow is all liquids all day, because we will be traveling on Friday, and I don't want to get sick.

I hate having to think about things like this. I just want to be able to eat what I want.

I don't think that's ever going to be possible again.

On the plus side, I am growing fond of Cream of Wheat. It's just hard to find! Why is it so darned hard to find?

Oatmeal is everywhere. Whole shelves of oatmeal; instant oatmeal, oatmeal with fruit, oatmeal with nuts, steel cut, instant cups, oatmeal everywhere.

Where the heck is the Cream of Wheat?

It's so funny to me that when I shop now I think about stocking up on Cream of Wheat in case the next time I shop I can't find it.

You know what else is hard to find? Popsicles. I can find packages with cherry, orange and grape, but what I want are the packages with banana, lime and root beer. I can find them about one time in ten. Since popsicles are something I'm allowed to eat, I think it's only fair that I get the flavors I want.

So what's up with that?

At least the other things are pretty easy to find. My diet plan is so exciting.

Off to bed.
