deckardcanineGave some much-valued O+ to the ARC today. Somehow I've been thirstier this time than in the past. It's not like I had more salt than usual. It made me feel a little guilty to drink two full cans of soda in one day and consider more. (I've heard said that soda is no thirst quencher because the metabolic processes override the benefits, but the ARC had soda for us, so I'm not so sure.)
Do I sound like a dietary health nut for that kind of guilt? Most who observe me eating for more than a mealtime think so, including my parents. But I tend to have supplementary reasons for healthy choices. For example, I avoided donuts for years not because of poor taste or nutrition (I could use a little more weight) but because they cast a day-long mental curse on me. I became a donut, and the hole was in my neurotransmission. I could barely work for the rest of the day. This streak broke one evening in college when I grabbed a donut almost without thinking. I still have the problem, but I'm braver now.
Now you must think I'm just a nut.
