my brother's getting married today, and i'm the best man. that's my excuse.
my other excuse is that i have a large herniated disc (L5S1) that will probably require surgery next week. i have some wonderful medications, but it has been difficult to be surrounded by so much excitement and love and be limited--mobility-wise. But i'm UNLIMITED happiness-wise, and i'm trying my best to just go with that.
those are some good friggin excuses no?
Here's some things that have happened. Yesterday there was a "clam bake." I didn't know it til day of, but apparently clam bakes include lobster. and clams. and a hot dog, corn-on the cob, sausage, yam, and potato.
the feast
dinner for ONE!
One of the drugs im on for this back injury is a steroid. One side effect of the steroids, for me, has been a huge appetite. Not only did i house that whole platter minus the potato (by the time i finished wondering if i should eat the hot dog, i had already eaten the hot dog), but i went back for a 2nd lobster. Oh, i friggin LOVE lobster. Like, birthday meal love.
And cause it was my brother's wedding, and i was the best man, i ate a 3rd friggin lobstah!!!!
lobster 3: A good day to die
And, as i told my brother at the end of the night, anyday, ANYDAY that you get to eat 3 lobster, is a pretty good friggin day.
Steroids make me crazy hungry, too....along with being unable to sleep and extremely irritable. Nothing like a sleepy, starving, irritable Melissa... hopefully you're just reaping the benefits of being able to eat 3 lobstahs -- super jeal! :) Mazel tov to the Zimbler family today!
