Things I forgot to mention yesterday, as well as today:

The poke count stands at 11. It really only needed to be 10 except that even though I don't have much, my blood coagulates just fine and walking away for ten minutes to get a label for the blood tube doesn't stop the blood from coagulating. They need 2 cc to test my blood-iron-count. It's far too low, so they proscribed some iron pills and told me to eat more meat :D Yes, cows!

On the other hand, I seem to be going into huge energy burn. I mean huge. I'm burning fat like nobody's business, which makes my mouth taste terrible even if I don't sleep, and when I do sleep . . . :P nasty! Eating carbs helps cut down on the bad taste, but I don't think it's going to really stop until my marrow if fully replaced.

To recap: I slept from 8 to 10, 10 to 11, 11 to 2.30, 2.30 to 3.30, and 4 to 8 yesterday. Then I went to sleep at 10ish. And woke up at 10ish today. We went to get the Best Sushi Evar (TM), which i acquired from a tiny little strip-mall sushi-ya in Holland. It's spicy, it crunches, the wasabi cleared my sinuses and the ginger and tea helped my throat. We finished eating around 1.

I went back to sleep until 3.00. And now I'm kind of tired again. I think my body has caught on to the "I needs to heal up" thing just a bit.

My stomach also seems to have shrunk, given that I get nauseous and then bloaty if I eat about half of what I normally eat. I have two options, which are to work to keep my stomach small and shrunken, or eat like I normally do and allow my stomach to grow again. I'ma try and keep it small, because that plus the huge energy burn I seem to be going through might actually drop some pounds. I hope.

I get out of cooking foods this week. Yay.

I have a crick in my neck. And I want cuddles. Which I have a family willing to give, only it physically hurts to receive them. E-cuddles?

Pr0n is not forthcoming when all free time is spent doing psychic readings for a friend, her toddler, and the kid she's pregnant with while at work under the guise of "just visiting" so when the fundamentalist christian husband came in he wouldn't try to punish her by slapping the pregnant belly.

Earliest possible pr0n from me might be next week.

You know, you don't have to if you don't want to. I was just making a general request/prod.

I have to say this.

Dude, no fair. Your burning fat to create tissues like nobody's business. Then why is it I'm creating tissues like nobody's business but instead of burning fat I'm sucking out all my blood sugar then kind of lying there like an ill blob?

I don't know. Maybe it has to do with the tissue type. I'm making mostly bone marrow and some actual bone, and you're making . . . everything. Or it could just be genetics. When I'm a gengineer and do this for a living, I'll make a skinny pill that will induce everyone to burn fat instead of sugar . . .

I'm making a parasite, that's what I'm making.

And it seems weird that I'm craving so much sugar when it's phospholipids and amino acids that I should be craving most. Sugar is just the energy used to put them together.

And my nutrients! All my sweet nutrients are being sucked out of meeee...

Well, if you already have the lipids and AAs, then this is just your body moving them around a bit . . .

I just had a thought in Incredibly Bad Taste. IM me later if you want to hear it.

Take some vitamin supplements. They might help.

Somehow, though, I think I'd prefer to keep my muscle cells intact. I like my amino acids where I put them.

Vitamin supplements never help. I have not since I was 10 been able to take supplements without getting sick. They're too concentrated.

bad taste?

I don't think it cares.

Oh, ick. Iunno, target your diet for vitamin-foods? I mean, oranges and broccoli and such . . .

Very.

<.< >.> It would be useful if Pet and I had jobs for the affording of nutrient-rich foods. Or for foods in general.
