Tomorrow morning is going to suck

I have a chiropractor's appointment at 7:00 am, which I've needed since.... depends on what body part I'm thinking of. I've had scoliosis since I was 9 (runs in the family), TMJ since I was 11, and last October, I seriously messed up one of my feet - so back, jaw, and feet. I was lucky enough to get a 90% discount on a $200 evaluation - that's right, I paid only twenty buccaroos. However, I was under the impression that the clinic was somewhere on the street that Macalester is located - within reasonable early morning biking distance. Since I wake up early anyway, the 7:00 appointment sounded perfect.

I was sadly mistaken.

Its about 5 miles away, which distance-wise is reasonable, biking-wise is not (no bike paths, crossing highways, etc.).

What does this mean? Tomorrow, I get to stand on a corner and catch a bus at 6:02 in the morning.

I'm excited.

NOT.

I am looking forward to the evaluation though - if anything, I should get a massage out of it. :)


Many people have asked me where I am getting my comics from - I find them on nataliedee.com. Also - Emily from Healthy and Sane said they would be good on T-Shirts. Emily, you're in luck! The site has a shop with all sorts of shirts, from nataliedee and a few other comics that are pretty fantastic (Toothpaste for Dinner, Married to the Sea, etc.). Check it out!

A review (or 2!)

I'm sorry for the lack of photograph... Its hard to take pictures at work when I'm surrounded by people!

For whatever reason, I had high hopes for this bar, and for the first time I can think of, Clif didn't meet them. This had plenty of spices, and tasted good enough, but for whatever reason, it just didn't grab me. Thinking about it now, I'm pretty sure it was due to the blend of spices - it was far too 'fall' to eat in the summer! I'll try it again when the leaves start to turn!

This bar has more fat (6g) and less protein (8g) than most of the Luna Bars, but its the only one of the chocolatey bars that doesn't have a strange flavor in my opinion. The caramel top is not overly sweet, and the combination of chocolate, caramel, and nuts really hit the spot. I can see this becoming a dessert in the future - it was pretty rich, and I can't see it (or rather taste) it going well with much else (perhaps solo in oats or something, but not paired with any stronger flavors).

Mmmkay. Time to pull my laundry out of the dryer and hit the sheets. Early wake up call!

Love you all,
Emma
