Diet

Teaching very detrimental to nutrition. In morning wake up nervous about class and eat 2 piece of toast slatered thick with peanut butter (organic) and apricot-lime jam. For lunch have left over kale and three slices of sharp cheddar cheese. Make discovery that slicing cheese very thin renders it more delicious and so have another 50 slices to see if theory holds true. It does. Make firm plan with self to eat only fruit for mid-afternoon snack. Plan derailed when am coming back from library, crossing washington square park, and am drawn by supernatural force to Hot Dog stand. In crisp voice ask for A Hot Dog with Mustard and Sauerkraut, please. The vendor replies, would you like a Jumbo or a regular. Am tempted by Jumbo but refrain and am very proud of self for restraint. Purchase and consume pathetically small hot dog in four bites. Before class, for dinner have slice of pizza. At time, think that pizza practically healthy--this version has slices of red onion and bell pepper pieces. (Note: Never eat such pungent things right before class again. Does not help with the nerves when forced to try to talk without exhaling and causes horror that students will talk about their teacher who has Onion breath, recalling memory of utter disdain felt by myself and classmates for math teacher in 8th grade, Mr. Mushkin, who had a dandruff problem. Second note: purchase tea tree oil shampoo.) After class go home. Dave asks Are you hungry? No I am not. Nevertheless, sit self down on couch with hunk of cheese, knife, large bag of yellow corn chips and half bottle of wine. When go to bed, tell self that Tomorrow is Another Day.
