I hate getting old

So last night I think I ate too much – and this morning my stomach let me know. I was just being a teensy bit greedy – and trying to eat up leftovers. I had a grilled cheese & tomato sandwich that was on the large side – the packaged ww bread where the slices are 110 calories, bigger than regular bread. With pickled onions, Tillamook cheddar, and the one funny looking little tomato from the batch of slicers from Naomi’s garden, that she gave me Sunday. It was a funny little tomato, but it was homegrown, and man was it good. Like the Guy Clark song – I also ate some of the leftover potatoes from Sunday brunch, a mix of sweet, purple, red, and cute little birds-egg size yellow ones. Now comes the greedy part – there was a cup of vanilla pudding left in the fridge – again sort of a larger serving – probably 2/3 cup instead of the more normal 1/2 cup – and I ate that too. It went down OK, but then I felt too full for the rest of the night.

The stomach discomfort is almost as disturbing – but not quite – as the pain I’ve been having in the arch of my left foot. I’m afraid it’s cancer – I had a melanoma on that leg in 2001 – but the pain responds well to Advil, so I think it must be bad shoes and standing. On Friday night I came home a little tipsy from a dinner at Naomi’s (she forgot to give me the tomatoes then, so I got them from her on Sunday), and spent $250 online on two gel mats, one for home and one for work.
