time check

So I'm just sitting here, eating a protein bar, waiting to crack open one of my two (usually lori and michael ration me three diet cokes a day after I do all my chores...please don't ask me how old I am) available diet cokes in the giant tupperware next to my bed.

This is a system I developed yesterday in order to minimize time spent risking potential contact with family members and other uncontrolled beings with no sense of boundaries - I fill the giant tupperware with ice and a little water (added the water after my dad hovered over me and told me how to keep my drinks colder...ironic because of the purpose of the exercise..as much to keep from being told what to do all the time as to actually keep my cokes at the optimal coldness temperature) and keep my three daily diet cokes inside this economically and environmentally sound cooling device.


I was pretty impressed with myself until I tried to make too much of a good thing and cool my aching eyes- probably from looking at this screen too much - with a nice cold can of diet coke. Needless to say, I managed to get diet coke in my eye. Still, it is my favorite beverage, so it could have been worse.
