stomache rumblings

A few prebreakfast words from here at Happy Acres since I have nothing else better to do while waiting for them to feed me. You people are going to get as tired of my ass as the wardens here but at least you will be able to shut me off. Waiting for breakfast and the stomache is growling. Food here, at least the menu items, is crap and for a place so worried about whether you take a healthy dump they don't even give you enough to take one. Considering the quality I don't know whether to consider that a good thing or not. have heard that if you do a write in ballot they will try to accomodate you out of the snack bar but as I'm on some kind of restricted diet don't know if that will work for me. i did get them to find me some raw onion for sandwich yesterday and got a second bowl of soup for dinner that I asked for but don't know if they'll bring up the pizza if I write it in. One of my visitors had a slice and said it was pretty good. At least the coffee is Wawa. Surviving mainly on a Wawa Italian foot long with hot peppers a co worker smuggled in the other day and a piece of shoo fly pie my father brought by. Don't think the dietician would have approved but what the hell, been behaving for the most part and eating their gunk for a week now. Don't think much of the dietician anyway. You think it would be impossible to screw up something as simple as cold cereal but they have found a way to do it. I keep ordering some whole grain cereal for breakfast, something I normally eat anyway and, until recently, they kept sending up some kind of flaccid eggbeater crap with a biscuit or bagel, not even a onion one with a schmeer. Now I'm sure the eggs are those laboratory concocted healthy slop but since when is something made with white flour better for you than whole grains. Sheesh, do I have to teach these people their jobs. Keep thinking that when I get out of here tho I need to make a trip to Pumpernick's in Montgomeryville for a pastrami reuben with a big onion slice and some carrot cake . So much for healthy.

Ok, breakfast arrived so we took a break, Mostly got it right this moning tho they forgot the coffee. The orderly even found me some extra cereal. She's a queen. Now I have to sit here for another half hour or so until they bring in the schedule. They say weekends are slow but I know at least two of the therapists are in today and I'm scheduled for at least one of them so the day won't be a total waste. I know, I'm repeating myself, Live with it.

Just got my schedule. Good news and bad news. Good news, they must want me out of here. Instead of slow my schedule is busier than yesterdahy. Bad news, they got me in the 3-3:30 slot this afternoon and my poker game on Tilt is set for 3. Timing still sux. Should have known. Ah well, I'll take it, better the busier schedule.

Time to head out for therapy so I'll say adios for now. See how I feel after all the work.

Well now !

Besides Al, Riggs, Evy, Big Mike and The Tyler James Pub, it seems you've given me another reason to head back down to PA !

I think I just might have to join you for one of those trips to Pumpernick's in Montgomeryville for a pastrami reuben with a big onion slice and some carrot cake.

Well OK, you can have my carrot cake but, STOP looking at my sandwich like that!

;)
