    The fact that I can't see myself growing old. I can't picture me being around to see my kids grow up. I don't even see myself a year from now. It's interesting to me. That's what's on my mind.

    Are you able to visualize an image in your head? My fiance got frustrated with me one day when I lost something, he told me to close my eyes and visualize where I left it. I can't do that. I started asking friends if they are able to imagine something in their head and "see" it, and they all said yes. I always assumed it was just a thing people said, not something that was literal. I've always been baffled by this concept. I can't close my eyes and picture anything. I did research on it and it's called "aphantasia". It's interesting to read about.

    That's just it, I cannot visualize it. I try and I draw a blank.... like It's not going to happen and that's why I can't see it. Didn't know there was a term for it. Hmm.... I'll have to look that up.

    I used to say the exact same thing. I would worry that I couldn't picture my future because it wasn't there. Don't believe that, though. <3

    Same
    I just figured I'd die young.
    I'll have to look it up too.

    Try closing your eyes and remembering a special day or conversation you had face to face.

    I wonder if anyone else was pretty upset when they reached puberty and didn't develop mutant powers. Darn you, X-Men!

    I wish whole foods published better nutritional information for their hot-bar food.

    I wish Whole Foods didn't take the grody leftovers from the hot bar at the end of the business day, refrigerate them, reheat them and put them back on the hot bar the next day. And keep charging a thousand dollars a pound for them.

    nah, i'm ok with that.

    also, it's $12.99 a pound. at least here, that's the same price as my office cafeteria and the food is WAAAAY better.

    What’s on my mind:

    The threads are moving too fast, I can’t keep up. I may never catch up, and all my hopes and dreams of having inside jokes with the gang will be dashed.

    There is no way to keep up! Why do you think I haven't posted a selfie in a while? I can't stalk MFP forums in the shower.

    I need a real bad bout of dysentery so I can catch up. I’d even settle for a little cholera or smallpox. I need to get back in the habit of licking doorknobs.

    Doc got my bloodwork back today. Apparently I'm Vitamin D deficient, and something leads her to believe that my lower back pain may be caused by something called ankylosing spondylitis. So now I'm supposed to start taking a bunch of Vitamin D and consider going full AIP Paleo for a while. Because the universe just can't leave well enough alone and let me enjoy the weight I've lost without kicking me in the nuts some other way.

    Im sorry .. :(

    Come visit me! We can go skinny dipping in the toxic blue-green algae infested waters and get a bad case of gastroenteritis. That may be easier to contract than cholera and smallpox.

    I really had my hopes set on two weeks of oozy blisters. I mean that’s lots of downtime. But sure, 5 days of vomiting should work too.

    I'd still shoot for dysentery. You know how hard it is to use your phone while vomiting?

    Try closing your eyes and remembering a special day or conversation you had face to face.

    I can remember bits and pieces but it's not something I can "see". Like if someone said to close my eyes and visualize @kinetixtrainer2 's wink gif, I wouldn't be able to replay it in my head. It's a sad, sad world.

    That's sad, because I'll never forget it.

    I love you! I made that for you baby. Lol

    Can’t be as hard as using my phone while I’m talking to a client.

    I'll tell you what... I'm not stoked for oatmeal poop. I think I need to get more than Jeopardy and Shuffleboard outta this deal.

    If this is part of that deal we may need to push this forward a few decades. :D
