Today almost went very, very bad... but only almost! I was starting to slide into one of my signature carb binges - 'oh man, I ate a starch, it doesn't matter, damn it all let's eat some toast* OH EM GEE YOU ATE WHITE BREAD EVERYTHING WE KNOW IS SHATTERED LET'S JUST EAT UNTIL WE ARE GUILTY AND HAVE A SORE STOMACH!'
(*This is also a bad idea because I am somewhat wheat-intolerant.)
But.
I managed not to! I did eat the toast, yes, but in the process of toasting another slice of bread to officially kick off bingeing season, I decided the toaster was making the dorm kitchen Too Freaking Hot (yeah, small kitchen) and threw open the windows. It was gusting and raining outside, and a blast of fresh wet air caught me full-on, buffeting against my chest and setting my hair wild.
I stepped back, looked at the toaster dispassionately, and then made myself a minor deity among the ever-ravenous teenage boy crowd by handing out free toast.
So I feel good. I started to lose it, saw what was going wrong, and talked myself out of it! Yay me.
