Notes

[serene]

1) Mom's home and already overexerting herself. Ah, well, she's a grown
woman, and if she ends up back in the hospital, it will be its own
punishment.

2) I told folks I'd be mailing books on Tuesday. Well, um, Tuesday's a US
holiday. Make that Wednesday, please.

3) Luna Bars. Really? People EAT those? That may be the foulest thing I've
put into my mouth in months.

4) someotherguy is making pizza again tonight, so that will get
the taste of the icky Luna Bars out of my mouth.

5) The Alison Bechdel thing at Cal is tomorrow at 4. Anyone up for it?

Oh, that's interesting. I've heard that about Gatorade, but it's so damned yucky to me that I've never reached for it when I'm really thirsty, preferring to grab some water. Since I can't think of anything in Luna Bars that I can't get from food and water, I think I'll pass. :-)

IMHO, the gulf between the best Luna/Clif bar flavours (reasonably tasty) and the worst ones (horrid) is pretty wide. I never used to be bothered with them either, but have since found a handful that I like.

As for Gatorade, it always tastes to me like it should be cut half for half with water, and other brands of sport drink are even more sickly. The folks that make the stuff must be listening, because their "Gatorade Rain" flavours pretty much taste like watered-down ordinary Gatorade.

Gatorade isn't tasty if you are just very thirsty. It's more when you are so dehydrated that your heart rate is 135 and you're shaking all over.

Luna bars are portable and useful after a fasting blood draw or something, if one's blood sugar is a little touchy. But a banana might work as well. It's just that when I try to travel with bananas they get squished.
