I made the dough for my ruby chocolate cookies for Valentine's Day today. Will freeze until Saturday.

Age verification? My first use of the internet was with a bulletin board system.
Age verification? My first console was an Atari 2600.
Age verification? I recorded my voice on a cassette player.

I saw a potential writerly opportunity on Threads, so I (reluctantly) joined. Hopefully, it'll pay off. www.threads.com/@heroesgetmade

Buying your own anchovies and putting them on a delivery or to-go caesar salad... game changer.

(Not my pic, but damn close to what it looked like.)

I'm having a horrible headache, possibly a migraine, and I'm only allowed to take Tylenol, which is not helping at all. This has been going on all day. UGH

I've been trying not to order food for delivery, both to save money and avoid extra calories. Today, though, I did not sleep well, and I'm in a lot of pain. I simply don't have the energy to prepare food for myself right now. So, I got some Vietnamese summer rolls.

Can't sleep. Been having nightmares the last two nights. I'm hoping it's hormonal and not a return to having nightmares every night due to PTSD. I don't think I can handle that again.

I had a small slice of my cake despite my restrictive diet. Couldn't help it. Though there was plenty of sugar in it, the cake did not taste terribly sweet because of the espresso powder I added to the batter. It was a hit, though, and I'm very proud of it!

Chocolate-covered strawberry bundt cake with vanilla glaze and freeze-dried strawberries

Stomach problems heightened today. Not a flare, but pretty bad nonetheless. Gonna miss brunch with my in-laws this morning. Hopefully, I'll make it to the Superbowl party tonight.

Not sure, but I had a cake (which features the first edition cover)

Just found out that my husband received a cinnamon roll at work. He had a few bites and THREW AWAY THE MIDDLE. Who is this man I married? I can't have sugar, but this dude throws away the best part of the greatest cinnamon pastry known to humankind!

Watching figure skating. Stephen Gogolev, a Canadian figure skater, had the coolest outfit I've seen on a man in the sport. It looks like a black suit, complete with a jacket, vest, and even a pocket watch chain. Love to see it. I'm rooting for Ilia, though, because he's from my area.

It's so cold that we made a fire!

Easy and healthy homemade street corn substitute

Drain and heat up the corn in the microwave. Add cheese and Tajin to taste. Optional: add mayo.

Delicious!

Recommend an Alien movie 👽 🖤

My pick: Dark Skies (2013)

A genuinely terrifying movie

Been scrubbing pans, wooden utensils, and stubborn mugs the last two days. Stuff that either didn't get clean in the dishwasher, couldn't go in the dishwasher, or needed extra attention. The only thing left is a giant plastic container that once held cookies. I might wait until tomorrow for that.

Loot that drops from me after you defeat me:

1. A signed copy of one of my books
2. Homemade cookies
3. A random Springsteen CD
4. A bottle of Tajin
5. A scattering of antidepressants

I found these "diet" dark chocolate coconut cups online. They have only 3 grams of sugar (80 calories) per cup and taste like better Mounds bars. The only problem is that I want to eat the whole bag in one sitting lol

With the help of therapy and antidepressants, my PTSD is not really acting up rn. My stomach is the best it's been in 20 years. I haven't been drinking alcohol. I've never been addicted to it imo, but I overused it sometimes. No longer. I don't need or really want it. My liver is happier lol
