(e:hodown) just arrived in town tonight. After the airport, we headed down to pianos for dinner. I swear it keeps getting fancier. I got the Lamb which had a nice marrow bone. I found myself craving marrow a lot recently - wonder what that's about

The annoying fucking church next store hired a plow to plow "their driveway" and lawn. I doubt its legal to drive a truck a half a block down the sidewalk or to plow the lawn.

When he left, he left a two foot high wall of snow across the street. I imagine thats not allowed either. He ended up plowing in the poor girl parked across the road who had to shovel herself out the next morning. They also throw a ton of snow on our driveway when they do this. I spend like two hours shoveling it all back onto their side by hand.

The other day part of my tongue decided to attack itself again. The doctor had said it looked like geographic tongue when I went a couple months back.

Of course its just another disease with no known cause or cure and yet another form of my body attacking itself like the crohns. Interestingly, I read this specific condition could be a vitamin deficiency caused by the crohn's. It's weird because I haven't really had any crohn's symptoms since my appendix came out like three years ago.

This week it hurt a bunch so I went to the doctor again today. Before I left, I looked it up online and found a great article about geographic tongue. Then I scrolled to the top and saw it was a freakin AIDS information site!!!

This of course made me totally paranoid. Luckily, it just happened that today was also free instant AIDS testing downtown. Really, there is no reason for me to have AIDS but I figured better know for sure as the last time I was tested was 1999 and there were some sketchy years in the early 2000s.

It came back negative but I am still concerned for my tongue's future although peroxide and tongue scraper seems to be helping.

The whole thing really blows my mind because I could not possibly eat healthier food. I blame it on flossing. I never had trouble before I started flossing every day as the dentist suggested.

I am obsessed with veggie, meet, and noodle bowls now. I have been eating them everyday. Small portions of each thing but lots of flavors. This one had some beef slices, four clams, an egg, Swiss Chard, peas, and carrots in a lemongrass broth.

The nice part is that it only tale like 5 minutes to make too and the noodles are cheap when you buy them in a big package.

I love going to the buffalo botanical gardens on a sunny winter day. Its so nice to feel the rays on your face in the Cactus room and the humidity in the rest of it.

I signed up for another membership last time. I gotta get back soon because the ponderosa lemon tree is starting to blume. I think that might be my favorite smell in the world.
