1 sugar cube
3 tlbs of half and half
2 slices of turkey
1 slice of cheese
2 slices of white bread
1 tsp of mustard
1 serving of Pringles
2 bitesize Butterfingers
Unsweet tea
1 cup of cabbage and beef stew
Unsweet tea
3 beers

What have I learned today? I have learned that sometimes it is simply an ant bite. A small passing pain that is no symbol of a great issue or problem, but simply something that you are dealing with. Instead of staring at the ant bite all day long one is better served if just carry on with day to day life. Go do stuff- whatever it may be. Work, wandering, knitting…. whatever just don’t stare at the bite and wait for some big something to occur to you. If it is a bigger problem- it will occur again, but either way one is better off trying to cope with such things while you go about your normal existence…. and sometimes… maybe many times the pain passes and was nothing more than momentary.
