  who doesn't feel like working?
ME! I don't!

So instead, I will a) complain and b) give a Jen's fridge update.

a) the complaint.
Every day I wait for that fateful bus, yes, it's the #24. The same numeric digits as that show that stars another Bauer as well as the reference to the day's clock. I wish I could re-name this bus 15 or perhaps 20, which is the number of minutes I wait for it in the cold on the way to and from work. Or perhaps I should rename it the 124,363 bus - which is the number of times it "didn't come". Yes, the 24 has a mind of its own, choosing at ramdon when it will and wil not arrive to haul its passengers safely and soundly and warmly to their homes.
Perhaps it shold be renamed the #"5-card-draw" bus which is probably what the bus drivers are playing as we, the waiters freeze our malnourished (see part "b") patoots outside.
After discussing said dilemma with OOTG, she advised me to "Do something about it!". Well, here I am posting about it - and since this is an open-forum that anyone can read, I think I will slip the blog name onto the back of my bus ticket the next time I get on and let the driver KNOW how I feel. So there.

b) To fight the possibly induced by bad-eating-habits 24-waiting chills, I have been reading all about food. Food by blood type, food by metabolic type. Food by "hicky is driving us all crazy with the food talk" type. Turns out, Tim Hortons mocha and cream cheese bagel may not be the "best" choice of breakfast for me.
So, a few changes have been made. If you open my box of freshness we like to call the "fridge" you will find no delicacies, no "fun" food or any kind. But you can amuse yourselves with the array of strange and wondrous products such as :
1. Cod Liver Oil - yes, I have succummed. I am taking the ol' CLO that our forefathers once took, in disgust, every morning. (How DO they squeeze oil out of a liver anyway?)
Despite the jeers of "Cod Breath" by one Cuddles, I feel it is a wonderous and illuminating product. Packed with Vitamin D for those long winter nights, enriched with Iodine which also does good things (that I can't remember right now), and livened up with essence of Orange oil to mask the slimy, semi-nauseating fish taste - particularly interesting in liquid form. Down the Hatch! (with a Vitamin-C laced apple juice chaser - yummy!)
2. Hemp Hearts - labelled as "earth's most perfect food" Hemp Hearts are delicious in salads, a "nutty" addition to yoghurts, perfect for de-icing the front porch, can be used as a substitute for "fennel seeds" in some recipes, easily get wedged between even-the-tightest of teeth, and will dissolve, even in cold water!
3. Cocoa nibs - chocolate bean, unprocessed. Eat with caution, eat with raisins. This "bitter" little treat will leave you not wanting for more! It satisfies the strongest chocolate craving instantly - with one acrid, unsweetened bite! Apparently has some enournmous amounts of anti-oxidants within - so enjoy with caution or else your free radicals might explode from your body with the force of the C's manliness on the unsuspecting tag that attempted to cover it. i.e., watch out!
Ms.Ms is wondering - did she say cocoa? or koo-koo?

Yes folks - I KNOW. so please - don't SAY IT.
truth be told - I feel pretty darn good. no 3PM tired-es, no painful runs to the upstairs washroom at work and no outbursts of anger. OK? SO FUCK OFF!

*N.B. In addition to the above products, I also have a rotting brocolli in the crisper.
 
Comments:
oh man, i just had to clean up a puddle of pee that is on the floor (ie: from laghing so hard.)
as you told, i already was made aware of the tardy twenty-four. this was not news to me. nor is it news to me all this obsessy obsessing about food. (btw, hick had pizza and chips at my house last night, so don't go all tihnking that she's a nutritional angel in totality or anything. no, no, she's no angel alright.)
but i have to say what really caught my attention was the mention of cocoa nibs! yes! this was the best peice of info provided to my in your post! the nibs! you have them! you know where to find them. now you see, why am i so gleefuly gleed about this? for the c purchsed one "chocolate deserts" cookbook for me (certain to be part of someone's regime), and in it there is extensive talk about said nib! i was playing the role of the pessimist in thinking that, dang nab it, where was i going to find this item here in this our fine city. WELL I DIDN'T EVEN HAVE TO ASK THE QUESTION, and here it fluttered directly to my doorstep.
oh hickity hick, yes, perhaps you are an angel.

Glad you enjoyed the post and glad you posted it twice. I read it twice. I read it twice.

I have nibs, baby. Nibs-a-plenty. They are clostly, though and will therefore cost you.

Also - thanks for telling everyone about my time-of-weakness pizza and chips. Way to be supportive.
