Junk food and your mood

Working from home - a blessing and a curse really.

I finished reading the manuscript I should have read at least a couple of weeks ago, and kind of wish I had, as it was very good. I really enjoyed it and would like to make an offer to publish, but it kind of depends on whether it is really suited to our list according to others. And if it is still available. I look over to my wine glass. I am out of alcohol. Well, not strictly so as I do have a bottle of Amaretto which is over two thirds full, so there is no need to panic, and even more importantly, no need to put trousers on, or shoes for that matter and walk to Tescos to replenish said alcohol supplies.

I haven’t really eaten properly today, for all my good intentions. It all started out really well – scrambled eggs on toast for brekkie, followed by fresh strawberries and yoghurt. For lunch I really went to town on my health kick and prepared a huge tuna salad with all the trimmings; olives, balsamic, cos lettuce, you name it, vine tomatoes, fresh pepper, red onion, etc.
...Found myself craving chocolate approx 35 mins later. I did go to Tescos and buy some chocolate, but also purchased some Japanese rice crackers, and some of those new oriental style crackers and, yes, it couldn’t be helped at this point, some of those babybel cheese things that come in the string bag – I had to have them. So - after my supremely healthy start, I opted to finish the day by consuming an entire box of crackers, followed by a family size bag of oriental crisp crackers thingies, washed down with a whole bottle of rose wine and topped off with two cheese things. Didn’t fancy the chocolate after all. Crazy or what? Or what indeed.
