We ended up not doing anything for Valentine's Day yesterday, so Scott bought a bunch of stuff on his way home today. I had to laugh because Cordelia goes back and forth about whether or not she likes chocolate. Sometimes, she really does, and other times, she really doesn't.

I have an appointment tomorrow morning. I'm probably taking a cab there and then the bus home. Well, the bus to downtown to home. I'm not going to be able to take the direct bus because I don't want to risk not making it up the hill from the stop. If I take the bus into town, I might stop for lunch. I also might not.

I sympathise with Cordelia on chocolate. I was about twelve when I declared I didn't eat it, it was horrid, and I wouldn't eat anything chocolate flavoured. And I would have been about 15 when someone gave me a piece of good dark chocolate, and it was a revelation. I still hated anything chocolate flavoured for years, wouldn't eat chocolate cake or ice-cream, but slowly came to accept some of them because they aren't chocolate, but cocoa.

I'm still picky about chocolate, but I'll eat any of it even if it is too sweet/milky/powdery/etc, if there isn't any I like, because I've managed to develop an emotional dependence on it.

Cordelia isn't enthusiastic about good chocolate, either. She likes chocolate ice cream at least sometimes, even the cheap stuff.

My best guess is that she finds chocolate kind of challenging when anxiety is giving her tummy trouble.

People, huh.

I find chocolate kind of soothing when my tummy is upset, but I think it is because high fat foods are more likely to be soothing, even though the sugar is problematic. And it means I need to eat less to have had enough kJ, although that is less useful these days, as middle-aged spread hits.
