The day is the same number of minutes but I am trying to stuff lots more things into them so time is getting all strange on me. A week from Saturday the one act play competition will be done and my life will get less stressful.  Today I had beans and flour tortillas for lunch, and a black bean burger on very tasteless not quite bread stuff.  Also had lots of potato chips for no good reason.  I have a complicated relationship with salt--it makes me feel horrible the next day and is very very bad for my blood pressure  but the swelling makes my back less painful for a while because extra fluid in my tissues takes the pressure off my spinal cord.
