Beginning again, with two cinnamon dishes

Two iced Pillsbury cinnamon buns in the car ride from Longwood Drive to the Shirley commuter rail station, with a can of diet Mountain Dew (followed by immediate cardiac arrest, or nearly). At work, a slice of cheesecake around 2 PM, courtesy Sassan's wife's aunt. Then a round piece of chocolate flavored with orange bits, from England I'm told by the Dean that offered it from the package when he passed by my desk. Perhaps three-quarters of a liter of Diet Pepsi during work on the Core journal, with student editors hovering around me. Dinner was Taco Bell: a "$5 box" with a hard taco, a cheesy, greasy burrito, and some kind of two-ply taco consisting of hard taco wrapped in refried beans, frijoles refritos, and a flour tortilla. Also a paper sack of cinnamon twists, a bite of J.'s chicken burrito, and a cup of Diet Pepsi. A day without vegetables; sigh.
