Salt poisoning...

Sunday my sister and family came down. We had pizza, which means salt. My brother-in-law popped the case on my computer and swapped out the two 512MB memory sticks for four 1GB memory sticks. The computer no longer hangs up on things and I am happy.

I gave the niblings money to go buy snackies, and they left half a bag of nacho cheese Doritos behind them. Which I ate last night after dinner.

So....two days of much salt and I feel like 10 lb of sausage stuffed in a 5 lb casing. Today, though, has been a largely salt-free day.

Three picking fingernails broke over the past four days. Also, I am now flirting with a deadline for a baby blanket. If the recipient delivers early I am up the creek unless I defer callus maintenance for a little while. I hope a few minutes every couple of days will keep me from losing them completely.

Two more days of punishing heat, then Hurricane Earl, and then it should be cooler.
