Long brutal day and pressed for time, so I’m using one of my traditional safety entries, which is to share my current, seasonal wallpaper, downloaded from DesktopNexus.
In keeping with the theme of simplicity, chocolate balls are today’s candy. Like their Christmas and Easter counterparts, they’re wrapped in foil. One thing I remember about them is that sometimes part of the foil was actually in the chocolate, like the chocolate began to melt and then hardened around the edge of the foil.
A little housekeeping: I’m turning anonymous commenting back off. I think the way this comment system is set up, it’s not intuitive that you have to manually type in your name, etc. if you are not logged in on WordPress. This will force you to do that or it won’t take the comment. Sorry about that, but anonymous comments irritate me, even if they are unintentional.
A big housekeeping: We have a bit of a spider problem in my building.
And now for today’s candy: Whoppers! (Just like some of those spiders, heh.) These are malted milk balls. They have a nice crispy kind of crunch to them, unless you get a bad one. The bad ones are unexpectedly soft and chewy and a form of grossness unto themselves.
I’ve been bit achy in my back, low in mood, and brutally, mercilessly tired. I had my physical on Friday and this is my Vitamin D level.
Well, DUH! Of course I’m deficient. I mean, look at me. Do I LOOK like I play in the sun? (Please pardon the Bitmoji. I can’t take a selfie in the mirror for obvious reasons. You know, no reflection?)
So now I have to take these fancy prescription Vitamin D pills once a week for two months. The things you have to deal with when you’re of the night, really. Best part is, I can daywalk. I mean, I hate it and all, but I can and do. I also wear a silver ring and silver earrings. They cause kind of a low-grade systemic burn that, while annoying, darkens my skin enough to allow me to pass as human. A pasty human, but a human.
And now for today’s candy, Sugar Daddy! This sticky monstrosity is nothing more than a blob of hardened milk caramel, and it’s probably responsible for several cavities I got as a kid. A human kid, I mean. Tasted good, though.
