Boys are sweet

I'm in the office today, though it was pointed out that it was probably not the wisest thing I could have done lately.

See the headache that I have been fighting all weekend (which more or less had me in bed all day yesterday) is still really raging. I can only see vague shapes out of my right eye, what I can see has trails and light hurts really bad right now. I also have a dull buzzing in my ears and am slightly nauseous. Yes, I have a full blown migraine going.

But I don't want to burn sick time this early in the year when for me I know I'm going to need it come fall/winter. So I'm sitting here at work, with as much light off as I can without effecting my co-workers and wearing my sunglasses.

Now, because of what happened to Aasiya, every boy as they come in has looked at me and asked if I was ok and how my weekend was. I have had to lift the shades to show them that no, I don't have any black eyes and that all I have is a migraine.

The concern in each of their faces and voices was rather touching.

the yogurt saga

I'm lactose intolerant. Fact.

One of the ways I can get dairy into my diet is yogurt. There is something about the cultures in it that allows me to tolerate the dairy.

I hate yogurt taste. Fact.

When I started WW ages ago, I found that I actually liked the diet stuff. Specifically the WW brand and Dannon lite and fit. Both are made with sucralose. This is good as I am allergic to asparthame.

I tended to favor Dannon for two reasons. 1) cheaper than WW by upwards of 30 cents. 2) they have more flavors available.

Not too long ago Dannon changed their recipe to have BOTH sucralose AND asparthame. So yesterday I finally broke down and wrote to Dannon about my disappointment and how they have lost a loyal customer because of the change.

Here's the response I got:

( sorry it will kill you but everyone else likes it )

So I guess my business goes fully to WW from now on. Dannon's loss. And I do urge you to consider not partaking in Dannon as a small little boycott. I know it's not much but still.
