The Murky Kitchen Cavern

I cleaned out the old fridge today. It wasn't properly cleaned out when we unplugged it in favour of the new one and had begun to seriously mould. There was a large standing puddle of disgusting water in the bottom of the freezer side. The odor was so pungent that I literally almost vomited, but it needed to be cleaned as it was rapidly becoming a health hazard. I washed the entire thing out with Comet cleanser, threw all of the cleaning waste out of the house immediately, then covered the interior of the refrigerator with baking soda. I left the room briefly just in case there was a bleach-baking soda reaction. There wasn't and the job was done.

Next big task is cleaning my room. My room has been improving slowly, but the pace is not near good enough. I want to get the entire thing cleaned out by the time I leave for Missouri next Monday.

Stomach Issues

I forgot to take my Prevacid this morning. This evening it caught up with me. I took the Prevacid about an hour ago and drank some baking soda. Neither helped. What finally helped was eating a tofu pup. The bun soaked up the excess acid. I guess that counts as meal 5.

I wish I was never bulimic. That's what caused my stomach problems. When I don't take my Prevacid my stomach gets so bad sometimes that I randomly vomit. It's quite horrible. Bulimia bad. Still keeps kicking me even after I've stopped. I may have this problem the rest of my life. Bulimia very bad.

Awful Day

Date and Time  - Aug. 28th, 2001, 11:29 pm

Lake really didn't want Clover coming over. She broke almost all of our nice glassware and a plate for good measure. Shirley wanted to cut very badly, but we had to comfort Lake, who was horrified at her outburst of anger.

We ended up renting "The Family Man". Lake liked it, I didn't.

Lake went to bed and we just purged. I didn't really binge. Shirley though we'd eaten too much and I just wanted to get rid of the energy of the day. So we did. Then we brushed our teeth and drank a baking soda solution.

Now I'm going to go clean up the rest of the broken glass in the kitchen.

I'm really sad about the glasses. I can't tell Lake how much they meant to me, or she'd feel even more guilty. They were the glasses I had 9 years ago, when I lived in a small rental house in Columbia, Missouri with my cat, Galena. Just me and Galena and a little garden in the backyard. I used to make spaghetti and me and Galena would sit at an upsidedown milk crate together and eat out of the same plate. I miss that place. A lot happened there. Good and bad. Those glasses were my last piece of that place. Only three remain now. 1 goblet (which were my favorite) and 2 tumblers. When they break, I'll have no connection.

No Good am I

We fell asleep around 3am. Woke up at 7. Had a weird dream about a group of people flying by holding on to each other and forming a sort-of human wing. I wonder if it has something to do with all of us holding onto each other to form one life.

Went to the corner store to pick up candy. Ended up getting Lay's Bistro Applewood BBQ & Smoked Cheddar Potato Chips and a pack of Starburst. Intended to just a few. But ate all the starburst and 2/3 of the large bag of potato chips (Lay's Bistro doesn't come in 6oz, only in 11oz). Felt really guilty and bad. Purged. Lake turned off the bathroom light to try to get me to stop, but I could see well enough from the light coming in through the grates in the door. I have excellent night vision.

After I performed my normal aftercare: drink a glass of 1 cup water mixed with ½ teaspoon baking soda.

Next, I took my Spironolactone and Premarin. Afterwards we went and sat in the livingroom. There the bag of chips was still sitting by the chair. We ate a couple, then a couple more, then a couple more. Then we had eaten enough to start worrying. "We can just vomit again", I thought. So we ate more. But then (before we had eaten a whole whole lot, but after we had eaten more than we should have) I realized that I'd just taken my hormones and I vomit, because I'd lose them too. Fuck.

I went and tried to hangout with Lake, but she was still upset about the vomiting. Of course any excuse and Cyndi wants to slice. We're sitting here with a razor blade (broken out of a safety razor) in front of us. Cyndi can use anything that goes wrong to weaken our resolve to stop her. I'm worried. I'm scared. I don't think it'll happen this time, but I'm sure it will happen again. I don't like this. No, not at all.
