ok. ok. i ate some d*mn cheese today.

what? this doesn’t make me a bad person. (right?)

see, what happened was. well. im just SO tired.

seriously.

i even have proof from a doctor.

(and by “proof” i mean “no proof.” but whatever).

here’s the thing, im commuting like INSANE amounts and im not sleeping that much, and i basically leave for work at like 8:30 a.m. and then i don’t get home until 10 p.m. and then i fall onto the bed and sleep and wake up and go back to work. AND im just not eating very much. there’s no time. and i can’t realistically bring a breakfast, lunch, dinner and snack with me to work every day.

AND im getting so exhausted that when i drive at night all the lights blur to the point that i can’t see anything else. and my eye doctor told me (for $25) that i probably just need more sleep because my eyes are so fatigue that they can’t focus.

and i know im not tired JUST because im vegan (was vegan?), but it’s not helping.

and then today, i went to Whole Foods, which is supposed to be like a vegan utopia, and even THEIR salad bar had hardly anything for me to eat.

so i took some mac&cheese and officially decided to take a little break from veganism.

don’t worry, im still vegetarian. and i still want to eat mostly vegan food.

i just need to make sure im getting enough to eat on a regular basis. and i can’t do that as a vegan right now.

it is looking like i will be moving in with a friend closer to my job within the next month or so, so maybe I’ll pick it up again. or maybe not. im not sure.

but for the record, i totally made it 5 and a half months without dairy.

ya. i still miss most cheese.

so even though it’s been nearly five months since I gave up cheese and converted to veganism, i still kinda talk about it all the damn time.

like, when i past a restaurant i used to love i say “MAN. back when i ate cheese I used to love me some Papa Johns.” or “MAN. back when i ate cheese i used to love me some olive garden.” or even “MAN. back when I ate cheese I used to love me some TGIFridays.”

this thought is so constant in my mind, that i find myself having to filter it so I don’t repeat it too many times to the same person.

For example, I’ll think to myself “ok self. you’ve passed six restaurants you used to like. on the seventh one you can go ahead and tell somebody that you miss it. … wait for it. OH! there’s one.”

“MAN. back when i ate cheese i used to love me some applebees.”

mmmmm. applebees.

oh.

and.

also, i miss Parmesan.

a.lot!

it’s just so freaking good.

sigh.

flakes of Parmesan on a plate of fettuccine alfredo. yep. that’s what I’LL be eating in heaven (where I can only assume they serve magical cheese that doesn’t come from animals and is cholesterol free.)

seriously, vegan food doesn’t suck

holy freaking crap. i just tried veganaise today and it is so d@mn good.

seriously.

it’s mayo for vegans and i had it on toasted organic bread with tofurky and tomatoes. in conclusion, i was pretty much in heaven.

tofurky is so good i can eat it alone.

but add all those other things to it and i can suddenly live without sex. without chocolate. without johnny depp. without money. i can suddenly live without dairy, eggs and meat.

i had only ever tried generic brands of soy turkey and vegan mayo before and let me just say — go name-brand foods!

seriously.

sometimes when i remeber im a vegan i freak out because i think about all the stuff i can’t eat (mozzarella. omelets. m&m’s. kraft cheese and macaroni. cream of broccoli soup) but then, i eat something a.maz.ing like veganaise.

and i think ‘wow! what will they come up with next? vegan snicker’s bars?’

*sigh* if only.

if.

only.
