The Plate


The doctor thinks I have too much on my plate. I countered that I've piled the plate WAY higher in years past. The plate, at this moment in time, is heavy, but handleable. She argued back that I may believe I've filled the plate appropriately, but the eye twitching and the globus prove otherwise. I'm still not sure though. I was rooting for thyroid problems, so I was bummed when the thyroid tests came back negative. At least I have no goiter. Just a full plate and a resolution to stay away from the buffet table for awhile.

i'm glad there's no goiter. a goiter would be a bummer.

i'm familiar with the plate problem. it seems there's no good way to solve it when you can't remove any of the items.

Dear Sister Woman, say no to goiters and thyroid problems. Perhaps you can learn to spin plates on sticks, turn it into some kind of stress releasing activity and call it "a little leevity".

hey sister, i am looking for additional hobbies, so plate spinning could be good. I was hoping to learn how to do a cartwheel this year. it's always bothered me that I never learned how to do one. I'll keep you posted.

I have a couple of those plastic kid plates left--those ones with compartments so one kind of food never touches another kind of food. Perhaps they would help you organize your full plate into discreet parts. I have always been a serious plate guarder...no one can easily sneak additional items onto my plate because I get eye twitching and stomache aches at about the 3/4 plate full mark. Of course this seriously limits what I can get done in life sometimes.

hey kiddo, you're on to something with the 3/4 full. twitching is so annoying. today my lip started twitching. i think i have a serious disease that involves palsy, but the dr. disagrees.
