Oranges
So, with my new diet, I've been eating more bananas and oranges than I know what to do with. I mean I like oranges and bananas, but I'm doing about 6 a day all together. Well, I'm supposed to anyway. Right now, it's 2:15 in the afternoon and I've only had 2 bananas and one orange - which by the way I peeled with my very own fingernails.
I'd always been a nailbiter. 38 years of biting nails, and pretty soon you don't even know what it's like to have them. When they started coming in they were pretty weak, so it took a while for them to get strong enough to peel an orange. But here I am, sitting in my office, drinking bottled water, eating an orange.
It's almost normal. I can remember regularly biting 'til my finger tips bled. Not like I'd eat my fingers, but the skin on the edges of the nail would get riped off and - ewww - I'm getting dizzy.
Anywho, it's nice having nails for the first time. I can open soda cans, peel labels off stuff, and undo knots.
