I miss cheeseburgers.

With the disappearance of my tonsils and uvula, there have been some marked changes in my immediate eating habits. I didn't know how much I loved cheeseburgers until I could no longer eat them. We always take things [and people, for that matter] for granted until they're gone. Taking people for granted. I hope I never do that... again.

I've also learned a new word: tepid. This is a descriptor of the foods that I can eat, which, under normal circumstances would be nice and hot. Tepid soup is okay. Tepid coffee isn't the greatest, so Kelly has been making me coffee milkshakes, so yum. Please God, don't ever let me take her for granted.
