Restless
Five hours of sleep three nights in a row (do the math, I'm down a full night and it's only Wednesday!) results in faint hallucinations at the corners of one's eyes. If I were a cat, I'd be jumping at hazy trailing lights. Since I'm not a cat, I say "oh, that's rather interesting" and try to resist the temptation to close my eyes. I am aided in this by the loud leaf blowers operating outside my window. But I am also hampered in this by the fact that it is still 80 degrees in my office, despite all the heat being turned off for two days.
Stayed up too late last night because I went grocery shopping after class, then decided to cook a real dinner, a Spanish tortilla. My MIL gave me a five pound bag of potatoes (apparently when she did her thanksgiving shopping the supermarket was having a buy one, get one free deal) and I'm trying to use them up in ways that don't involved baked potatoes every night for dinner. The tortilla turned out really well, with potatoes, a little onion, some broccoli (also a buy one get one free acquisition) and most importantly some black pepper goat cheese. Usually when I make tortillas they come out a little dry as I'm always afraid of undercooking them, but the cheese (melted into the potato/onion/broccoli mixture before I added that to the eggs) kept things creamy. Hooray the power of cheese!
I will get my foot x-rayed after work today. I hope they let me see the x-rays. Not that I can really tell anything from looking at them, but I'd just like to see my bones and know whether the metatarsals really are as shoved over as they feel. In another two weeks I'll see the doctor again to get his interpretation and recommendations. Pretty anxious about that, but there's not much I can do about it.
Decided to get a camcorder in the after Christmas sales. I'm quite excited!
