So the weather today was quite nice so we rode down through Carmel and Big Sur. My cold attempted to rally and nursing a low grade fever and mild grumpiness we forwent hiking and instead went to the Hearst Castle, which I got a kick out of largely because of Xanadu in Citizen Kane. We had dinner at a great Iranian place in Monterey, and when the hostess asked us if we'd ever had Iranian food before and we were like yes, she asked if we were in the army. This greatly entertained me. Scott pointed out that there's a US Army language school in town so it makes sense, but I pointed out that we hardly look the part (him all scruffy, me with long hair and cargo pants and Emergency!coffee tee).
Anyhow I am nursing some tea and hoping the cold goes away. It's very annoying because I want to go out and have fun, except I also want to do nothing but curl up in a blanket with tea. *grump*
I have been behaving though, not checking work email or working. I wrote maybe half a paragraph of fic but that's mostly because Scott keeps interrupting me. Silly whicket!!
Aquarium tomorrow for realsies though.
