My knee is back to operational. It's a bit stiff, but I can actually use it. This makes me happy because I was afraid I was going ot have to, yet again, go on an excercise haitus (sp?). I'll prolly have to stay away from like step classes or something. But still. This makes me happy.
Carl and I went over to Susannah and Jake's last night for dinner. They were very sweet and engaging. We had chicken peanut stuff, which was really good. I brought a bottle of Syrah. That turned out to be a big hit. Syrah is so smooth. They had a bottle of wine that was labeled "Red Wine". It tasted how black-eyed peas smell right after picking. It was really different, but I liked it. Carl and I were able to take a bus back home that was a straight shot. This was very exciting to discover; taking the T back would have been a pain in the ass. 1. It would have taken 45 min or so to get back. 2. The T stops running at 12 or 1230, so it's always crowded with people frantically trying to catch it.
The weather here is PERFECT. I have the windows open and it's just plain heavenly. I wish I could sleep with the windows up. Unfortunately (expect on move-in and move-out days), we are on the first floor. So leaving them up during the middle of the night isn't the smart thing to do. This is a shame. Shame on the world making it to where I feel uncomfurtable sleeping with my windows up. It's such a small pleasure, and I am robbed by the mere theat of potential theives. Or worse.
I made healthy turkey-veggie lasgna tonight. It was really good excpect for the eggplant. The eggplant in it tastes like crap. This is what I get for not cooking with recipes. I was really on a roll, too. The last couple of things were not too shabby. At any rate, eggplant eludes me completely. I either under cook it, overcook it, don't cook it the correct way for the recipe I'm making. According to my favorite online nutrient counter, eggplant has so few calories that it is the ideal diet food. It would really work in my favor to learn what the hell I'm doing with it.
I have lost my Freakonomics book. That isn't really mine. I need to find it. I'm half way through and I've rather enjoyed being able to finish a book in less than 2 years time.
I need to try to go to bed. However, I'm wound up presently. ANd i odnt knwo where my book is to try to put me to sleep. I think it's the weather. I feel like I should be....doing something. I dont even know what it is I shoudl be doing. But I'm energized and ready to go. If I could ever learn to sustain on 5 hours of sleep, I'd be money. But. Yeah. That's crazy talk.
