Sick Rambling
Sick.
I caught the crap that last_bastion had last week. Stuffed head, in general hot, off and on headachy. I'm trying to bull doze through it while taking care of myself... I have plans for the weekend, and I'd rather not see them get shot all to hell because my immune system can't handle anything that last_bastion catches.
*heaves a sigh* So, anyway... since y'all are listening...
We made it down to Colorado Springs again last weekend, and the Garden of the Gods. It was a very beautiful place, and I could see how I could spend a long time walking around it. It was nice to immerse in the natural rhythm of a place, and to feel something so starkly different than the rest of the landscape that so resonated an age greater than me (you/us) towering above. The wind was cutting through it, slicing off tiny layers of limestone and driving it into my hair, my eyes, and my teeth. It was a truly wonderful experience.
And, before I got sick... so all the better for it.
mentalgremlin and his wife were kind enough to host, and fed us, and carted us around the area. All in all, it was an enjoyable day. Even if I made the mistake of trying funnel cake again... which tasted very good, but proceeded to sit in my stomach like lead.
Speaking of stomachs... tried a new dish tonight. The South Beach version of mashed potatoes... which involved steaming cauliflower, and then running it through a blender. It was a little wet tonight, but I can see where with some work I'll love this as a dish. Its no _real_ replacement for mashed spuds (there is nothing like starch when you're wanting comfort food...), but it was tasty enough.
....
You know, I hate being in the middle of being sick. 'Cause it always feels like you're just not going to feel normal again.
Feh.
Raen.
