Accomplishments are everywhere. Sometimes.
You know how sometimes things suck and then they don't? I've just been having a string of awesome days. Which may be karmic re-balancing after my disgusting food poisoning on Saturday... or it might mean that I'm in for something nasty around the bend. :)
Either way, today I had an amazing acupuncture treatment where I dozed off on the table, which rarely ever happens. She also gave me all these dietary tips, which aren't all that different from how I eat normally, except that it gives me my own little Top Chef challenge to figure out different ways of using all these tasty vegetables that happen to also be good for my spleen qi deficiency. (Yeah, acupuncture has things like that... don't ask, I don't know.)
Then I went home and articulated more things about Bakhtin, in the form of a paper prospectus which is basically an outline which basically means I've already written the paper. (That's not really true. But it does mean I'll be able to write the paper over Thanksgiving!)
I also may have figured out all this shame business! It involves linguistic insufficiencies and insanity and some close reading, all of which seem like smart grad-schooly types of things.
And then I made carrot dill soup! It is so tasty, and uses leftover stock that I froze after the last soup I made, which makes me feel extra clever for having frozen leftover stock. (Oh, the small things in life...) I love freezing things, because then it's like a present when you reheat them. Kind of. :)
So now I'm going to sit back and watch some TV and enjoy my weekend. Jeeves, bring me some wine...
