So! I am not dying any longer (probably. or at least, not dying right now, like i was wishing earlier in the week), and that is very exciting. Don't think I'm quite well enough that I should be drinking, which is exceptionally unfortunate, since I'll be leaving for a party in about 45 minutes, and I really think the point of it is to eat enough ( Read more... )

tasty-looking!

speaking of food, i made my famous burritos tonight, but alas, made a horrible mistake in the process. It turns out that I did not have any salsa (which i put in with the meat/beans), so the consistency wasn't right, and adding a tomato just isn't the ( Read more... )
