I have slept almost all the time since returning, and LJ-app on my iPod cruelly devoured the post I was working on during the trip, so there were no posts while on the road ( Read more... )

I've been too tired to keep up on these posts, so here's a big ol' combo-post. Despite all of my fatigue, we have kept up on the cooking, even managed to make a treat, and I started improving my eating habits; I'm eating a little more regularly and not skipping dinner as much. Brad reminds me to eat, and brings me food if I'm too tired to get it ( Read more... )

I was completely exhausted for most of last week (with reason, at least!) so didn't post a cooking plan and have spent the week alternating recuperation with social activities. This makes me feel happy as I was getting starved for monkey-time (at least monkeys who are not Brad!) I also very lavishly went out and danced on Sunday; my plan was not ( Read more... )

I've been having a bad down-cycle the last week, and very bad in the last few days, which means I am likely going to lose some of the produce. Sad! I'm hoping I can stick it through enough to make the yummy leek and mushroom and potato soup I have planned. It doesn't feel acute enough to be an accidental glutening or ingestion of something else I ( Read more... )

I was very slow getting Brad's lunch together today, so my mom zested and juiced my big bowl of lemons. This let her take her electric lemon juicer back home as she'll need it later this week, but was also wonderful of her. In barely adequate recompense I gave her most of my limes so she can make ceviche ( Read more... )

What an awesome sneaky Christmas gift! Carl smuggled Bryant and Susan out completely incognito! My first awareness was when I opened the door! They also surprised Angie, who came over later, and Bryant opened the door for her, heeheehee. The expostulations were great ( Read more... )

Crashy start to the day, but a good ending! I went from barely coherent in the afternoon to waking up fully by the evening (like a vampire, I rise at sunset) in the evening. Brad brought me a tiny flourless chocolate cake with a candle in it and a mushy card, awwwww. I would pretend not to be affected by the cuteness but it is so very cute. I ( Read more... )

Most of last month really truly was wretched. I realized this as I got hammered with a large crash today, cramping my legs from ankles to hips and knocking me flat with exhaustion, and I thought, 'well, at least things are getting better.' So... possibly one of the worst months since year two, though it still doesn't beat the Summer of Three Week ( Read more... )

Kage Baker's The Anvil of the World is quite delicious so far. I want to play D&D in this setting! It's just so... so... gameworthy. I'm probably thinking specifically D&D because it has such a Vancean riff. Also one of the characters is played by multiplexer!

I also read Sunshine, because amberley was laughing about Bookshop Santa Cruz's Twilight display that was ( Read more... )
