  1. And now, it’s time for bed

    November 27, 2007 by ChiaLynn

    Actually, I think it was time for bed about an hour ago. I’ve got more work I should be doing, but I can’t face it. I’ve got a headache, I’m cold (the cat is, too — she’s gotten quite aggressive about trying to be in my lap), and I need sleep.

    Because I was working, I didn’t go to Melanie‘s class tonight, which left me a bit of time to cook dinner — we had deer chops with garlic, leek, bell pepper and sweet potato, plus salad. Took about half an hour to make (I just sauteed everything in the oil left over from the sausages we had Sunday night, then simmered it in a tiny bit of vegetable broth), and between the garlic and the Italian sausage oil, didn’t require any other seasoning. I’m very happy with it.


  2. Crap, I did it again

    Last night, I just flat forgot to post. So I’m backdating another entry. (Is it cheating if I admit I’m doing it?)

    How’d I forget? Um… Well, after my lesson with Amara, I picked NovySan up from work, we took the rental car back, then we picked up a friend of Ben‘s who’s vacationing in Santa Monica and took him to dinner at Lula. (Which isn’t as good as Finn‘s, but I did like my chile relleno. And the sexy matador pinups in the bar are a definite plus.) So, by the time we got home, I was fried, and just flat forgot. (And after thinking to myself, “I’ll have to post when I get home,” too.)


  3. Cherishing a day of rest

    After driving to Wyoming and back between Tuesday evening and this morning, with too-brief stops at both parents’ houses and one restless night with an aggressively affectionate cat, it was nice to take a long nap this morning, followed by a late lunch at Finn McCool’s and hours just hanging out on the couch. (Okay, so I’m working while hanging out on the couch, but thank goodness I’m not driving.)
