Weekend Update: Recovery Edition

Good morning, Kittens.

I am pleased to report that I am on the Road to Recovery (wait, wasn't that a Crosby and Hope movie?) from my bout with Hong Kong Chicken Fever Monkey Pox Bacon Influenza. And, I'd better fucking be since all I did this entire weekend was eat, sleep, and drink (a lot!).

Booze is good for the soul cold.

I didn't go to the movies. I didn't go out dancing.
I didn't go to any bars or fun restaurants.
I didn't go to the pottery studio (until Sunday).

I did nothing.
All weekend.

Good for the wallet. Bad for the social life.

Hello, DC/Metro Area Friends, do you remember who I am?
I used to go out on weekends. Srsly.

Lessee. In other exciting news, at pottery, I trimmed two bowls and a vase. I still have one bowl to trim, but it wasn't quite ready.

I am almost finished knitting the orange scarf. I hope to finish it today, because I want to give it to Mike (Who Makes Cakes) tomorrow after my hair appointment.

Speaking of the Hair Appointment. The blueberry-lemon infused vodka is finished. However, it only tastes like lemon. I can't decide if that is because the blueberries I bought were flavorless purple lumps or because I have a stopped up nose and can't taste anything. *sigh* At least the color is purty.

Maybe I will go Red for Autumn. Hmmmm ....

Have a great day! *smooches*

    So are you Crosby? And a bottle of gin is Hope?

    Hey, I was sort of strawberry blonde too when I was young. But many years ago, I went silver and I never looked back! That said, I do think that red for autumn is a nice choice.

I'm Back (from Vacation)

 I'm back. I will be posting about my vacation soon.  Well, soonish ... maybe this weekend.  I dunno. Also, I came back to a big pile of stress at work.  Good times. Can I go on vacation again?  (Why, yes. Yes, I can.  I'll be flying to Atlanta for Pesach.  Just the weekend.  Not the whole dang thing.  My body needs gluten. And, then, a quick trip to NC in early May to see the 'rents.) ANYWAY.  Israel and Latvia posts coming up. Stay tuned. Or just look at the pix on my IG. *hugz*

If We Took a Holiday ...

 Happy Presidents' Day! Since I last posted, so much has happened ... I think.   I was going to bake my parents heart-shaped biscuits, because -when we were wee lads- my mom used to bake my brother and I heart-shaped biscuits on Valentine's morning.  They were not as good as the biscuits I make now. However, after I grated the frozen butter in my food processor, I tipped it out into the flour and the handle on the food processor broke.  The bowl fell into the flour.  I dug out a few pieces of plastic and a spring, and I threw it all in the trash.  I called the manufacturer.  They are sending me a new bowl ... in 2-3 weeks.  UGH.  HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO MAKE BISCUITS NOW?!?!? The SigNoth caught a cold, so Valentine's Day was even more of a bust.  Not that I really buy into the whole pseudo-holiday thing anyway. Saturday, I did my taxes. Refund, yay!  And, I ordered some nice stationery.  I thought it would be fun to use my fa...

Too Early But Not Early Enough

 6:00AM. With the new normal, I should be on a bus to the metro station, where I board a train and then another train to arrive at my office bright and early and chipper as a newborn squirrel. Today is special, though.  It's Pottery Class Registration Day.  Which is surprisingly competitive.  The DMV has too many Type A Soccer Moms (and Dads). In order to register for class, I have to log on at 6:30AM and hope the Pottery Gods are kind to me in the registration queue.  We shall see ... so exciting. After I register, I will then board a bus and a train ... and another train to get to my office.  Depending on what time I arrive, I will either work late (ugh) or take some leave (also, ugh).  Being totally honest, I will more than likely take leave because I hate being at work late.   This would be a perfect day to telework.  If we were allowed to telework.  Too bad Danger Yam (as one of my mutuals calls He Who Must Not Be Named) thinks...
