Cycling, spines, and chili pudding blob blob blob...

[golden_meliades]

I think I will be making three things today.  Chili, chocolate pudding, and whipped cream.  No boxed versions, since the vast majority of convenience foods contain colorants and/or preservatives and/or thickeners and emulsifiers that don't agree with me.  So actual whipping cream, actual from-scratch pudding, and chili that doesn't contain anything

This is the second time I've ever bought a bike. Buying Ghost was such a big deal (bigger than I realized at the time since after I got him I became a real cyclist and before that...definitely not). I really hope this turns out. This makes me more nervous than any of the times I've had surgery, by a long shot. (Surgery doesn't really make me nervous, y'see, so maybe saying that isn't very significant, lol.)

The errands all went off perfectly with plenty of time to stop at the bank (not a single other person waiting at the ATM, either) and get home. The chili has come out perfectly and the puddings are even better than when I tried this recipe once before. Except I should have cooked the pudding about thirty seconds longer...it's set, but it's a pretty soft set. I can't make up my mind just how firm pudding should be. Tastes awesome, though. :D

Today must be my lucky day, to make up for the unlucky ones I've had lately. My game that was supposed to arrive tomorrow is coming TODAY. :D

Not only that, I slept great last night. All the stars aligned, and my pillow deflated in the middle until it was only an inch and a half thick under my head, but it puffed up on the outsides and held my head like a bird in a nest and...well, in short, I slept all night. No waking up from neck pain or a clenched jaw even once! It was glorious. I feel pretty awesome.
