I had rough plans with a friend this weekend while the husband is down at MAL, but as usual with this friend a house emergency came up (leaking roof this time) so I'm flying solo. I told the husband I looked forward to him complaining about the number of comics I'll read this weekend (complaining because he then has to sort and file them all at ( Read more... )

Used the random day off to nap and to catch up on comics. I'm not quite a month behind at this point; the little box I use to hold 'to be read' comics is full with overspill. I almost got all the overspill into the box today, but I still have 8-10 comics that won't quite fit ( Read more... )

The husband was out late, and it's still gross outside from the snow, so I was up late last night to grab him from the Metro. But that's okay, because it meant I slept in this morning, so he had to walk himself to the Metro first thing to get to work. Karma ( Read more... )

Huh, WP is behaving in Safari tonight. Yay computer weirdness ( Read more... )

The latest update to WordPress seems to have broken the 'make new post' page in Safari. Works alright in Firefox, but the screen just shows up as a blank page in Safari (which is really odd because everything else in WP works just fine in Safari; it's just the 'make new post' screen that's dead). Here's hoping the next update fixes it ( Read more... )

We took down all the Xmas stuff today. Well, the interior stuff; the exterior stuff came down before some wind storms earlier this week. First it was off to haircuts, lunch, and picking up some cheese for homemade pizza, which I promptly nixed in the late afternoon for tonight because the Xmas stuff took too much time & energy. *insert raspberry ( Read more... )

I decided for a variety of reasons to switch from my Apple watch as my daily watch to a Garmin watch instead. I've long used Garmin for sports-specific efforts, or step tracking, but not as a daily watch. One of the things the Garmin does in the morning when I first wake up is give me a readout on level of effort, recovery, etc., and it includes a ( Read more... )

Had another couple we're friends with over this evening, and made some new dishes (a maple glazed pork loin with Swiss chard & carrots; roasted broccoli; and lemon & parsley quinoa). They turned out well, for the most part, and were well received. The broccoli was a trifle overdone in spots (overly hot burner while pan roasting), but still tasted ( Read more... )

High FODMAP load kind of day for me. The "sourdough" from the grocery store was not true made-with-a-starter sourdough, so the reflux is not happy with me. Ah well ( Read more... )

Windy start to the new year. Walked outside after lunch (Denny's, which was chaos; I tipped our poor waitress very well). Walk went well, had one spot where a gust threatened my balance, but kept my feet okay and kept going. Slightly longer walk today since it was the last "warm" day for the near future (47F/8C) as a cold front brings possible snow ( Read more... )
