Nought's had, all's spent, when our desire is got without content
Saturday, January 18th, 2025 10:48 amWhat went before: I felt somewhat better yesterday afternoon, and managed to attack the Mess on my Desk. I also finished the second Gretna Green book, and got sidetracked into Shakespeare: The Man Who Pays the Rent, by Judi Dench and Brendan O'Hea, which is being delightful, restful, and shaking some of the dust out of my brain. I haven't thought about Shakespeare, to actually, yanno, think about Shakespeare, for decades, and I was never an actor, so not only shaking off the dust, but a new perspective, too.
Onward.
Saturday. Grey and warm(ish). If the weatherbeans are to be believed, we're in for a spate of crazy weather. Temps in excess of 40F/4C are being called for today, with rain starting this afternoon -- which is really unseasonable.
But, wait! We are also under a Winter Storm Watch for Sunday, with a possible fall of 6 inches of heavy, wet, snow. After that, we'll be in the Deep Freeze for a bit, with highs on Monday around 14F and lows around -4F, warming back up into the 30sF by next weekend.
All winter in a week, and a fine thing it is that I was planning on staying in at least until the antibiotics are gone.
Getting back to the order of the day -- breakfast! was a use-em-up meal -- the last of the tuna fish, the last of the Dreamberries, and whole wheat toast to keep them company. Lunch will beee......oh. I have veggie burgers. Veggie burger onna whole wheat bun with tomato (but not a slice of cheese, curse you, antibiotics!)
I slept in this morning, in part to make up for the hour of hacking my head off at around 3:30am. I'm feeling significantly better than I did last night, so I can almost forgive the antibiotics for taking my cheese away from me for seven! days!
I have some business to take care of here at the desk this morning, but I'm still on light duty -- that seems prudent, given It All. It also means, of course, that I don't have very much to talk about, so!
What're you doing today?
