I crushed twenty cloves of garlic and chopped four containers of strawberries.

Wow. That's an interesting meal.

Now I cooked, washed the dishes, and put in more laundry. I think if I finish off the floppy discs tonight I can call it a win.

I am cold and headachey. I've put on a sweater and closed all the windows and turned up the heat, but I'm not feeling much warmer.

Add my home networking confusion to all that, and I really should be doing something mindless that involves a lot of blankets.

But I really want there to be pie, and I have a ton of apples and butter and flour (and lard--what in hell was I thinking? I was supposed to buy Crisco).

It seems like you've done plenty for now, Debet. I mean, if you clean more now, it might put you off cleaning forever.

Unless you were looking for encouragement?

I baked some salmon in the oven with a merlot jelly and mustard sauce and I had mashed cauliflower. then I had my version of a chocolate shake.

hamstrings are no longer complaining., shoulders are tired, hands and forearms are attempting to scream ( but they have no mouth).

I am not really surprised that I hurt, but I am surprised that things hurt as much as they do...

Hee, Libkitty. I swept the bathroom, and am calling it done.

Now, I'm lying on the hide-a-bed (my apartment is also cold, but I have wood-burning stove! which is in the living room.) watching The Court Jester.

My lungs are still trying to escape.

I have no advice on the creation of pie when a pile of blankets is so appealing

I want a fire.

I'm trying to convince myself that if I bake, the apartment will not only get warmer, it will smell delish. Which is true--but is it enough?

Meanwhile, I think I hate my router.

Baking usually makes me feel warmer.

I am watching Thursday's Supernatural. I keep pausing because I find it disturbing.

Did lots of errands today, including hitting the library...audiobooks rule!...getting fit for a new pair of running shoes..the reason for which will be apparent in a sec and carousing around REI. There was a bookstore, a fabric store and some Chinese food wedged in there too, but I digress.

This is sort of cross-posty from Tech.

I need advice on pedometers. I have committed to walking the Marine Corps Marathon for the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society and I am starting my training nowish.

Since my birthday is coming up, I've been offered a pedo-gift but I'm having trouble choosing the best option. The Nike/iPod synergy seemed a good choice until we came home and read the reviews.

It doesn't have to be fancy, but I'd like a clock, distance and pace.

Anyone have experience with good ones?

I am watching Thursday's Supernatural. I keep pausing because I find it disturbing.

And, weirdly, I can't remember whether I watched Thursday's Supernatural, and I find that disturbing. I think I thought it wasn't new? Or I'm completely blanking.

ETA: And I know nothing useful about pedometers.

And I seem to be caught up on SPN. So.

I'm so lame. I actually went out tonight, but I'm SO HAPPY to be home already!
