Emptied compost pail and put it to soak, put pumpkin in the compost. Folded a few more things. Reheated tea, eating cheese and crackers.

Having read the first issue or two, I knew The Walking Dead would be fucking depressing, but I'm just not sure I can handle it.

We went out to breakfast today and made a list of things we want to do in Cape Cod, and now I am reading the paper and avoiding trying to figure out how to print up labels and looking at what our new budget will consist of.

Y'all, I'm the saddest person. My sister, whom I adore, but who is my complete opposite in the kitchen, was making breakfast for herself and Lewis. I offered to chop veggies (she's also a massive klutz and my knives are Very Sharp) and finally wound up taking charge when the Pam cooking spray was winding up everywhere and utensils she wasn't even using were getting dirty.

I simply grabbed the spatula and shooed her away feeling terrible that I just couldn't let her do her thing. *sigh*

Omelet was pretty, though.

I have cleaned house and done laundry. I want to go watch the game, but I need to go pick up our malaria meds and pack because...we leave for freaking India on Wednesday!

Yay, India! Have fun DJ and hubby!

Daisy, did I miss that you got your passports and visas?

I really think that restaurants should have answering machines for when they're not open. I am likely to forget to call back on Tuesday when they are actually open to make dinner reservations for next weekend.

Oh, Jilli, I wasn't able to return the hi because we'd left. We were at a wedding where the bride was from SLC and I guess she was there for her. (The groom was a good friend from the bar, and he knew the bride while they were living in Pittsburg, but married to other people. They started talking again and after a few visits she moved here and they decided to get married. The cousin of another friend we met from the bar was the bride's roommate in college. Crazy coincidence wedding).

Connie, I didn't mention it here, but yes we got them late last week. My DL came in too. So relieved!

Yay for India trip! So exciting.

Last load folded and put away. Except that I ran out of hangers. Eesh.

So, despite being on prednisone, zyrtec, Zantac, OTC painkillers, and topical anti-itch gel - I'm still itching. And now I'm getting hives on my forearm where the worst of the poison ivy is. Not pleased, y'all.
