Punishingly Intricate

Bison potroast was delicious! Made this recipe basically:

Except I didn't have so many root veggies and I didn't have any shallots. So I used just carrot and sweet potato. Still pretty good I have to say.

And I made some chocolate walnut meringue-y type cookies. Also tasty!

I have a pair of Aerosole hand-me-down boots that I love. But I tried to buy some boots off their website a couple of years back and it was a disaster of non-availability ill communicated which kind of broke my heart a little and I haven't trusted them since. I can carry a mean retail grudge I guess.

Yikes, I need to get to work on my cookie experimentation...

I need to get some new boots. And winter clothes. I've shrunk a bit again. Not a lot, but enough that after a summer of wearing new skirts and dresses, I've discovered my pants, even the slightly tight ones, and sweaters are being too baggy. Thing is, the weight hasn't dropped that much. Just turned to muscle, I guess.

Not that I have much budget for it. Ehn.

Also, Sox, my dad says anytime.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Over the past week, I lost some weight, unsurprisingly. Where did I notice it? My portacath. You can totally trace the line all the way up from the plug bit on my chest to where it goes deep at my neck.

"Does my portacath look fat to you, honey?"

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Uh-oh. Streams are crossing. Monica wanted to see Hec's "I think you owe Geek2Geek an endorsement." post, so she's, um, lurking.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Hi Monica!

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

Hi Monica! Clearly one of us.
