this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

I'm less banged-up today. My bad ankle does hurt, so I think it needs a brace for a while, at least while I walk the dog or go to the gym. And my right arm (which I guess I landed on) hurts from the shoulder to the wrist. Boo. Mostly stiff, but kind of sore.

My face is fine. No pain, no bruising.

OMG, now I need two kittens who are sisters so I can name them those names.

I have an on-going fantasy of acquiring a couple of Rottweiler puppies and naming them Leto and Ghanima.

I'm not fond of matchy names for people, but I do love them in pets!

There are a couple of particularly sinister Australian Shepherds in the neighborhood named Blink And Nod.

Eartha Kitty and Uma Furman.

I love it! Another possible kitty name is Cat Power, which, er, needs no alteration to sound like a silly pet name.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love

I have long planned to get two dogs and name them Nancyboy and Widowmaker.

Kate, do you need to massage the kale or something?

I don't think you have to, but it wouldn't hurt and is pretty easy. After you cut up the kale, pour a little (maybe two tsp, or more if you have a lot of kale) olive oil & lemon juice into the bowl and work it into the kale with your fingers, just to make sure most everything is coated with the oil. It does help to take the edge off the bitterness of the kale.

The other thing I like about kale salad is that it keeps much better in the fridge than lettuce- or spinach-based salads, because the leaves don't get all gunky overnight.

I think my cold is worse today than yesterday. Bleh. Good thing my parents are here to help keep the kiddo occupied, since I'm not much help in that department at the moment. And I'm about to head out to choir rehearsal. Wish I could skip, but I already have to miss tomorrow's rehearsal, and our concert is Thursday night (!), so off I go. (I'll stand in the back so as to minimize the chance of infecting anyone else.)
