I got up early to go to the airport, lost my debit card (not a huge deal--canceled it and have others but still) and did a ton of work but am still not done with what I need to do. Should finish some more of it tonight, not sure if I will. But I only have Wednesday at home before I leave for vacation.

Also had a panic earlier that the place I'm staying at for vacation might not have Internet. I know the place I asked about did, but that one wasn't available and she offered another place in the same complex, but it's owned by other folks. It probably has it but I'll be super annoyed if I didn't check that.

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

That would be annoying, I hope they have it meara.

Hey does anyone have a good recipe for cooking rice in coconut milk? I've been wanting to try that for a while, but just haven't gotten around to it.

Pumpkin had a couple nibbles of genoa salami last night. Never again. It's kitten-with-worms farts all over again. Eye-watering. And she seems pleased with herself.

Took a 45 minute walk before sunset, since I couldn't swim and was about to lose my mind. Pleased to see most of the 'hood is like my block and the sidewalks were well tended. AND there's a super good sam on Ednor who runs their snowblower for THE WHOLE BLOCK. And alleys.

I want a snowblower. I will be that person.

So ready to go into the office tomorrow.

Punishingly Intricate

Hey does anyone have a good recipe for cooking rice in coconut milk? I've been wanting to try that for a while, but just haven't gotten around to it.

I usually just replace about half the water I'd normally use with coconut milk and it works well. I can't find a recipe I've used though. I did use this one for coconut rice pudding that was super yummy:

Oooh, coconut rice pudding. I need to try that.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

I usually just replace about half the water I'd normally use with coconut milk and it works well.

That's what I do too. Plus a little salt to counter the sweetness of the coconut milk.

Thanks Jessica and lisah. That sounds so easy!

I have finished giving myself a shot, day 4. Four more days?

We have accreditation visits yesterday, today and tomorrow. This may be the end of me.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

I didn't kick anyone in the shins today, which is probably good career wise, but also disappointing.

Now I want coconut rice pudding. Yum.

I double checked, the place I'm staying does have wifi! Next question--do I bring my computer (easier to type and can do more) or my iPad (lighter, less of an issue if something happens)?

Kat you're halfway done yay? Does the leg hurt any less?
