I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
RIP Gilbert Blythe
Aw, man, that's terrible. I loved him.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Woo, Tep!
My first 5K was also a hilly muddy mess, but I at least knew that was likely when I signed up. And it was awesome and badass. So I am sure you are more awesome and badass because (a) surprise and (b) capes!
My plan for today was to watch recorded TV and Netflix in between lackadaisically cleaning. So far I have only managed the TV part.

Timelies all!
Woo, Steph!

I thought I had the Anne series, but I don't.
Steph, my walk home is a little under 5k, paved and downhill and it regularly takes me 50-55 mins. That's a really good time for muddy and hilly.

I had some strawberries that I let sit too long, so rather than throwing them out, I'm macerating them in rum, vanilla, sugar, and a dash of cayenne.

Yay 5K and capes!
I got up and did yoga, and met some new folks and had brunch with them. Now I am sore and tired, but it's SUCH a pretty day out...I feel I should enjoy it.

Go, Teppy!
The diabetic counselor said I could have a little bit of Quick (1 tsp instead of the 2 tbs serving size) in my milk for an afternoon snack. It is not a milkshake, but it may keep me from losing my mind in the next 4 months.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
Whir it in the blender, sj, it will froth it up and make it fancy. Dust it with a little instant coffee powder--decaf if you're off caffeine--instant mocha almost-milkshake! You might want to try nonfat dry milk, Quik powder or an unsweetened cocoa powder--we use Dagoba. Do check, though, that cocoa is allowed, for the caffeine, etc. Blend the powders with a little ice water and a few ice cubes, dust with powdered cinnamon or coffee, and it comes out frothy and delicious and like a sinful treat.

Oops, I didn't mean to post in Natter, not that it matters.

I did use the Quik powder, and it tasted good even with using such a small amount. My ability to taste sweetness seems to be heightened since I am eating so few sweet things. A blender just feels like too much work and clean up at the moment. I am incredibly lazy and tired lately.
