There is literally no reason I should be sleepy, other than that it's cold, rainy, and dark, and it's the first day back after the holidays.
I'd rather stay home and watch television. It's often funnier than killing stuff.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

I know just enough NPM to be able to follow that, Gud. Color me impressed.

I will put Cauliflower and Tahini on the shopping list. Yummers!

Because books.
We went to my brother's over Christmas -- speaking of vegetables -- and they're now eating mostly plant-based. I definitely need to get more vegetables into my diet, and I had 15 tabs of recipes open in my browser when it mysteriously closed. Grrr.
Which is also to say the roasted cauliflower and tahini sounds delicious and like something I could actually make.
Freya is lovely, Gud.

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

Ugh, I hate that! Sometimes there's a "15 tabs recently closed" option under History, if you're lucky.

Because books.
Yes! And Dana reminded me to look there! I am so computer dumb sometimes.

I am still on furlough and now I'm in bed with a terrible head cold and no voice at all. Literally none - like, when I try to speak all I get is a squeaky wheeze. So weird.
I was planning to go see Spider-Verse today but I'm not sure I could drag myself out of the house...

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Oh no, Consuela! That seems like adding insult to injury.

I got up at noon!
Oh wait, that's now normal for me, what with the going to bed after 2am and reading for at least an hour. But shifting back to my near-nocturnal schedule has done wonders for my productivity.
My sincere sympathies to everyone who had to head into work today.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
No bueno, Consuela! Best to baby yourself with at-home entertainments I think.
Faced with another holiday week from school for Matilda and limited means to entertain her I was thrilled when she went over to her friend Norah's yesterday, and then did a sleepover.
But even happier today that she only stopped home long enough to grab some of her xmas money to head over to Japantown with Norah to have ramen at their favorite spot.
This is only the second time she's been there with her friends unsupervised, so I'm just getting used to her being a Free Range Chicken in the City.
OTOH, how cool is that she gets to take the bus to Japantown with her friend and they have a favorite Ramen spot?
