I don't like runny eggs by themselves, but I do like how they thicken and enrich things like shakshuka or ramen.

Yesterday was literally adding insult to brain injury so today is better even if it's not great. Had egg-drop soup and wontons for lunch today, which was both good and I was starving from mostly having medication(Pepto, Gas X, et al) for dinner yesterday, surrounded by a little chicken and rice. Have slightly lost the urge to smack some of the people that have told me my whole life that "God never gives you more than you can handle," although the thought that some of the earliest ones are dead now is slightly more comforting than seems civilized.(He may not, but peristalsis does, very much. don't know if that was a sub-contract gone wrong, but I'm putting a note in the suggestion box or whatever.) ETA: Meant to say this yesterday, but didn't because of my...cleanse, but I actually found "South Park" emotionally satisfying the other day...Kyle's mom busted Bibi's chops for being a bad person and trying to wrap it up in Judaism. Also, some Mom greatest hits like "Watch your tone," and "Look at me when I'm talking to you."

I’m glad you’re able to have food for food again, erikaj. GI problems can be miserable.

I realized I was debating ancient food ways and inequity with an anarchist on tumblr. And I said out loud, “Jesus, I need to get a job.”

I am spending my Saturday flying to Frankfurt for a work conference (sadly, I was NOT invited to attend Frankfurt Book Fair) but since my flight lands at 8:30 Sunday morning, I booked myself a Rhine Valley tour day trip to keep me awake and beat the jet lag. Wish me scenery and good wine!

Misread anarchist as antichrist and did a nod and "you go." Well I guess that works for both.

ETA: in our misspent yout' we camped up the Rhine to Holland and loved every lumpy night and day of it. Have wonderful views and whatever food's available, Jess.

keep me awake and beat the jet lag

Scenery might help with that. Good wine might not.

Ooh, Jess, bon voyage (I assume that implicitly includes the requested good tour wishes)!

Timelies all.

Tomorrow evening we fly up to CT for the funeral.(My dad's family is buried there, so my mom joins them.) Fly back Monday night. Then we fly down to FL Wed night. The memorial service is Thursday morning. Gary flies back Friday afternoon so he can have Mr. S for the weekend. I'm staying until Sunday.

Have a terrific trip, Jessica!

I hope your travels go smoothly, Sheryl.
