Bad (mustard) seeds

Did you know there is such a thing as bad mustard powder? Well, turns out, there is. And I have to toss three pounds of ground beef I cooked today because of it.

Not happy. Mostly because of the icky feeling my stomach is producing, though I do hate throwing away food as well.

I'm not sure I can blame all the intestinal distress on the mustard, but it certainly hasn't helped calm my belly. And, damn, it tasted nasty. Blech.

Ach well. I'm off to bed. No point waiting up for Geoff as his flight was delayed and he won't be arriving home until about 2. Poor guy. I just hope he isn't hungry when he gets here...

Howeork. Erm, homework. Ugh. (But mostly good things.)

- Got my final Word lab to start on. It's due Wednesday. Don' wanna.

- Geoff is home (though not at this exact moment as he's taken Page to the last swim lesson of the session), which is marvelous. We've been walking hand-in-hand wherever we go.

- Lord the acting is terrible in 1st season ST:NG. Absolutely horrible. Not even Patrick Stewart is good. Actually, I think Jonathon Frakes is probably the best one of the bunch, which I find highly amusing. All the others make me cringe. Cringe!

- My house is pretty when it's tidy.

- I've painted this week. Twice. I thought I had finished one of the paintings, but on further reflection, I haven't. It needs glazing for more depth. The other painting is nowhere near finished as it still needs a bajillion layers of glaze to get it to the right colors/intensity. A layer a day should get it there within the next century, though. :-) (<--Artist's math is cool, isn't it? It's like the opposite of Writer's Math!)

- Alone time is happening. Right now! And I expect I can get more of it later on today, too! SO COOL!

- My stomach, while still on the fragile side, seems to have basically recovered from the rancid mustard of yesterday. No more cramping, anyway. Yay!

- Related: we now have non-rancid-mustard-infected food to eat in the house. Double yay!

- Have I mentioned how happy I am to have Geoff back? Cuz I really, really am. Just want to snuggle into his arms and stay there all day. Page wants that too, though, so I guess we'll have to work out a compromise. ;-D

- I suppose I've stalled long enough. Gotta go do my homework. I must say I am really looking forward to Freedom Friday (first day after the last day of class)!
