averygoodun42As in the mood. There's not much actual content here.
1. My brother recently found a box of photos from our childhood, and I am really enjoying the stroll down memory lane on FB. Gosh, Page looks like me at that age! And my sister was so incredibly beautiful. Well, she still is, but not in that fresh-faced way of yesteryear. I also got a kick out of seeing a picture of one of my brother's friends (whom I had a crush on because he was so sophisticated and the epitome of cool), and it makes me laugh, because he looks like such a kid to me now! Just how old am I, anyway? (Answer: twice his photographed self's age!)
2. I am really enjoying the kale smoothies I've been making myself this week. Today's was perfect: not too sweet and not to kale-y. My skin has also been looking much better this week. Almost normal, actually. I think it's due to a number of things (washing my face religiously twice a day and oiling it up afterwards PLUS the diet PLUS cutting down on nuts (because of the phytic acid) PLUS the kale smoothies (nutrients and antioxidents out the yingyang) PLUS getting a bit more exercise PLUS keeping hydrated PLUS avoiding all dairy (darn casein) PLUS avoiding tea (for the most part), etc.), but it's satisfying to see an actual positive change after so long. I still have a nasty patch of eczema on my neck, but whatever. I suspect it will go away shortly, as that was where my eczema used to be before the ozone treatments made my face flare up. When that fades and the insides of my elbows flare, I'll know I'm darn close to being healthy.
3. I finished "The Hound of the Baskervilles" yesterday. I enjoyed the tale quite a bit, and possibly more so becauseSnape Sherlock wasn't in it very much. Though I like the written Sherlock far more than BC's version. (I enjoy BC's version very much, but he's an absolute pain in the arse in a way that written Sherlock isn't. Not that Doyle's Sherlock is someone I'd like to hang out with, mind.)
4. It looks like there'll be no sod for me today. :-( And I kind of wonder whether the project manager has been fired or something, as he wasn't here today, and he left rather hastily yesterday after an angry phone call. *shrug* I wouldn't be surprised, seeing as he has anger issues, but at the same time, I hope he's back on Tuesday. However, because there won't be sodding going on, I hope to be able to get the walkway in this weekend. It really shouldn't be that big a job, though I know it'll end up being somewhere between my optimistic view and Geoff's pessimistic fears. Still, I think it'll be closer to my approximation than Geoff's.
5. I have absolutely no idea why, but I actually enjoy weeding. It's satisfying, even though it's like laundry, and is never, ever done. *shrugs* Don' know, but I spent a quarter hour this morning weeding the front garden, and it was very soothing and uplifting. Of course, because it is a rather Sisyphusian task, there is always another chance to enjoy it. :-/
Hope you all have a marvelous weekend.
