Random Life things

Thu, 05 Jan 2017 01:50:08 GMT

I'm still working away on this Mythos story. I feel like it is too expositiony, but I also like parts that I have written. Maybe I can rearrange stuff a bit once I have more written to give it more punch. I don't have a whole ton of time, but as it is for submission I really need it to be *good*. I'm trying to keep faith that there is even a chance the effort could pay off (literally, as in pay decent cash monies). We shall see!

Despite the timing conflict, I did sign up for Chocolate Box. I guess we'll see how that goes? I dunno though, I feel very out of touch with fandom (this is not new).

Tomorrow I go back to the museum for volunteering. We'll see how that goes. Probably I should check that email.... Whoops, it looks like they were hoping I would be in today, d'oh. Well at least I have stuff to do (maybe) tomorrow. Depending on who is around :p Or maybe Friday? *more emailing ensues* We are opening the VR exhibit next week, and I've been pretty involved with that, so it's pretty cool to see it come together!

Other things.... today was not a super productive day. I made banana bread with the kids, though, and played with them, and was accidentally viciously headbutted (the underside of my nose still hurts, despite icing!). I did manage to get up before 10, with the help of my alarm. Tomorrow I have to get up at 7, though, pleh. Well, assuming I go in then and not Friday. However there is knitting tomorrow night regardless, and it will be nice to go be social in person, and maybe make some progress on that sock I ripped back.

I didn't go see Rogue One again last night. I had my weeks mixed up. Next week!

I think that's all I've got for you today. Peace, journal peeps!

Lan vs. Butter Chicken

Thu, 17 Dec 2015 00:21:19 GMT

My sister made crock pot butter chicken for dinner on Friday. There were leftovers.

On Sunday, I put some in a container to take and eat for lunch on Monday, and the rest in another container to freeze and take for lunch on Tuesday.

On Tuesday, I grabbed a container out of the fridge that was the same type I had put in. It turned out to be chili.

My sister made chili for dinner last night, as had been ordained in the meal plan, so I knew it wa coming.. I cursed my luck (and my lunch), sucked it up, and had chili for two meals in a row.

This morning, I found the other container, looked to see that it was about the right colour, and had been in the right place, and put it in my bag to take for lunch.

It was chili! From a different batch - one my BiL had made where he'd interpreted 'not very spicy' to mean 'containing very few spices at all that had been subsequently doctored to be more edible. I didn't even know we *had* three of that kind of container! I very nearly ran off in search of other food, and would have if I had a longer lunch. I get half and hour and take 20 min most days so I can leave 10 min early and catch a less stupid bus.

Dinner tonight was meant to be chili again. I scavenged and found some other leftovers.

I checked the freezer and found the butter chicken (dear god I hope), and I will eat it for lunch tomorrow or I will cry.

[I keep meaning to make long lie updates, and keep not having time or motivation, so i will try and post something - anything - when I can]
