Hummingwolf Today
Sunday, January 20th, 2008 07:03 pmWeather: Arctic. Okay, those of you in higher latitudes (or altitudes) might call me a wimp for feeling that afternoon temperatures of 23°F (-5°C) with wind chill values of 13°F (-11°C) are a wee bit nippy, but for our climate, this weather is considered cold and I feel justified in calling it so.
Today's Best-Loved Article of Clothing: Flannel-lined black L.L. Bean jeans. Picked 'em up from a Salvation Army store for a few dollars a while back, but on a day like today, they'd be worth full price.
Also Grateful For: My nifty green wool beret. Though it is not one of the famed Green Berets, it is nicely protective.
Now Wearing: Warm yet mismatched socks, pair of Nikes that need to be replaced, a tacky Warner Brothers cartoon-themed New York t-shirt underneath a long dark blue sweatshirt, glasses, the aforementioned jeans, and boring underwear.
Miles Walked: About three. Today was the first time in days that I'd managed to find the energy to drag myself out of the house for any real activity.
Last Meal Eaten: Chicken with okra, a little bit of potato, lots & lots of garlic and onion, all fried up in slightly too much olive oil, and seasoned with salt, pepper, and thyme. Also ate a piece of Asiago cheese and am now contemplating a dessert of canned pumpkin mixed with plain yogurt, honey, cinnamon, and nutmeg.
Books Completed Recently: Absolutely none. There was one I'd checked out from the library a while back which I gave up on today, finally realizing that slogging through it simply did not appeal to me. Not sure if that had anything to do with the book itself or if it was simply because I'm excessively tired recently.
Possible Reasons Why I'm Excessively Tired: Too much medication (neurologist increased my dose last week). Too little iron. Wrong time of month (migraines & seizures more likely). Too many housemates playing their music too loud at all my usual naptimes. Some misalignment in the stars. [Edit: Or possibly still dealing with leftover bits of that neverending cold from last year.]
Number of Books Currently Checked Out: Four. I am nearly done with one of them, so here's hoping I can get back into the groove one of these days.
