In LJ news: LiveJournal has decided to switch from Hitbox to Omniture "for aggregating site usage statistics". That post tells you about what kind of data they're collecting, privacy policies, and how you can opt out anyway if for some reason you really, really want to.


Yesterday (Tuesday, that is) I spent the day being restless and trying to rest in that restlessness: a sort of meditation, I suppose. Didn't turn on the computer, the television, the radio, or the CD player, no matter how tempted I was to distract myself. Did read rather a lot, but that wasn't escapist (even though some of it might have looked that way to someone who wasn't me). Walked a bit around sunset. Didn't talk to people other than the basic pleasantries. Did rather a lot of thinking and rather a lot of observing my thinking.

Later in the day, it seems like a craving for vitamin C hit, because I ended up in the kitchen making as much cranberry-blackberry-orange sauce as I could. Today that seemed like an amazingly good idea, because I felt like I was coming down with a cold. And, while this morning began much as a continuation of yesterday, beginning a few hours after waking I made up for yesterday's lack of distraction by distracting myself almost endlessly, flitting from one thing to another to another to another. Never left the house, though. Now that it's after midnight, I certainly should be getting to bed (and, one hopes, sleep). Here's hoping my immune system kicks out all unnecessary invaders quickly, because I am not in the mood for any upper-respiratory infections right now, thanks.

Hmm... I think I had something more to say when I opened this window, but I no longer remember what it was. Maybe it'll come back to me after a few hours' sleep.

That sauce sounds really good. Do you have a recipe, or is it something that you just winged?

No real recipe, though it shouldn't be too far off from a typical whole cranberry sauce recipe. The only ingredients I used were cranberies, blackberries, a couple of oranges, honey, and water.
