lagilmanSo, maybe walking 6+ miles in raw spring weather wasn't the best idea... or maybe my mother cursed me when I made a joke about everyone ELSE having a cold in email yesterday. Either way, I woke up this morning with my sinuses alternating between blocked and marathoning. And it's been so long since I had a head cold, the only meds in the cabinet expired in 2010.
(Painkillers, I've got. Digestive cures, I've got. Cold/flu meds? Nada.)
Nonetheless, managed to haul back into Manhattan for another brunch that could't be beat, this time at Atlantic Grill. Scrambled egg and applewood bacon quesadilla, followed by an apple crumble with cinnamon ice cream and salted caramel sauce, followed by a stop at the Duane Reade to pick up Mucinex DM Sinus meds. Ahhhhh relief.
Said medication worked well and fast enough that I could finish the furniture rearrangement I'd started on Friday. The bedroom and lounge are now in their new configurations, and a lot of things I'd been holding onto either from inertia or the hope that I'd find a use for them are now gone either to the trash or better homes (including the newest aloe sproutings, because 3 healthy aloe plants is enough for one apartment). My brain and body both feel better when the clean lines and open space of the apartment are, well, clean and open.
I intend to indulge in a carb-heavy dinner, take more meds, and go to bed early tonight. Tomorrow is soon enough for all the work I didn't get done this weekend... (which is the second yay! because I thought a LOT about what needs to be done on the books, and have Direction now).
What are you looking forward to diving into, this week?

"What are you looking forward to diving into, this week?"
Date: 2014-03-23 10:11 pm (UTC)- trying to keep to my New Year's plan of having three short pieces under submission at any one time (one's out there + one that'll be finished today = one left to do)
- a couple of interviews for a potential new day job, since the graduate program where I teach is closing in August
- picking up a stack of requested books when the library opens on Tuesday
Apple crumble with cinnamon ice cream and salted caramel sauce sounded good, so I dug some salted caramel butter pecan ice cream out of the fridge. See? I take advantage of your mentoring even when it's not intended as such.
Feel better, work well.
