Lacking Any Reputable Content...

I would like to thank my editors & my body for conspiring so that I got sick the week I had no manuscripts to work on. It's made resting considerably easier (I still would have been sick, but this morning's unexpected 90 minute nap would not have happened).

I have, meanwhile, managed to get through some of the interviews/Q&As I owed people, successfully (I hope) fight with the folk at AT&T MC about my AWOL credit, and have been thinking thinky thoughts about several upcoming projects. The itch to get to work is growing, and I really need to get a check to the bank, but I think there's another day of recovery yet to go.

Stupid head cold.

EtA: lunch (nekkid pasta), some important phone calls, a round-the-corner to put something in the mailbox, and the body, it has had enough. 4pm is naptime. The cats approve.

More disreputable content...

Scammers are so cute...

( an invitation to sin (stupidly), behind the cut )

The fact that people might and do still fall for this is a comment on the logical thought processes and venality of much of our shared species, I'm afraid to say.

In more appetizing news, having a duck breast in the fridge that needed to be cooked this week, I did indeed cook it. And I ate it. Well, I ate about 1/3 of it. Pan-baked (so I could skim off the fat), scored and seasoned with my tagine mix. Nom. And enough left over to make two more meals (duck risotto on Friday? Could be....). No wine, tho - too early in the recovery period for that.

No, I did not take pictures - I was too busy trying to defend my meal from a certain Cat-of-Size who is currently in disgrace.

And yes, as you may have guessed from this food report, I'm feeling better. Not 100% yet, but well over 60%, which is a damned nice improvement....
