Other than not wanting to wake up at all today, and still being stuffed up, I’m definitely on the mend. Huzzah.

I totally forgot today was a holiday until 3:30 p.m. when I tried to make an obgyn appt and discovered the office was already shut. Oh yeah.

I’ve got chicken curry simmering on the stove. It’s a recipe Sarah (Hi Sarah! [wave]) made while she was here. We threw in asparagus to her recipe then, and it was trés good. So this time I’m also adding baby carrots, baby red potatoes, and cabbage along with the asparagus. I think we’re going to have food for a week.

My comp copies of Sacred Exchange arrived yesterday! It’s so cool to hold a book in my hand (even if I have only one story in it). I forgot I revealed my true identity in my bio. Heh.

Yep, definitely feeling better today, and I got more done because of it. Lots of e-mails written. Finally stencilled my loom. Straightened various rooms. Made some appointments. That sort of thing. Ought to be writing…

Ken and I are planning a quick trip up to the Bay Area to visit Dan, who will make a job for him if Ken wants it. We don’t actually want to live there, alas (housings costs, and it’s the _West_), but Dan’s a good contact/resource. We’ll probably go up one day, spend the night, and then take a leisurely ride home down Hwy 1. Bummer that we can’t afford to stay in Cambria, where we got engaged, but oh well. It’ll still be a gorgeous ride.

Tomorrow we’ll be at a demo at UCI all day, and Sunday we’ll be at a GWW meeting and Easter dinner with his mom and Dennis.

And it will be Eostre’s Day! Four years ago, a skinny, starving, filthy white cat slunk under our car… “She knew where she was going,” Ken said. “She knew we would help her.”
