kaberettEating: dinner last night involved the first tomatoes off the plants on the patio. Lunch today was soup & houmous I found reduced in the shop on the way home from the gym, the latter topped with smoked paprika hurrah, plus a pitta. I am now feeling somewhat less grouchy.
Drinking: a lot of angry water + some simple syrup + some lime wedges + some mint + some cold squares.
Reading: ybeb, again, and it is immensely soothing.
Listening: Soldiers - Matt Fishel, on repeat, content note: reference to suicide & discussion of death. I keep remembering it on the bus and crying some more. (Though it seems we're living in easier times/there are still soldiers out on the front lines...)
Growing: tomatoes!!! Pak choi and calabrese are sprouting. Fennel about to go in the ground, and onions for overwintering in another fortnight or so.
Post: thank you tovass and divulge, not that I'm managing to e-mail you -- Vass, I suddenly understand the point of washi tape, THANK YOU for the stegosaurs, and at the point that I scraped together the brain to actually open it I spent fifteen minutes spreading the stickers around on the sofa (and picking them up from where they'd ...exploded) and giggling. divulge, I am drawing plans of the allotment and working out crop rotations in the DINOSAURS BOOK and I am inevitably delighted by the 'osaurs + the succulents. Thank you <333
Grumpy e-mails: this morning's highlight boiled down to "so is this Compulsory Active Bystander Training actually compulsory given I'm on interruption and also I'm an activist of over a decade's standing, PS why EXACTLY did college end up picking an overpaid white man to deliver this material".

Date: 2018-07-27 08:35 am (UTC)(PS I also keep meaning to mention, though it is kinda Too Late Now, that I found a memory foam travel pillow made sleeping propped up on my back MUCH less miserable. Oh, executive dysfunction, how I love your impact on time-critical communications.)

Date: 2018-07-27 08:54 am (UTC)(Thank you for the thought. In hospital I kind of just put up with it, but at home I found that I could modify the standard back and neck pain pillow nest to make a different angle. One which lets me sleep tilted to one side but not actually lying on a side.)
