P.S. There's stuff in the oven too, as well as the back table. I love this part of my day.(these two pics led to a non stop photo-shoot of documenting mundane kitchen events, but I'll spare you the details)

okay. I'm done.

I got to speak Spanish with people at LCC!
I wasn't looking forward to going to LCC at all but this was totally worth it.
Big Smile.

The Perks of Food Poisoning
Last night was really funny. (Not ambiguous/all purpose/ could mean anything from traumatic to awkward "funny" but actually humorous :)
I slept with the lights on all night, mostly out of fear that I would need to throw up again and I didn't want to booby trap myself with nausea and no sense of direction. It's completely unlike me to sleep with the lights on. The tiny light on my computer that tells me when it's charging is usually enough to keep me awake at night. But last night I not only slept really well with the lights on, I also periodically woke up feeling really euphoric. It seemed like every few hours I'd wake up with a smile on my face and when I did I'd discover that I'd fallen asleep in the middle of trying to do something. Like at 3am I'd still have my jacket on but my pants would be all wodded up in my hand like I was about to do something with them. I got lots of giggles out of it. I'm not sure what made the night so great. Usually when you wake up that many times in one night it's irritating. I think I was just happy to not be throwing up. :) lol.
So there's something to look forward to if you ever get food poisoning. It makes you grateful for little nuances we take for granted. Like normal digestion.

Lament
Wanted to celebrate inauguration and Really wanted to go to BJJ for promotions. Way too sick to leave the house though. It's probably in everyone's best interest that I stayed home. Getting sick after the party is usually accepted but I get the feeling that showing up sick is generally frowned upon.

Orion
Last night I saw Orion. He looked bigger and brighter than I've ever seen. I want to experience the constellation out among the trees, away from all the light pollution. Apparently there's an Orion nebula. Who would have known?

Shadow Boxing
Shadow boxing on my new leg is weird.
hmmmm. This is the first time I've thought of it as a "new" leg... maybe because I feel like I just took it out of the box to play with it for the first time in a while... anyway, It feels strange when I pivot.
Before, when I had the screws in, I felt pressure at the screw sites when I walked/jogged. Now I actually feel it at the break site. Especially when I twist or pivot on that leg.
Guess it's still going through a metamorphosis.
I can't wait to roll with it. That'll be interesting.

Today
Around 4:30 it occurred to me that there was probably a good sunset happening out there and I had just missed it. I was annoyed that it hadn't occurred to me earlier but then I figured I'd go out just in case. It turned out the best part was just happening. If I'd stayed in and been annoyed I would have missed it. Great lesson. Just go out there and do it. Beats being in a bad mood.

Wait in the Fire
My day centered around the sunset today. Since 4 the previous morning I've been waiting for it. Sounds strange but it was my big plan to get out of the house after several weeks of being cooped up. It was soooo much more than I expected it to be. I went outside around 3:20pm and waited and watched the sky. It was beautiful but subdued so after an hour or so I headed home. Half way there I realized the real show was starting. So I turned back and followed it and wandered places I hadn't gone before and the colors offered more everywhere I went. Every direction I looked the sky was lit up. Ardent reds and deep blues, colors that emulsified into pastels. I watched as the moon rose hallowed in a thin layer of white cloud. I watched every ember blaze but returned home before the sky turned dark. Using the burning clouds to guide my way home.
If Water Could Burn
Coals of the coolest blue
Floating in lines
Each with blazing underbelly
Strung like pearls across the sky
The subsiding rage of orange flame
Against the backdrop of deepening night

Semi Annual Flu/Cold/Mystery Illness Freak Out
4 days, 1 meal, and about 6 hours sleep. I will be so happy when this is over.
You'd think after 12 days I'd be on the up swing. Some things have to get worse before they get better. Maybe the recent worsening is a sign of immanent .... better getting....

Mistaken Identity
I've never been so consistently mistaken for someone else as I have been this year. I ran into someone at Alan Bro's this evening and she called me by another name. Luckily, it was a flattering mistake but I am thinking of changing my name to something more memorable.
