Adventures of a well-rounded geek
Brittany's birthday party = complete. With Elisabeth's help, I created quite a lovely charcuterie picnic spread yesterday evening, complete with a build your own peanut butter pickle sandwich station. Did anyone else know that was a thing? It's one of Brittany's favorite (and weirdest) combinations, so I had to offer it at the party. Turns…
Today has been a task oriented day. I have gotten some reading in though so it wasn't all go go go. Tomorrow I'm throwing Brittany a picnic birthday party so I had to get stuff for that. I decided I'm going to do a charcuterie spread for her bday dinner since fried cauliflower wings and…
Yesterday morning I met up with Brittany at Parker's farmers' market. My purpose was two-fold: get myself some bread and pickled dilly beans and hang out with Brittany. I emailed The Bread Box a month or so ago and asked about their vegan options and when they responded with the long list of delicious sounding…
On Friday I allowed myself to wear exercise leggings. I wanted something comfortable and figured I've been doing fairly well staying put together so I could let loose a bit this one Friday. I was comfortable, yes, but by the end of the day I changed into jeans because I felt too messy. My brain…
My days are flying by and I feel like I have almost no time to write my blog anymore. It's really great in one sense, because it means I'm living life so much that I don't have time to document it. But I also want to document it so I may look back and see…
The court approved my divorce. I am now officially divorced and single according to the law. Gene and I still need to meet to sign stuff over to one another, so I'm not completely done yet, but I'm extremely close. I found out Friday morning and had mixed feelings. I cried. I still have mixed…
Yesterday I met up with Brittany again to watch a vegan cooking class and wander around Tagawa Gardens for a bit. The cooking class was actually just a chance to try some food and get some new recipes. The host didn't show us how to cook anything because all her recipes were either for the…
My platelets were low again yesterday. It's something my physician's assistant said could happen with this treatment, but since they were normal last week, I was expecting them to be normal again. It sucked that they weren't. It's really hard not knowing what is wrong or if this treatment will fix the issue. I have…
Yesterday was a pretty awesome day. I started steroids again for my low platelet count, just to tide me over until I start my weekly treatment this Friday as I was at an extremely low count on Monday and the doctors were concerned. So I started feeling more confident about my body yesterday once I…
My Sunday was quite lovely as it included brunch at Kayla's and sugar cookies at Brittany's. Elisabeth and I got to visit Kayla's home again and eat her delicious oatmeal breakfast bake. It is so nice to have other people cook for you! Don't get me wrong, I enjoy cooking and baking, truly, but it's…
