It has been over 20 years since we had a kitten in the house. Boyhowdy. They are busy little critters. He’s been terrorizing everyone in between naps and baths and general cuteness.
I’ve been sick for 3 weeks. Note to future self: in November, up your vitamin C. The C helped more than anything else. Megadoses. Christmas and New Years are a blur. I had really boosted my workouts before the sickness hit, and for that I am glad. I think that the extra strength I had started to build really helped.
Next year, we are going to the Caribbean for the holiday season. Have to. We are still the tan and happy Eric and Friday. I have to remember that in winter somehow. Right now, we are the pasty, snotty, and grumpy Eric and Friday.
Starting to plan out the garden. I should have started a week or two ago but well, I just couldn’t even think with that coldfluwhatever that took over. We have added more garden beds so my capacity will double. It will take quite an effort to set them up but worth it.
Citrus have arrived. Preserved lemons in salt. And lots of tangerine peel for drying.
I have been stressed out recently. Really stressed out. Like existentially stressed out. The sickness was terrifying to me and there’s other stuff I am going through in my relationships that is causing great distress. I’m already tired of writing and of thinking. Winter is the worst.
So here’s some pictures.
