I made these peanut sauce noodles last week and was pleased with the sauce. Deeply disappointed in the soba noodles that broke apart before they even finished cooking, tho. I'll use a different brand next time.
Thanks to solidarity withnaye , I wrote 1,342 words on Reconstruction this week! Fandom friends are such a blessing.
Had a bit of a pity party for myself last night because I canceled my plans to see a local surf rock band play an early show downtown. I was already tired (I've been extra tired all week) and have a busy weekend with plans that involve other people that I didn't want to cancel. The whole evening my brain pummeled me with things like "it's going to be too cold to go to these pretty soon" and "hope that potential fun-times partner you've been dreaming about wasn't at the show."
sigh. Thanks, brain.
Also my left hip has hurt all week because I overdid the yoga again. I suspect an inflamed labrum. I'm thinking I need to just stop with all mobility work except for myofascial release. Which of course brings up a whole bunch of other "in my previous life" feelings where I for years went to yoga every week and was even enrolled in a teacher training certification class (but had to drop out because--you guessed it--fatigue issues). Now that I think about it, the constant low-level pain has probably been exacerbating this week's fatigue issues.
But! I have lots of fun distractions today and tomorrow. Early this afternoon I'm going to a friend's house to watch the first few episodes of The Untamed with him (I've been trying to get him to watch it for years) and drinks with friends this evening. Tomorrow I'm touching up my roots which usually lifts my mood and then there's a carillon concert on campus that Coworker A and I are attending.
Small pleasures, right? Small pleasures.

I'm slightly irritated because I think I have to admit that I need to get some sort of supportive sneakers for walking/standing on hard surfaces. I tried to get arch support insoles for my Blundstones, but even when I take out the regular insoles to put them in the instep is too tight. Plus I think I need some flexibility to the soles when I'm on my feet a lot. These thoughts brought to you by "getting older sucks", and a long walk at the park followed by a grocery store trip and now everything from my toes to my knees hurts.

Not only will I be in comfy clothes on a couch, I'll be enjoying a drink and cheese plate with one of my best friends, and getting to hang out with her monster of a puppy (that's in size, she's a Shiloh Shepherd and HUGE).

A friend recommended "See" to me. It's on apple TV, though so I'm trying to figure out a way to watch it.

I hope your sore parts feel better soon. So glad you have events to look forward to, not to mention enviable writing progress!
(Carillon, oh dear. I grew up around a university with one of those and I haven't heard it in many years, but I think it would bring a huge wash of nostalgia...).
