Why am I watching Man of Steel on TV tonight when I own the DVD and have a borrowed Australian indie thriller to watch?

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

You remind me, I should Neti pot tonight and drink more water.

Ugh, I need to go use the neti pot again. Usually it's super satisfying, but now I'm just tired of doing it. STOP IT SINUSES.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

Can you massage your face over the sinuses? That has helped me get even more to drain when I do it before or after neti-ing.

I've been kind of poking my face in agony, but not actually massaging. I'll try that!

Compassionately intolerant

Oh, how awful, Steph!

I hate the running tap and pounding sinuses. Ugh.

I usually get a little relief from putting peroxide in my ears also with the neti bottle.

Quick healing to you.

My kitchen is jam PACKED with awesome food. Such a bounty makes me humble.

The mushroom gravy from Plant Pure Nation is even yummier today.

I went to the earthy crunchy store today for a couple of additions to the pantry and was CRUSHED to see that they don't carry Sriracha Sauce because it contains something unhealthy. I love that stuff. Hmph. Maybe putting it in hummus healths it up.

Well, bonny, it definitely makes the hummus yummy. I wonder if the TJs sriracha is better or worse?

I'm trying to write every day, but I'm using a composition book to do it and I refuse to pressure myself to write more than a sentence or two. I'm also trying to write one letter a week. This week it was to my dad.

I roasted some garlic & sausage along with the veg, and caramelized some onions. It was delicious and I jammed that in my face so quickly.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

There is quite a bit of unhealthy food still in my fridge from the holidays. I am going to try and limit what I consume while still trying to use stuff up.

I am doing the same. I decided to see how long I can go without buying any new alcohol or sweets, but I am letting myself finish off the stuff I already had.

Thrive to spite them

I'm going to try Buzzfeed's 28 day workout challenge instead of focusing on food. I need to get more active and I'm still trying to adjust to Mom's weird eating habits but I'm trying to make better choices eating.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

I hadn't really formalized it to myself, but I'm doing the same things Lee, I guess.

OK, have given up on the kitchen for the day. Even though I know, intellectually, it's a many day project, seeing how much is left undone each night is disheartening. But I have picked out clothes for tomorrow and I'm freshly showered so tomorrow morning should be easy. With a little luck, work-work will not be too tiring tomorrow and I can put in a few more hours of kitchen wrangling in the evening.

Your dinner sounds delicious, shrift!
