I spent most of the day dozing, so hopefully I will succeed at pulling that all-nighter and going erranding. I really need to get some stuff Done. Maybe I'll stop at Kerbey Lane for a big ol' omelet. They do good omelets.
I'm getting dug in to my ARC of the new Valdemar book. It is classic Mercedes Lackey; miserable kid in a bad situation gets rescued and is Special. In this case the kid is a slave in a gemstone mine... am I wrong, or did she just up the ante? And since it's a Valdemar book, he's rescued by being Chosen. So far about all that's happened is the being Chosen and starting to find his way around classes. So far I'm enjoying it but I'm very glad to have scored it on BookMooch rather than be faced with the prospect of buying it in hardcover.
Have any of you tried Conjure Oils? ![[info]](https://www.scribbld.com/img/userinfo.gif) rehd_fawx and I were drooling over some of the product descriptions on their site and I'm thinking of ordering a few sample vials to investigate. Gonna put together a wishlist and start contemplating.
Because I really needed another etailer of gorgeous smellies, right? But I do need joy where I can get it, so.
Time to shower, hopefully that will help me get clear-headed. |

Got the BookMooch and the bribe for rehd_fawx mailed out, got my meds (all of which are generics now!) picked up, had a nice big breakfast at Kerbey Lane (baked potato omelet with homefries and sourdough toast), went to Fiesta. It was Unusual Fruit Day. I got lychee, longan, and loquat (all canned) and mamey (fresh).
Finished the new Valdemar book. It's pretty much a rehash of her standard themes, but it was a pleasant enough read. Still, I'm quite pleased to not have had to pay for it. |

Why oh why is mamey not more popular?
I think they one I had was underripe; the Wikipedia article compares the texture to avocado and mine was more a sort of dense melon-squash. But the flavor was a nommeriffic maraschino cherry taste that handily kicks papaya and mango's asses, and that rich deep orange just has to point to lots of beta carotene.
Oh yes. I think I like mamey. |

So Austin Grocer is open again. Instead of grocery delivery they now label themselves a "concierge service" and charge three times as much. Looks like I'm back to buying smaller bags of cat food every time I shop :(
Damn it. |

Thanks to doombuggie I have some Serious Food, both for me and the cats. I have pastrami. And knishes. Also some yummy-looking blueberry-blackberry juice and a few other tasty goodies, although the GREAT BIG SACK OF CAT FOOD was the centerpiece of the excursion.
Rest well, little kitties, your larder is full. |
