Quick (?) Catching Up Post
Nov. 2nd, 2012 11:50 amOK, let's see, Vegas with Lee was superfantastic. Our first night there we went to Sage for an amazing meal that included Fois Gras Creme Brûlée and ended with flaming absinthe. Lee had made us reservations at the spa for the next day, and I ended up spending the whole day enjoying the steam room, heated pools, stone beds, and salt room, except for the time we had smaller but still fabulous meals at a couple of the other restaurants in Aria. Before I had to get to the airport on my last day there, we had time to see the Chihuly exhibit and wander the shops and ride the tram. Such a nice couple of days of vacation.
i must have picked up a bug either there or on the way back - I fought it for a while thinking I could just soldier through, but after eating about a quart of chicken soup at Soul Food Farms Stone Soup Event on Saturday and still feeling bad on Sunday, I had to admit I was actually sick. I ended up losing most of the next week to feeling really crummy and not being able to do anything.
But that passed and I a nice bounce from being healthy and I've been really quite productive for the past week. Among my usual catching up on household chores, I got my hair cut on Monday www.flickr.com/photos/8313730@N07/sets/72157631883241527/with/8136358869/ and bought a large portion of a business-appropriate wardrobe on Wednesday (I bought candy for trick-or-treaters, but by the time I got home they were pretty much done with my street and then it was raining, so that candy will just have to go in the freezer for next year).
I've avoided the news and storm coverage pretty assiduously, and that was the right call because just watching TDS and Colbert was almost more than I could take. At least my lingering Katrina issues don't come out that often. Except for my irrational resentment that FEMA underwrites my flood insurance, but I'm trying to get over that and it doesn't make any practical difference, really.
So, yeah, that's about it. I'll be job seeking in earnest starting Monday, and I am actually kind of looking forward to it, which is an unexpected development.
