Feeling Good

This has been a half-decent weekend. I went to the Last PAPM Formal Ever, as someone has ominously titled their Facebook album documenting the event. It was pretty good, but I left early, because I just didn't have the energy.

Saturday I only left my apartment to do groceries. There is homemade soda bread and a bunch of reading done as a result of my efforts. Soda bread is great, great, great because you don't have to let it rise - just mix the dough, score a cross in the top, and bung it in the oven. So much less work and waiting than making actual leavened-with-yeast bread. Perhaps next I will see whether my pizza dough recipe can be converted to foccacia.

Elise and Mum are in Toronto, and I wish I could be there but the trip was just too long for such a short time. I needed a weekend to chill out, and it would have been very easy to chill out with them but I was not up for the ten hours on the bus. This does mean we won't see each other until May, most likely, but we will just have to deal with that. Nearly five months is quite a long time.

While waiting for a family reunion, I will bolster my already-reasonable Cheer Levels by perusing the following reinterpretations of classic cartoon strips:

Nietzsche Family Circus

Garfield Minus Garfield

And speaking of family reunions, here is my Unofficial Cowboy Husband singing about them: enjoy.
